It's weird because they change the rules TOP10 from 10th to 1st and than 11th to 30th... 11th to 30th normal, but giving the winner the chance to really make a choice instead of just picking a random empty one? Would be fair to the winner..

justony 444 Posted February 8, 2022 #403 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Janez Lampič was slower than best women. His sister Anamarija chose the right group, she can advance by time in semifinal, after that all is possible. So sad for Eva Urevc, but she is closed most of the time in her room, it will be really hard for our girls in Team Sprint. Others performed as expected, although I was hoping for at least Šimenc in top 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,562 Posted February 8, 2022 #406 Share Posted February 8, 2022 And any word on Bolshunov doing the other races or not? He withdrew from the sprint because of all the doping questions (ugh), but one can imagine he's not suddenly not angry about that anymore in a few days..

He withdrew because he can't win the gold medal here. He want to conserve energy for other races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,167 Posted February 8, 2022 #408 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Cross country sprint heat selection gives me some serious StarCraft nostalgia. In big leagues they usually got players to select their own groups (basically you had one seeded player per group, they each picked one player to be in their group, then these players picked one player, and so on until all groups were full). They always made a big show of it with trashtalking and whatnot. Some leagues had elaborate entrances for the players too. Kind of wild seeing a "real" sport come up with a similar group selection format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quaker2001 246 Posted February 8, 2022 #410 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Great job by Rosie to climb back up into the race. She might pay for that later on, but she's on to the semis Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
