Men's 50k has been moved up an hour to 08:00 CET/15:00 LOC.

 

It has also been shortened....it's now a 30k

Can't wait for the women's 30km to be shortened to 15km tomorrow.

Jessie Diggins might even have an outside shot.

If it'd go to a 15k mass start, she's one of the main favourites  Even with a 30k mass start she has more than an outside shot already.

Absolutely pathetic! We just couldn't have a normal finish... Everything went well and on the last day they come up with this BS..

I was so looking forward to 50 km race in crazy conditions...

Why was 50k shortened and delayed? Wind has big effect in biathlon, but not in cross country skiing 

[heywoodu 15,141]

It's easy to be angry about it, but if it's -15 with the winds we've seen in the area today, this is really not a bad decision. An unfortunate one and I'm sad it had to be taken, but sadly a necessary one.

The conditions must be beyond terrible, they wouldn't shorten the distance if they had any other choice.
