Why did they hold the Norwegian nationals in Finland?

Sigh... Cross-country relays are just so utterly sad compared to the biathlon ones. Powerhouses having multiple teams and some odd Estonian relay here and there. Pathetic.

I’m barely old enough to remember when cross country relays were *the* event. I kiss those Italian - Norwegian wars.

Dreadful relay. Hope there'll be some fight for third place at least.

SWE, USA and RUS will all have much better teams at the world championship. Norway can´t improve the team much.

At least it makes for easy breakfast watching while catching up with some other sports

Ustiugov's apparently back? Heard he had a tough time recovering from corona.

 

Glad he did eventually if he's really back.

Norway destroys competition here as well. Battle for second and third between two Russias and Finland.

 

Ustiugov v Bolshunov, that sounds interesting on paper.

Tempers, tempers.
