[Olympian1010 8,070]

Good race for Brennen. Always nice to see an American win in cross country, even when the Scandinavians are gone.

Awesome win for Brennan, never even been in the semi's in sprints before and suddenly the 'anti sprinter' wins a sprint  Sure, no Scandinavians (not that the Finns would matter all that much anyway) but she beat quite a strong field anyway!

 

Great women's final with hard fighting for the entire top-4, too bad it was followed by an incredibly anticlimactic men's final  

[rybak 3,239]

Again good result for Monika Skinder

 

First points in season for Maciej Staręga and first career points for Weronika Kaleta, good that they took opportunities of missing Scandinavians, otherwise they surely wouldn't be in top30. I'm mad that neither Dominik or Kamil Bury didn't make a top30 with this field...

I'd be surprised if the World Cup in Dresden next weekend happens. There's no longer a discussion on whether or not there will be a 'hard lockdown' in Germany, the question is basically only when it will start: Tuesday or Wednesday.

 

Since it'll last until 10 January, I highly doubt the 9 and 10 January FIS races in Reit im Winkl will happen as well, which was supposed to be the main preparation race for the world championships for a certain Brazilian Totallympian.

According to this article https://www.mdr.de/sachsen/dresden/dresden-radebeul/adfc-skiweltcup-dresden-kritik-elberadweg-100.html the World Cup will go on. In Germany there are still professional World Cup competitions possible. We also have luge world cups and a Biathlon World Cup during the lockdown in January.

Good day also for  - Andrew Young 3rd & James Cleugnet 8th.  Both will be hoping Dresden goes ahead - there’s a team relay on Sunday, will have a great chance.  Andrew Musgrave will also be looking forward to today’s 15k ITT.

Can’t quite hold it, fades away on the second half.  Still top 10 though.  
 

Surely the Double for Rosie Brennan, nice CHF bonus for Christmas,

Top-10 very, very, very much counts as having some week/day.

 

Although it's of course not like she is some unknown name for people who follow cross-country skiing.
