I thought there were no Russians, only Belarusians.

Opposite way around,  you might've got them confused

Belarus is basically non-existent in cross-country (unlike biathlon). Every  in cross-country is Russian.

It is crazy that 20 years ago in Torino, Norway didn't win a single gold medal in cross-country skiing and only 4 medals in total.

I jumped to this with the downhill on another screen.  We're getting the world feed on streaming in the US, so no Chad Salmela and company just yet.  Don't know who I want to root for here!

Amazing first half from Truls. Let's see how he does in the changeover

Totally forgot this is 10k + 10k and not 15 + 15.  This is going to go quicker than I realized!

Hanna Karaliova, who qualified through the World Cup, is from Belarus. One of two women here (with Russian Darya Nepryaeva). Nepryaeva is significantly better though
