Tomorrows Womens 4x5km Relay Start List

 

I'm going to take some risk and say that Norway might very well win this :p 

 

By the way, are there special requirements to have a relay team? It'd be awesome if Brazil could have one in 2019 :d

Too bad that this win means nothing for 2018 Olympics as the 15km will be in free where Niskanen is not so good...

 

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.

Well, yeah, but that's ridiculous. Especially for a blue ribbon event such as interval starts (and where the technique is most important).

 

Athletes should have one chance in four years for their event, not 8 years like XC skiing.

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.

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 :d

sounds great :d btw if they will not find a 4th for the team, maybe the 3 remaining can ask for slovak citizenship and we will have a relay too :d

Or Alena asks for Brazilian citizenship :p 

 

The only country they would ever switch to if they have to choose one is Sweden :d

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...).

      if they will bring him back to the NT (this is the question, not if he comes back or not), surely it will be in the 86kg class   Moldova's case doesn't have any chance, it will be dismissed CAS can't overturn any result on the pitch, unless cheating (doping or blatant corruption) is proven

      ""The most important thing, in my opinion, is mental preparation" - Maria Vynnyk said this on Thursday after winning the first major gold medal; maybe this is where the secret lies. As you said, Ukrainian girls have always been strong, but not dominant at continental level; my conjecture is that the Russian invasion has made them mentally stronger, giving them that extra edge needed to tilt the balance in the final stages of a competition.
