The biggest drama during this race was Johaug trying and failing to wave the :NOR flag.

That was a foolish move in retrospect; could easily have become No 1 in the “Most spectacular Olympic Failures” highlights reel.

52nd place for Malec is her best ever at the Olympics. Beating a couple of 53rd places. :hatoff:

 

Meanwhile, one of the greatest mysteries of the whole qualification process is how Kusmuk managed to get under 100 FIS points (to be allowed to start today)??

Kusmuk got those points in Serbia, Macedonia and Bosnia. We know about the Serbian races, I would be rather....unsurprised if the same goes for the races in the other countries there :p

Hey, if she wanted a place in one of the hardest races in history she’s welcome to it!

Remi Lindholm of Finland finished the 28.4k yesterday with a frozen penis. Yikes. Luckily the feeling came back after treatment with warm towels and such.

 

Spoiler

Same thing happened to him in the Ruka World Cup, he might want to look for a different brand of clothes.

    • hey Vini! That's sad to hear. I think I am still in the post-Olympics hangover, but i will send my votes in a bit!
    • Amazing Test match between India and Australia, perhaps the best match of the format I have ever seen. Just wow. If I had to bet anything, right now I would bet Australia but it's totally open

    • Because of the low number of votes some categories may be cancelled (under the rule that at least two people should vote for a nominee). I may give a few more days for voting but I guess there's just no interest this year 
    • In Italy in recent years there is simply been a problem with training new talents and looking at Colturi, the problem probably isn`t a lack of talented youngsters but poor training. Colturi and Collomb were at similar level a few years ago but where are they now? And this is the same year of born - 2006. Since Goggia and Brignone young time we haven`t trained a single champion. It`s the same with men. Vinatzer is wasting away and regressing in development, the same with della Vite in the giant slalom. The problem is it the outdated system which proved effective at the beginning of the 21st century but not now This also applies to other winter disciplines with a few exceptions.
