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.

Would say that the men's race was pretty fine. I would take an interval start any day of the year, but sometimes the mass starts are decent.

Excellent mass start race. Too bad Klaebo pulled a Bolshunov on Bolshunov and both ended up being the losing side :p 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

What are you criticizing? 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.

Just wait 10 more years and cross country will get rid of any distances over 10 km. 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.

This is bullshit, Klaebo had nowhere to go, at least they did not give Bolshunov gold.

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.

    • Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation. 
    • But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.   
    • And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.
    • Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response
    • It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious 
    • Algeria is third world.  Unless you lied about that as well and you don't actually live there.  Though I dont know why would someone pretend they live in that forgotten hell hole
    • You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.    
    • I don't think dropping a bomb in the center of London would be beneficial to their position on the stage of global sports, but hey, who knows  
    • Not typical a sport news, but worth to mention. Konrad Bukowiecki and Natalia Kaczmarek did married today. From now officialy Natalia will change her surname to Bukowiecka, she will not follow her team mates and will not have double surname     
    • Hurricane helene is coming , let's hide behind Nitraria  Only smart one will understand what i mean
