Nope. you're wrong. It's a protest against the closing a hospital, I guess. (It's say "forbidden to be born")

Oh  I read 'Forbidden to be born' as some abortion thing, that made more sense than a hospital  

 

Oh well, it's annoying live timing isn't working, I want to know who's in the lead group apart from the 3-4 names I've seen so far..

Ilya Chernousov wins a fantastic sprint against Berdal 

 

4th for Gjerdalen who had to let go in the final meters, so no 4th consecutive win for him

Chernousov should have changed his citizenship to Swiss, I don't get he didn't do it yet...

probably he couldn't match the very strict rules they have (among other requirements, you have to sustain an examination about Swiss history and geography to get the Swiss citizenship)...

not yet, at least (you can try more than once, of course)...

Not entirely hard to understand though.

Bottom line is that he could have raced in Bogota too.. 

 

It's just a fact of life that some competitions are easier to qualify than others, not just in XC skiing.

Absolutely. Plus maybe a case of not having the right friends.
