I’ve told this story before, but about a decade back most commentators did not realise that the Kaisa Mäkäräinen who competed on the Biathlon Tour & the Kaisa Maekaeraeinin who competed on the Cross Country Tour were the same person.

 

Yeah, I remember that one, IBU used the Finnish umlauts or whatever that's called and FIS used the "ae" anglicized versions. There was also the infamous Jarkko Maeaettae in ski jumping

Meanwhile, the updated rankings (again, manually, so the usual disclaimer). It's going to be incredibly interesting/important to see who'll compete where in these last few races where points can be scored.

 

Crazy to think that Latvia will have at least four female skiers, and on top of that, they can still invite Bendika for the relay.

 

Who knows, maybe with this system there will be 15 relays at the start...

With the current allocation, including the 2-3 basic quotas picked up today, there should be 20 NOCs with at least four female skiers.

Is Latvia expected to use all four, even those who are rather far behind Eiduka?

Any quota refusal would be a giant shocker for a nation like Latvia.

In the end when you put Johaug aside quite good performance from our sprint hero Lampič. 18th place, more than 2 minutes behind winner, but only good minute to a medal and about 25 seconds to top 10.

Team Italy will be going home due to a positive COVID test!

So it started, I knew it was going to be too good to last until the end.
