Cross-Country Skiing 2021 - 2022 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Impressive race for Jaque so far, a minute ahead of Mika after one lap, with Bruna a few seconds behind. Nothing to panic about yet, the plan was to have the focus of the race in the second half and especially the last lap, so as long as she stays in touch with Mika's times, it should be going fine.

And that's a DNF for Bruna, sadly. She was overtaken in a downhill by someone (we believe Keidy Kaasiku of Estonia) who then immediately pulled up straight in front of her and braked before a turn for which Bruna wasn't going to brake. The result was sudden evasive action...and quite a fall, just nothing to do about it when someone makes a move like that. Hurt knee afterwards, so there was no point in going on for more than half of the race just to lose more time and potentially damage the knee.

 

Excellent result for Jaque meanwhile, with a good result for Mika as well.

Oh no :( Will she be in the mass start December 5th?

No, but that was already planned. There is no reason whatsoever to start there, since it won't count for the Olympic ranking anyway and it's basically just a waste of energy :p 

 

She'll be in tomorrow's sprint qualifying though, so...new day, new chances!

That could make today's situation a bit of a big deal. There is a classic distance race in Austria on the 18th, the week after they're already in Austria anyway, so that would be perfect, but it's the Brazilian federation....even with this being a potentially crucial race, they might just as easily say "Ah alright, we'll go to our Christmas location earlier then :)" instead of race.

Yeah, I was about to post it as well. They answered the mail with general official statement

 

Vážení športoví priatelia, organizačný výbor Tatranského pohára v behu na lyžiach (FIS Slavic Cup) rozhodol, že preteky sa v termíne 18.-19. decembra 2021 neuskutočnia. Aj napriek vynaloženému úsiliu a dobrej predpovedi počasia v súčasnosti pre zvýšené riziko prenosu ochorenia COVID-19 a s tým súvisiace opatrenia nie je možné usporiadať medzinárodné preteky v behu na lyžiach. Hneď ako sa riziká znížia a platná legislatíva umožní organizáciu pretekov, budeme Vás informovať o náhradnom termíne. S pozdravom, ŠK Štrba

 

Dear sports friends, the organizing committee of the Tatras Cup in cross-country skiing (FIS Slavic Cup) has decided that the races will not take place in the originally scheduled period 18-19. December 2021. Despite all the efforts made by the organizers and the good weather forecast for that period, due to the increased risk of transmitting COVID-19 and related current measures in the country, it is not possible to organize international cross-country skiing competition. As soon as the risks will be reduced and the applicable legislation will allows the organization of the race, we will inform you about the alternative date for the competitions. Sincerely, ŠK Štrba Club.

 

 

Really sad about this :(

Excellent result for @brunamoura in today's sprint in Seefeld :cheer: 

 

Only 7 seconds behind Jaque. Which seems more than last week...but last week Jaque fell, today she didn't :p 9 seconds ahead of Mika and 12 ahead of Duda, and a personal sprint best (on European snow) of 261 FIS points :cheer: 

 

This was a very useful step on the way to the Olympics, tomorrow is arguably even more important when it's time for the 5k classic. Which we can see :d 

 

She starts at 13:37

Start lists for the classic distance races in St Ulrich today:

@brunamoura's goal today is damage control considering she's been sick, so let's see how it goes on a pretty hard 5k lap there.

Caught up with Mika before the first split (2.3km) and after one lap she is still roughly 40 seconds ahead of her (meaning around 10 seconds in front of Mika on the track). Just keeping this up or even losing a bit would be perfectly fine.

    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
    • You prefer matches in USA , look at that ...    Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan to enter    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/10/tourists-social-media-trump
    • I would say - he did not share some part of "the profit" with someone from above )
    • Yeah, a complete failure all around. Only two individual quotas for men and two for women + mixed relay. Cortina looks like a big fat zero in the medal table tbh.
    • But yeah, as you said, their intention (if I have to guess) probably is to prevent Pan America from having 3 teams without going through the world oqt.  They were generous with the world cup qualification because it's in europe and with 16 teams but they won't be as much with their prime event.   Anyway, this doc is terribly written and could bring problems without an update.
    • IDK this seems like a big mistake on their part. They should have excluded Pan America from the first clause.    And also shoulda clarify if "highest placed" in the second statement means only champion or "highest placed not counting possible pro league qualified teams".     
    • Thank god that Continental Cup is gone, it was impossible to find results in early rounds
    • From my experience it is better to go by what they intended rather than what was written. The point being is that should the United States be in a position to take the Pan American quota, the quota will be reallocated to the world qualifiers.   It can be a bit frustrating, but these documents aren't exactly written to define what happens in every scenario, even though they should. If someone from the IOC/sport federations are here, I'd love to proof read your documents . 
    • Team Casper is headed to Milan-Cortina!!   Lots of misses by China throughout the match, some of which were just bad luck.  Thrilled for Danny and company.  Glad they don't have to play another game
