Ustiugov unbeatable through 3 stages of Tour de Ski

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1QXDZ9XAAAgNNm.jpg

 

Sergey Ustiugov of Russia left little doubt in today's 20 km Skiathlon that he plans to keep the Tour de Ski leaders bib. Sitting back just outside the top 10 going into the final climb he made an aggressive move to get up into 3rd place by the top.  Coming out of the draft on the final downhill Ustiuigov sprinted his way to his third victory in the first three stages.  Despite taking an wrong turn early in the free technique portion Norway's Martin Johnsrud Sundby recovered to take second place on the day and hold his place in second in the overall standings.  Switzerland's Dario Cologna was back on the podium for the first time since the Tour was in Oberstdorf last season.  He took third today +1.0 behind Ustiugov and just +0.4 behind Sundby.  

 

Ustiugov now leads the Tour by 29.5 second over Sundby, up from 18.9 seconds after Val Müstair stage 2.  Canada's Alex Harvey had another strong day with a 5th place finish and remains in 3rd in the overall standings +1:09.3 back.  With his third place finish today Cologna moves up from 6th to 4th in the overall standings +1:25.4 behind.  Sweden's Marcus Hellner was a big mover today with a 5th place finish moving up from 9th to 5th in the overall heading into tomorrow's 15km Pursuit in free technique.  It will be interesting to see how tight the group is tomorrow following the pursuit event.

Nilsson skis to her strength and wins on homestretch

Siegerinnen Verfolgung

 

Stina Nilsson (SWE) began the stage 4 Pursuit with a slim lead over the Norwegian duo of Heidi Weng and Ingvild Flugstad Oestberg and they quickly became a group but in the end it was Nilsson back in the lead and still in the Tour leaders bib.  Despite some in race discussion about who should take the lead the trio still increased their lead over the rest of the field and all three recorded the top 3 times on the day.  Krista Parmakoski of Finland fought hard to close the gap to the leading three but was unable to and skied the entire race on her own.  Same for the USA's Jessie Diggins who remains in 5th despite recording only the 18th fastest time on the day.  Parmakoski was able to ski the 4th fastest time of the day but did lose some time in the overall and now sits back +42.4 back from Nilsson.  

 

With bonus seconds available in the finish Weng lost just over 2 seconds to Nilsson in the overall and is still second sitting +6.7 seconds back.  Oestberg managed to get a little bit of time back in the overall and is +11.8 second behind heading into stage 5 in Toblach, Italy.  Diggins lost almost over minute on today's stage in the standings but still sits safely in 5th place with tomorrow's rest day as the Tour moves to Italy.

Ustiugov sets Tour record with 4th consecutive win

  https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C1VAoETW8AEQMkQ.jpg

 

Russia's Sergey Ustiugov has set a Tour de Ski record for men with his 4th consecutive Tour stage victory.  He not only won the stage four 15 km Pursuit competition in free technique but increased his lead over Martin Johnsrud Sundy (NOR) now to 42.2 seconds heading into tomorrow's rest day.  Sundby stayed in second place today +37.2 behind Ustiugov's winning time.  Canada's Alex Harvey was caught early by Dario Cologna (SUI) and the two raced together for most of the competition.  Harvey who appeared to have faster skis used it to his advantage and overtook Cologna coming off the final downhill into the stadium to take 3rd place +1:08.8 on the day and remains third in the overall Tour standings.  Cologna sits just behind him in 4th place in the standings. 

 

Finland's Matti Heikkinen had the Fastest time of the Day again for the second time this season and moved up from 12th in the overall Tour standings after stage three to 5th now after four stages.  Six different nations are represented in the top 6 for the first time in many years with Sweden's Marcus Hellner sitting in 6th place.  

 

The Tour will take a rest day now as the focus shifts to Toblach, Italy for stage 5 of the Tour.

Ustiugov 5/5 :yikes: this time only by 0.4. Also Great race from Maurice Manificat today, so close to win. btw for Ustiugov it´s first ever World Cup win if we count only the interval starts events. In other side very very bad day for Sundby and disastrous day for Harvey.

 

edit it´s already 1:34 the margin between Ustiugov and Sundby after todays stage, I think any drama or exciting finish is over :d

    • RETURN BACK LOST LOVER BACK SPELLS +27635475159  BREAK-UP SPELLS, BIND US LOVE SPELLS, ONLINE LOVE SPELLS CASTER, MARRIAGE SPELLS, DIVORCE SPELLS,  My Return Lost Lover spell works with manipulation but without false emotion, so you have no concern that your returned lover will slowly or suddenly want to leave again. All emotions resulting in their return are genuine and based on the feelings you once had for each other in times that were free from the problems which eventually arose. The magic my Return Lost Lover spell evokes simply triggers these genuine memories of times past and allows disagreements and perceived incompatibilities to be seen as mere temporary problems that should have been weathered rather than forcing a retreat. It allows your lover to view you as a person, rather than judge irrelevant circumstances which marred the relationship and give them the opportunity to see that, even at the time, they could have taken an alternative path which would have led to bonds being made stronger rather than broken. Your broken heart will be mended as their love envelops you once again, and all emotional wounds will be healed. The constant ache in your body that cries out for their return will be silenced. All scars and bitterness will be healed as this spell works its magic to repair the broken relationship. When choosing the Return Lost Lover spell think critically about the one who is gone. If you are certain they are the right person for you, that your passions were not colored by rose-tinted spectacles, and it truly was circumstance rather than incompatibility which caused the original split, then use it with joy in your heart and know that this magic will restore your love enabling you to start anew. *Making Up Spells This spell will make things smooth and help you work it out. If you’ve had an argument with someone, or you’re just not getting along very well with them and you’d like favorable circumstances in which to makeup, this might be just another spell that may help you! After casting this spell the first thing most people notice is numerous “coincidences” that help things smooth and create just the right atmosphere to make up. It helps to make both of you more willing to listen and talk things through and work things out in a constructive way! *Breaking Up With You This spell creates the best circumstances for you to break up with someone! If you really want to break up with someone, but you’re not quite sure what to say or how to go about doing it, this might be just the spell you’re looking for! This spell has a great way of creating the best circumstances for breaking up with someone under the best conditions. After casting this spell, the first thing most people notice a lot of little “coincidences” that create just the right conditions to make your break up as easy as possible!

    • In the worst case scenario for us, the conditions will be equal for everyone - something like in Beijing 2022. If the competition were held in Igls, Austria would have a huge advantage.
    • Yeah, but what I mean is: the sliding sports are by far the best sports for a home nation to vastly improve their medal chances, so make sure that track is done before anything else, because that will actually improve the medal chances..
    • yeah, to me was the biggest surprise of the 5. Maybe because of Borat movies, I was expecting something different, ended up going from "why would you go to Kazakhstan?" to "why didn't you go there sooner?" very quick. Most underrated country i've ever visited 
    • The track in Cortina has a future but it needs to be used well: apply for a place in the World Cup calendar, to organize World Championships, etc. Encourage other countries to train there. Maybe open the track to tourists for recreational ride during some time: some tracks in Germany do this or La Plagne in France. Cortina has a good location: it`s a well-known resort with a large accommodation and restaurant base. Cesana was a much worse place - the venue for the 2006 Olympic Games in luge and bob sports. There was no infrastructure around there + the area had no tradition in these sports.
