Just caught up with yesterday, this must easily be the most bizarrely unfair World Cup race format I have ever seen, wow

 

How drunk was whoever thought of this? More fair would be to make the top-X go to some sort of next round. Maybe 5k is too long for that, so do like 1.4km, and make it heats of like 6 athletes, with a sort of knock out rounds.

it's still a nonsense...see the new open water swimming knockout race (which has exactly that format: heats, semis and final in a short span)

Some bits of news this morning 

 

 AO Slind has a cold, withdraws which pretty much guarantees the win for  Jess Diggins.

 

And  owe  a crate of beer because Altamiras gave up a ski pole to Andy Musgrave mid-race yesterday.

Yeah, I was sarcastic about that idea, what I described is of course already in existence as the regular individual sprint

There is a separate ranking based on gun-to-tape rankings in that particular race, who are awarded the FIS World Cup points, whereas Klaebo gets the Tour de Ski points.  

 

ANGER Edvin SWE 45:39.5
KRUEGER Simen Hegstad NOR 45:44.0 
REE Andreas Fjorden NOR 45:44.1 
PELLEGRINO Federico ITA 45:45.5 
STENSHAGEN Mattis NOR 45:51.8

It's a shame Pellegrino wasn't in the top 3... Davide Graz's form is hard to explain – he's probably sick again, but is it normal for a professional athlete to be constantly sick?

 

After Markus Cramer's 4 years in office, only Caterina Ganz remains at a decent-good level. The rest are even worse than they were at this time in 2022. I can't rate this job positively in anyway.
