Cross-Country Skiing at the Winter Olympic Games 2018

I don't care much about Norway specifically, but I do like this for Jacobsen, to see that her total and complete offday didn't cost them the gold

At least Bjoergen is retiring soon and CC skiing will be better again.

This statement would have worked in almost any of the last 10 years or something, but not now that she's not far and away the world's best anymore

Also, all my money is gone thanks to this race now (thank you Caldwell for a horrible first 5k, thank you Switzerland for giving it away in the last meters against Gemany, thank you Nilsson for not being able to sprint suddenly). So, as Ygritte would put it, I know nothing

The Evil Empire wins again - even with only three athletes performing.

 

Weng and Oestberg are trying very hard who's the biggest Norwegian flop during these Games.

Damn it. Stina looked so strong on that last hill, but didn't quite have enough over the top. Well raced by Marit, who showed that she isn't quite done yet.

But without a doubt one of the more interesting relays, where both Sweden and Norway had a bad part (Swedes will without doubt start asking how it would have ended, had Falk started instead of Haag).

But Kalla did once again show that she is in fantastic shape and she should be among the favorites in both the team sprint (with Stina) and the 30k.
