Niskanen took off both his hat and his hair?

Koristek finally allowed to compete

Summer Pollock is out, too bad. This 'out when you're lapped rule', ugh.

Bolshunov and Musgrave among five Norwegians. Hope both win medals.

Confidently predicting 7th for Musgrave.  

[Monzanator 4,579]

Yeah, Bolshunov's pace is too much for Musgrave. Klaebo getting tailed off too.

Ugh, if there is one thing I despise, it is that rule of defending champions getting an extra starting place in individual sports.

 

Nobody would be missing the fifth Norwegian.

GB winning a medal would be funny after they already fluked a medal in freestyle skiing. GB has some serious diversity in winter sports. They could medal in alpine skiing, snowboard, freestyle skiing, shorttrack, skeleton, curling and cross-country at the Olympics.

Agree it's dumb, but still not as dumb as the 'out when you're lapped' rule.

Three Norwegians getting absolutely gassed.
