Swedish ski shape looked worse already last weekend and now worse but I can just hope it is the altitude and that they just need a few more days. I don´t know if it is my feeling or a fact that swedes are worse than others to prepare for high altitude. Tour de Ski as example, Ebba Andersson minutes after skiiers she is usually better than in val Mustair and then still finished 3rd in the overall after they travelled to the other venues.

no, it's not only your feeling...

 

also the Italian tv commentators yesterday were underlining this particular situation while explaining why Anterselva/Antholz is quite a different location than almost all the other world cup stations (the stadium is 1600+ meters in altitude)...

 

and they made the same example of Ebba Andersson and her fail in Val Mustair followed by the usual top results in the other TdS locations...

 

they also explained how the altitude affects not only the cross-country skiing (which is quite obvious and evident), but also the shooting phase because of its action on the blood and oxygen pressure...

It seems like the pre-season marriages have left even the French TV confused?

Another screenshot moment - Scott Gow :CAN leads!

 

Unfortunately has a classic sixth shot crisis.  :p
 

Leif Nordgren :USA misses the chance to go 0 0 0 - still good though.

 

Simon Eder first to go 0 0 0....

 

Loginov also 15/15

 

Jesper Nellin 4 misses on shoot 4!  :dunno:
 

Eder 18/18 & then....19/20 blows a certain podium.

 

Loginov first to 20/20!   Might still be vulnerable to 19/20 from a fast skier.

 

QFM bears Hofer to third by 0.1 of a second.

 

David Komatz :AUT also 20/20 but well down on time.

and those idiots want to get rid of the 15/20km individual race...:facepalm: :wall:

 

because it doesn't fit the average tv audience, they say...:hairpull:

It would be a disaster for the sport if we did get rid of it.  Every race would be won by the equivalent of Lars Berger or Miriam Gossner who ski fast & shoot at 80%.

      no idea. I just repeated what I read  but I won't be surprised if they make a mistake like this. the officials here are usually terrible in reading the rules. if I remember correctly they sent an Ice hockey team to the Games back in 2017 but most of the players were ineligible to play per IIHF rules and they played some friendlies instead    btw there is a federation, but not an ISU member. Ice Skating (which has a very very limited activity here) was a part of Skating (roller sports) federation but now moved to Skiing federation which officially changed its name to Skiing and Winter Sports Federation.

      There is a saying to never trust a Russian in gymnastics. Well, ex-Russian turned Bulgarian Elvira Krasnobaeva is transferring now to Armenia.   The "official" reason is for personal, family matters, but in reality it's most likely because she wasn't selected for Paris, which angered her parents. Even though she is only 16, had her breakthrough just this year and started making mistakes, when they amped up the difficulty.   Our Federation's President Iliana Raeva said today, that she received calls also from France and Azerbaijan about Elvira's mother basically auctioning her. Raeva mentioned, that Krasnobaeva was going to be a vocal point in the next Olympic cycle, but now she can hit the road and missed her chance to ever compete for Bulgaria, even if she wanted to in the future.    We are also going to make a new Group from next season. After the disappointment in Paris, 4 out of the 5 girls announced their retirement.
