Cross-Country Skiing at the Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022


Recommended Posts

Easily the most surprising medal for Germany. Huge respect for the german coach. He knew that their only medal chances would be the relays and they probably focused on those events in training. Too bad that the women's 30 km race will be in freestyle, otherwise Hennig might have won another medal.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Yay, we get the much-desired Top 20 result. :cheer: Best ever in cross-country. Also our first participation in any team event at the Winter Olympics since Torino.

 

Very pleased for Maeki. Perfect strategy with Niskanen pushing the pace and Joni saving his effort for the key leg.

Really happy for the German gold, always have rooted for their skiers, glad to see this resurrection from them.

Hopefully it’s good for the sport. Public Interest definitely dropped away Europe-wide this last decade.

The only previous team participation from Torino was in the men's team sprint, when the guys placed 22nd in the final analysis (24 teams were entered).

 

Interestingly, :BLR Belarus did not start that day too. Are they boycotting WOG team events with Croatia? :lol:

Despite public catfighting with Monika Skinder, Izabela Marcisz has agreed to take part in the Team Sprint. How generous! :rolleyes:

Tajner - the boss of Polish Ski Federation - had talked to Marcisz 40 minutes long and conviced her to start. Knowing how authoritarian Polish Federations are, I do not want to know any details of it. :sick:

 

9th place so close to TOP8, but probably no extra money for them.

Frida Karlsson is not selected to go the 30km. Instead the swedish four will be Andersson, Kalla, Ribom and it will be interesting to see Sundling in a distance race!

Nilsson won bronze 2018 over 30K, so it is a possibility

Pretty crazy that the 3 same nations won the medals in all women's biathlon/cross-country team events and that Norway wasn't one of those nations:

Cross-country skiing relay: Russia - Germany - Sweden

Cross-country skiing team sprint: Germany - Sweden - Russia

Biathlon relay: Sweden - Russia - Germany

 

All those nations have the exact same medal tally. Who would have thought that Germany would win 3 more medals than Norway in those events?

 

Edit: Also pretty surprising that 3 female cross-country skiers (Sundling, Dahlqvist, Nepryayeva) will end the games with at least as many medals as Johaug. If Johaug doesn't win a medal in her last race (unlikely), she will end the olympics with the same number of medals as Victoria Carl and Katharina Hennig.

    • whatever you heard is just speculation. no one knows at the moment, probably even the orange himself.   and Iranian athletes failed to get visa so many times before. even female athletes. there is no pattern, it's just too random.    and yes Iran has a system of compulsory military service for men, and there is 50% chance for anybody to be randomly drafted by IRGC affiliated organizations. that's the case for Taremi and few others in the current team.  
    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
