Cross-Country Skiing at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022

It is 6km for each skier. It’s still sprint since they go 1-2km each lap. Do you really think Johaug, Karlsson ect can act as it is distance race? 

 

So Karlsson should be in the team ahead of Sundling, Dahlqvist or even Ribom? Are you serious? 

Yes. A distance skiier only has to take the pace high over the loops, that the sprinters get in trouble in the third loop. 3x4.5km x 2 is the program for the Team Sprint for each athlete with Semis and Final. 
In 2018 also Sundby was in the Norwegian team and he is definitely not a sprinter. Likewise the French, Manificat.

We will see on Tuesday, but I’m pretty sure many teams will have at least one distance skiier in their team.

The distance relay is only 5km so not a big differ3ence really. however Sundling will be a safe option for both the team sprint and relay (1st or 4th leg). Karlsson would be great to but Dahlqvist is 100% in team sprints and Karlsson might get us disqualified so I would not choose her anyway:d

Where do you get that info from? 

 

My scource says the team sprint loop is 1,5km.

Still big difference between a loop on 5km and 1,5km.

Loop: 1.5km, three time in the semis and three time in the final: 3x2x1.5km = 9km

Ah I get it now. But still can’t be compared to long distance. The loop is still 1,5. Can Johaug who compete in 5 km or more handle it? Still it’s not the same as go for 5km.

@Fly_like_a_don @JonPhi

 

I’m talking about Women’s TEAM SPRINT.  Are Norway, Russia and Finland better than Sweden and USA? I don’t think so. At least they haven’t show that yet. :mumble:

I didn't say Finland is better than sweden but Sweden v Finland for gold in women's team sprint classical then maybe Russia, Norway, US. 

 

And why they didn't come today perhaps saving energy for a event they are one of the favourites for on Thursday

    • Last night, I had the privilege to see my first live curling matches.  The USA National Championships were just 1.5 hours away from where I live (not bad in a country the size of ours).  I got to visit the 'page final' (i.e. first playoff round), the highlight of which for me was Team Shuster vs. Team Stopera.  Team Stopera ended up winning by 1 point, but Shuster will be able to play one final match this morning to see if they can make it to the finals this afternoon (the winner of which will qualify to Worlds).  None of the current Olympians were there, having declined their spot in the tournament.   Got some free swag     These people would yell 'Peel! Peel! Peel' whever someone would peel a stone.   Got to see the measuring instrument in action.   And yes, Matt Hamilton and Colin Hufman had sleeveless jerseys on.
