So this is basically a training for Germans. The only difference being is that for this training run they get a gold medal.

I have a feeling Lahti is going to explode if Manninen manages to take bronze here  

 

Although he doesn't because right when I write this, Gerstgraser throws on the turbo

I'm afraid this has another "Hannu Manninen near miss" written all over it.

What?  It's deserved after 15 years of being in the top of the world  

 

Losing it today wouldn't have been the most strange thing ever in the history of sports

I think it's possible that you care more about that gold than Kircheisen himself.

Would someone who doesn't care so much about something get all teary in the interview when asked about it and saying that he has fought so hard for 15 years for this?

Winter sport as a whole. Can't believe GB aims for a top 5 performance until 2030.

That investment had better been used for archery, fencing, badminton etc...
