Such a disappointing women's competition after the expected Nilsson vs Falla battle was messed up :(

 

The men's race though....Pellegrino's final meters as strong as ever :bowdown:

 

And cool to see Klaebo, the next big superstar, take his first medal :cheer:

Falla and Pellegrino are World Sprint Champions 2017

Z

 

Maiken Caspersen Falla of Norway and Federico Pellegrino of Italy are World Champions in the free technique sprints in Lahti Finland.   Falla led the way ahead of a pair of American's Jessie Diggins in silver +1.66 and Kikkan Randall the bronze +3.76.  For Falla the 2014 Olympic Sprint Champion it was her first individual World Championship gold medal.  She previously won a gold medal in Falun 2015 in the team sprint with Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg.  For Diggins it was her third World Championships medal and her second silver.  She took second place in the 10 km free technique interval start in 2015, and was World Champion in the team sprint with Randall in 2013.  Randall completed her World Championship collection with bronze today, after taking sprint silver in 2009 in Liberec, and the silver with Diggins in Val di Fiemme.  Pre race favourites Stina Nilsson of Sweden and Natalia Matveeva of Russia went down in a crash on the final curve in their semi-final.  The contact earned Nilsson a yellow card and she was Ranked as Last in her heat.  

 

Italy's Pellegrino has always been known for his finish and today he came from second place off the final curve to take the gold and become the World Sprint Champion just won year removed from winning the overall FIS sprint title.  In the silver medal position was Russia's Sergey Ustiugov just +0.15 behind and in the bronze medal the rising start of the Norwegian team Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo +0.44 back.  It's a first time individual medal for Pellegrino who took the bronze in the team sprint in Falun 2015.  This was as well a first individual World Championships medal for Ustiugov who previous had a bronze medal in the 4 x 10 km relay in Val di Fiemme 2013.  He has many World Junior and U23 Championship wins.  For Klaebo it was his first ever World Championships and the bronze medal follows just 4 days after he recorded his first ever World Cup victory in Otepää, Estonia.  

 

Competitions continue Saturday with the ladies' and men's Skiathlon events.

I found only this so far, impossible to find any complet video including the Solano race if you were asking for that

I was :d 

 

Also for the women's race for obvious reasons but since that YT-channel put the men's race online a few minutes ago, I'm guessing they might put the women's race online later today :)

    • This season? It's a pity that we couldn't try fight for him, especially considering our problems in the sprints. 
    • Lara Malsinier and Alex Insam are junior World Championship medalists from a few years ago. Maybe it was possible to provide them with private teams then and now they could even fight for a single podium from time to time? I mean especially women because there, for example: Canada or France can be in the top, so why not us? Now Rodlauer from Austria has joined the Italian team but for now there is a huge gap to the top and only Sieff and Lara Malsinier are jumping well. There was success in the Summer Grand Prix but with a weak competition. Even 3rd place in a single competition in winter is worth more than winning the LGP with a terrible squad.   It remains to wait but I fear that the most we can count on is a dramatic fight with France and maybe Finland in the mixed competition at the World Championships. Bresadola probably won't return this season, so only the inconsistent Insam remains. 
    • When did Kim Min-Seok switch to Hungary?
    • Earlier today, Taiwan beat the USA    Of course it's car from the best US tram but it's still a big deal for Taiwanese baseball
    • And even here we lose to France? I really don't know what's the point of organizing the Olympics if you can't make progress in practically any sport. France has the Olympics in 2030 and there they will definitely prepare 100%, just like for Paris. We can't do that. It's obvious that in ski jumping we have no chance of winning medals, but decency dictates that we should at least win here with a France like that.
    • Finally the ski jumping season begins 11 teams in the (real) mixed team competition, no Switzerland.
    • Most of our athletes are constantly bothered by something: the pressure to qualify, the miss of pressure when they have already qualified, etc. It's the same in football: at the beginning of the season they are a poor form becouse of a little played and at the end of the season they are tired. They are always looking for excuses. A real champion always plays at a high level, like Sinner, and doesn`t look for 1000 excuses for his poor performance.
    • Think it is mentally difficult for the two teams with the Olympic place guaranteed and the pressure off, whereas everyone else is absolutely playing at 110%.  I'm sure things will be better once they get to Milan. 
    • There's no point in cheating, these were terrible European Championships for us. Retronaz out of form, Constantini with a huge number of big mistakes. Only illness can excuse it... We've probably lost the last 10 matches with Switzerland... It looks like Constantini had the tournament of her life in mixed doubles in 2022 in Beijing and she will never reach this level again.
