So, yeah, someone seriously messed up the course measurement here.

Or the snow is that heavy in today's conditions and they need to plow through

The winning time will be some 15 minutes slower than the first ever classic+free relay (Calgary 1988)! It will be 30 minutes slower than Pyeongchang/Sochi.

EDIT: Heck. This will likely be slower than the 4x10 classic relay from Sarajevo.

To be fair, they're only 3 minutes or so slower than the same distance in the 15k earlier this week, while conditions are way, way harder and slower now. It's not that bad

But eg. Hyvarinen was 7th in skiathlon and 6th at 15km and today much slower than Pralong or Notz.

Another brilliant relay from Russia  They are starting their push for the third place in the table, but will need some wins in biathlon.

 

Norway losing both relays will bring questions back home, and while the women's one was to be expected, today's blowout won't be received well.
