Pretty awesome final

LOL ... Slovenia might have the biggest fluke performance in the history of sport. Even Steven Bradbury sweeping the gold medals at the 2002 Olympics would have been a smaller fluke. I would bet that they won’t win more than 1 medal at the Olympics in Ski jumping/cross-country.

Nope. Nobody beats Rok Benkovic as the biggest Slovenian fluke in WCh history

They should definitely change the format of this competition, the first couple of legs are super boring. Also not sure why cross-country has two relays for each gender, I think they should either have a mixed relay or a mixed team sprint. Also interesting that Russia has a German coach ...

This is some clueless design, isn't it?

 

Don't they know that country codes are put next to flags? It's the whole point of using them, to make flags more recognizible to everyone. Putting them next to names is just ridiculous...

Looking at earlier in the season, USA is kind of disappointing and of course Norway is definitely missing, but other than that it's a fairly unsurprising result today. Not often you see an expected result while still having had a fun final
