heywoodu 13,574 Posted January 30, 2017 #173 Share Posted January 30, 2017 1 hour ago, dcro said: I don't get why they have 5km/10km pursuits as medal events in cross-country skiing, that doesn't exist anywhere... It's just as much nonsense as having both the sprint and pursuit as separate medal events in biathlon, even at the Olympics And as for the XC pursuit tomorrow: basically what you've got now is like a shorter version of a skiathlon, only with a day of rest in between instead of a ski exchange If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,574 Posted January 30, 2017 #174 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Making some readily watchable highlights is an art in itself, because having two 23-25 minute videos with only highlights about the day might be a bit long... But at least it shows a lot If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,574 Posted January 30, 2017 #175 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Video 2A --> At 8:45 first we see Confortola closing in on Bruna and in the scene after that we see the reason why Andree-Anne Theberge didn't finish the race, she collapsed..luckily she got back on her feet after that, being helped off by a Russian team official.

That's the goal The first plan was to go nearly all-out on the first half of the 5k lap, which is mostly a very long uphill, trying to stay in the front of the wave group (14 athletes) and maybe catch 1-2 athletes in front, then just try and see how much energy there's left for the second part (which has a downhill, tiny barely noticeable uphill, downhill, flat, downhill, flat, finish). At the team captain's meeting they said they won't do the 5k lap however, but two laps on a different, 2.5k course. It's easier, with only the uphill at the beginning, but it also means the plans had to be adjusted a bit If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

hckošice 13,292 Posted January 30, 2017 Author #178 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Ok 2 major and incredibly weird things from this day. Canada-GBR 75-0 shots on goal and the 2 czech shorthanded goals in some 20 seconds..this is just wow..this must be so embarassing for Sweden...really can not remember when I heard about 2 conceded goals during 1 power-play even at junior level so not mentioning this seniors level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,574 Posted January 31, 2017 #179 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Wow, the conditions at Alatau have completely turned around and instead of yesterday's beautiful blue skies, we have a huge amount of snow falling at the XC and biathlon tracks If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
