Monzanator 3,828 Posted March 7, 2021 #653 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I watched a total of 5 mins of women's 30km and 0 mins of men's 50km. Waste of time with these mass starts but of course TV window rules and FIS knows shit. Kirkpatrick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take an interval start any day of the year, but sometimes the mass starts are decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,815 Posted March 7, 2021 #655 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Excellent mass start race. Too bad Klaebo pulled a Bolshunov on Bolshunov and both ended up being the losing side NearPup 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Personally I would prefer to only have the following events on the men’s side: Sprint freestyle Team sprint freestyle 10 km classic 10 km freestyle Not sure if the last two should be mass start or interval start. I think that mass start is more interesting, but it could be another easy gold for the best sprinters. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody wants to watch 2 hours of 50km mass start boredom and people have a hard time following Norwegian national championships each and every week. Few more years of lipstick Johaug winning by 3 minutes and even FIS will come up with some weird ideas how to cut this nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justony 444 Posted March 8, 2021 #658 Share Posted March 8, 2021 This is bullshit, Klaebo had nowhere to go, at least they did not give Bolshunov gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaebo had nowhere to go because he tried to go into a gap which didn't exist. It's like saying a race car driver had nowhere to go when he could have simply not accelerated in a certain place. Not trying a pass is also a way to go if there's no space. Just like Bolshunov tried to attack Mäki in Lahti when there was just no space for it.
