Niskanen thrills home crowd with Ruka win

Iivo Niskanen FIN

 

Finland's Iivo Niskanen has recorded his second career World Cup victory on the same trails he won his first World Cup two seasons ago.

 

Niskanen completed the 15 km classic course in a time of 35:27.6, which was good enough for a winning margin of 10.2 seconds ahead of Norway's Emil Iversen.  In third, also from Norway was Martin Johnsrud Sundby +11.2 seconds behind.  With his third place result today, Sundby joins Axel Teichmann and Lukas Bauer as the only athletes with three podium finishes in this event in Ruka.

 

 It was a tight day of racing with just 33 seconds separating the top 10 athletes, who represented 5 different countries.

Johaug's ban came and it is 14 months, more than i expected.

 

That's what the Norwegian anti-doping is going for, isn't it? The sports authorities still have to decide.

Weng and Halfvarsson win Lillehammer sprints

Heidi Weng NOR

Heidi Weng

 

 

Heidi Weng of Norway and Calle Halfvarsson of Sweden have won the classic sprint competition on stage one of the Lillehammer mini-tour.

 

Both athletes will have the overall World Cup leaders yellow bib heading into tomorrow's 5/10 km free technique competitions.

 

Halfvarsson arrived in Lillehammer already with the yellow and Weng earned it with her win today after two 3rd place finishes in Ruka.  For Weng it was her first ever World Cup victory in a sprint competition after recording 10 sprint podiums in previous World Cups.  In second place for the second weekend in a row from Norway's Maiken Caspersen Falla +0.48 behind.  Falla has not finished worse than second place in the last 6 World Cup classic sprints.  Hanna Falk of Sweden took third place +1.06 off the lead for her first podium since Jan 2011 in Liberec, CZE where she placed second in the free technique sprint.  

 

In the men's 1.6 km classic sprint Halfvarsson increased his overall World Cup lead with his victory today.  It was only his second ever career individual World Cup win.  His last came in 2013 in the free technique sprint in the Tour de Ski in Oberhof, Germany.  Halfvarsson after three World Cup competitions leads the World Cup standings by 26 points over Finland's Iivo Niskanen who was 4th place in today's sprint, a career best sprint result for him.  In second place was Norway's Emil Iversen who literally finished on the the tails of Halfvarsson skis just +0.12 behind.  Teodor Peterson of Sweden took third +0.54 back for his first podium since Falun 2014 during World Cup finals mini tour.

    • It’s honestly baffling how bad she was in 2018. Just absolutely lost her head. Real shame too because she is so gifted. I do hope Li Jianrou sends her a Christmas card every year tho, she was absolutely gifted a gold medal by Christie in 2014.
    • Oh I’m not done yet, unfortunately. From the names that could be back but are still injured   Courtney Hoffos Mikael Kingsbury (should be back before the Olympics) Connor Howe (he returned, but nowhere close to his best so his injury is still giving him issues) Connor Bedard Meryeta O’Dine Megan Oldham
    • Italy also has its own list, although of course not every injury is as terribile  in terms of medal losses. In winter sports have unfortunately much more injuries than summer sports. In the summer only: cycling, volleyball and football.     - Brignone: will return in January, - Tabanelli: will return for the Olympics, - Bassino: season over, - Marta Rossetti: season over, - Lara Malsinier: season over.
    • TNT staff expect they will offer it at a price similar to what they offering the Winter Olympics for rather than the full TNT price.   But equally the main coverage is apparently going to be very different to what they do for the Olympics (Which is less pundits and studio chat than the BBC) with speculation it might be based on NBC’s Olympic coverage with tons of human interest etc.     
    • India Sherret (ski cross)   Another name to the ever-growing list of injuries for the Canadian team… used to be excited for the Olympics, now not so much…
    • Voted  Thank you for extending the deadline and allowing me to vote once my exams are over. @OlympicIRL
