If I'm not mistaken there's some sort of bonus for the athlete who gets the most points (not sure if that's in one race or throughout the season though). 

Think my commentator said they count for overall sprint leaderboard.

They go for the overall distance leaderboard in fact.

Pretty sure that the bonus is Audi Quattro - hence the name "Audi Quattro Bonus Sprint".

Exactly  

 

I knew it was something with Audi but was too lazy to confirm my suspicions it was a Quattro

At least it was more exciting than Johaug winning by 5 minutes or something...

[Shiffrin 33]

Hmm totally normal for such an old skier to have such stamina and speed. She must be completely clean.

Smashing race. As in many other sports, love these *come from behind* wins.

I have no idea how can anyone get excited with Bjoergen wins anymore... I'm only waiting for her to finally retire...

Stamina is actually more normal for older athletes than for young athletes

Although I thought that was exciting in some way too. I mean, I don't care for wins with 1 minute margin, but when it's going to ridiculously big margins (Johaug, or Bjoergen at the Olympics), that's sort of fun too beucase it's just so....Johann Mühlegg-like
