Looks like Skottheim pulled a calf muscle?

I heard a "oh that's cramp, I know exactly how she feels judging by how she is holding her leg" next to me when we saw that, hopefully that is indeed what it was. Personally I fear it could be worse than cramp, but let's just hope it's not, never good to see athletes get injured.

I thought that with the season underway, it would be cool to look at some country stats right before the Christmas break and we'll be looking specifically at the medal table comparing 9 individual races + 2 relays of 2019-2020 and 2020-21 seasons.

 

First of all, in 2019/2020, 10 countries have already medaled, whereas this season there have been only 6 countries on the podium.

 

Norway is as dominant as ever, in 19/20 they already had 24 medals (14 gold) and this year they started with 29 medals (13 gold) out of only 22 races.

 

France is slightly underperforming going from 18 medals (4 gold) in 19/20 to only 10 medals this season (1 gold)

 

Biggest overperformer this season is Sweden with a brilliant amount of 15 medals, whilst they only had 3 in 22 races last year.

 

Surprisingly, it wasn't Germany that took the hit, this season they already have 8 medals whilst last season they only started out with 5.

 

One of the biggest fall can be felt for Russia that still has 0 medals when they had 5 last season by now.

 

Belarus with two medals is the only nation that didn't have medals last year at this point of the season while Italy suffered a small disadvantage going from 4 to 2 medals this season.

 

Finally, Switzerland (3), Czech Republic (2), Finland (1) and Ukraine (1) have not yet been on the podium this season.

 

You can make your guesses which nation is going to become the 7th nation in the medal table. My money's on Austria.

Loginov (and Russia) will be on the podium, sooner or later ;)

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
