How can swimming have four different styles while XC skiing can't even have two for the interval starts at least... They rotate the 15 and 50 with the styles. One is free and the other is classic. He will have his chance, but on the longer distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athletes should have one chance in four years for their event, not 8 years like XC skiing. Edited March 1, 2017 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be awesome if Brazil could have one in 2019 as far as I know, there no special requirements for the relays in cross-country skiing at WCH and WOG. only the age limit, the youngest allowed skier can not be younger than 16 years. so in fact every country which has qualified at least 4 skiers for the WCh or WOG is free to enter a relay. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, so I hope Mourão and Picin continue after 2017/18 for at least one more season and Gabi can make the switch from biathlon to XC together with Bruna in the post-Olympic season aaaaand we have a relay 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!

dcro 10,189 Posted March 2, 2017 #430 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) It's World Championships and only 16 relays are competing. It's interesting how the number of relays in XC is always way below what biathlon has (even at World Cups...).
