She couldn't outsprint the top athletes, the only way she could win would be to start strong and hope the pack ignores her until it was too late. At worst you'll get fourth with that strategy.

For a lot of athletes top-8 can be career-saving

 

 

Yeah, I guess she will get one of those Olympic scolarships.

Don't wanna imagine what would happen if Stefan gets his Due medal.

To be fair, Bruna gets that too and her best result is top-90 in the IBU Cup or under 150 FIS points  

 

I think Alusalu would get that one anyway.

And if he doesn't win, then I guess he could ask his local Schmidt to forge him a medal.

Wow, only have two athletes in the final. Something to be proud of!
