We never know it :p but I see Ustiugov a little tired compared to Sundby 

Always impossible to predict what would have happened of course, you're right, but Ustiugov does have a scorching sprint in his legs :p

Norway's Marit Bjoergen has skied her way into the history books yet again.  This time winning her 15th World Championship gold medal.  Entering the 2017 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships Bjoergen was tied with Russia's Elena Valbe at 14 but with her victory today in the ladies' 15km Skiathlon she stands alone atop this category.  

 

Finland's Krista Parmakoski kept it very exciting today changing the lead back and forth as she and Bjoergen broke away from everyone on the free technique part of the Skiathlon.  At one point Parmakoski put on a short burst to test Bjoergen's legs much to the excitement of the sell out crowd in Lahti stadium.  But in the end Bjoergen proved too strong with her own attack on the final climb and she skied to gold with a 4.8 second lead over Parmakoski who took the silver.  

 

Sweden's Charlotte Kalla took the bronze medal position +32.0 seconds back.  Midway through the classic portion of the Skiathlon it was down to 4 athletes battling for 3 podium positions.  The switch to free technique proved to be a turning point with Bjoergen and Parmakoski breaking away and Kalla eventually dropping Norway's Heidi Weng.  

 

Weng lost over minute to Bjoergen in the final 7.5 km of the competition and was caught by Switzerland's Natalie Von Siebenthal for fourth place by just 0.1 ahead of Weng.  Fourth to seventh was separated by just 0.7 seconds with 8 nations represented in the top 11 positions.  It was a very exciting ladies' competition.

Russia's Sergey Ustiugov after just missing out in the sprint two days ago got his gold medal today in the men's 30 km Skiathlon at the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti, Finland. Around the 20 km mark of the competition it became a two man race between Ustiugov and Norway's Martin Johnsrud Sundby and they traded the lead back and forth until the final lap when the gamesmanship began with neither really wanting to take the lead.

 

On the final climb the two leaders went for it full speed and neither was giving an inch until Sundby missed a pole plant and stumbled ultimately breaking his pole and the gold was Ustiugov's. Sundby was in tough anyways to beat Ustiugov in the final kilometer with Ustiugov's World class sprint speed. In the bronze medal position was Norway's Finn Haagen Krogh. The 4th place finisher from the sprint two todays before he made sure to get the final spot on the podium today. He led into the final curve and left little doubt who would take the bronze. Krogh finished +31.8 seconds back of Ustiugov's winning time of 1:09:16.7. Sundby crossed the line +6.7 behind.

 

Similar to the ladies' competition positions 4th to 7th were separated by less than one second and there were 10 nations represented in the top 15 spots.

Tomorrows Mens Team Sprint Classical Start List

Colombia :d 

 

Still unbelievable that the Brazilian federation chose not to let their women compete in the teamsprint. They could easily have let Bruna stay a couple of days (she arrived back home in Brazil yesterday morning) so she could compete with Mourão here.

    • I think the biggest problem for Australian football is how big the roster size is.   Rugby League Nines might be a more realistic "out there" selection.
    • If lacrosse can be selected then I don't see why Australian rules football can't be selected if they get Olympic sport recognition. Australia will obviously dominate, but there's enough other nations to make a tournament.   As for netball, a women's only event is still much more likely to be accepted than a men's only event. Australia and the netball federation can spin it as bringing equality to the number of men's and women's events (while obviously ignoring that there will be more women at the Olympics).
    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)
