At the world championships they weren’t exactly flying either in the sprint. Alimbekava had the 22nd best time (46.6 seconds behind Chevalier-Bouchet), Tandrevold had the 14th best time (37.1 seconds behind) and Davidova had the 12th best time (36.1 seconds behind). Today Davidova was 12th, Alimbekava was 11th and Tandrevold was 10th, so they actually did better at worlds, you could say that they rather overperformed today.

Olsbu was way faster than Tandrevold though and she didn't really look sharp at the Worlds. If Tandrevold can't win a sprint with 10/10 and loses to Vittozzi who is having a bad season it's not exactly overperforming IMO. And losing to Dzhima is beyond any positives either.

US women were all out of the top 70.  Ouch!  Lots of missed targets.

Y Should it be that Tandrevold is underperforming , can't it be that Dzhima has performed very well today, normally she'd be 45s-1min behind the winner even after shooting 10/10 so she has done well.

@Illya

Moreover it's nice to see countries other than Norway and Sweden doing well... If all Norwegians win like that it wouldnt be that fun at all. 

 

Tandrevold has performed well today at the world champs especially in mass start she exceeded her own expectations this is her normal speed and not the one at world champs in mass start. I don't want the women's race to be boring as the men's with any of the 5 Norwegians capable of winning, 2 is enough here.

Two shootings air time for Amanda Lightfoot. Must be first time ever?

Great day for her   1 0 & a pursuit start.  She has had WC points a few times, but that was the best for a while.

Eckhoff gained 20 secs over Dzhima on the last lap

Dzhima is not a fast skier though, is a specialist in the Individual.

TV time for Crnković! And *only* two TV misses.

I think there is a slightly bigger bomb here

I think that this is easily the worst World Cup stage for Lithuania. 

 

Nobody had a good day in the sprints and everybody was slow as well.
