Bjoergen wins 6th Holmenkollen & Finn's go 2-3

2Q==

 

After the starters gun sounded, Marit Bjoergen of Norway left little doubt as to who would win the ladies’ 2017 Holmenkollen 30 km classic mass start competition.

 

Bjoergen was up by over 20 seconds by the 5 km mark of the competition and never looked back winning by +2:05.8 ahead of Finland’s Krista Parmakoski in second and in third another Finn Kerttu Niskanen +2:07 behind. It marks the first time that two female athletes from Finland have shared a World Cup podium since 2009.

 

Parmakoski and Niskanen came to the finish with the main chasing group behind Bjoergen which also contained Overall World Cup leader Heidi Weng (NOR) in 4th, Charlotte Kalla (SWE) in 5th, Justyna Kowalczyk (POL) 6th and Aino-Kaisa Saarinen (FIN) in 7th.

Nilsson and Harvey win final sprints of the season

2000x2000Group17317fm0137.jpg

 

 

Stina Nilsson of Sweden and Canada's Alex Harvey won the final sprint competition of the season as part of the first day of the World Cup finals in Quebec City, Canada.   Nilsson continued her season long battle with Norway's Maiken Caspersen Falla.  The two athletes were clear again of the field and this time by 2.58 seconds ahead of third place finisher Hanna Falk of Sweden.  

 

As a consolation for the second place finish by Falla, she had earlier in the sprint heats clinched her second consecutive overall World Cup sprint crystal globe.  Nilsson took second in the overall sprint standings followed by her teammate Falk. 

 

On the men's side Harvey won his first World Cup on home soil much to the excitement of the home crowd.  Harvey was followed to the finish line by Norway's Finn Haagen Krogh +0.31 behind.  France's Richard Jouve took third +0.94 for his second sprint podium in Canada in the last two seasons. 

 

The battle for the men's sprint globe was decided in the mens' semi final when both Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo of Norway and Italy's Federico Pellegrino didn't advance to the final.  Pellegrino needed 38 points to overtake Klaebo and only managed to pull by 6 points making Klaebo the youngest ever sprint crystal globe winner.  Pellegrino took second in the sprint overall and Norway's Sindre Bjoernestad Skar took third in the overall standings.  The top 5 men were all separated by just 77 points.  

 

Competitions continue tomorrow with the 10/15 km mass start classic competitions.  During today's sprint competition Norway's Heidi Weng won her first ever Overall World Cup crystal globe.

Klaebo gets first distance World Cup win

9k=

 

Just one day removed from becoming the youngest ever winner of the sprint crystal globe, Norway's Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo has won his first ever World Cup distance competition.  Klaebo won the second stage of the World Cup finals in Quebec City, Canada in the 15 km mass start competition.  He over took his teammate Niklas Dyrhaug on the homestretch for the win by 0.5 seconds.  Russia's Alexander Bessmertnykh took third just 0.8 behind Klaebo.  It was a high pace that stretched the field out early but leading group of approximately 20 athletes broke away and finished all within 15 seconds of the winning time by Klaebo.

 

Klaebo now leads the mini tour standings after two stages by 22.8 seconds ahead of Dyrhaug.  Local favourite Alex Harvey of Canada sits third in the standings and will start the pursuit just 0.5 seconds behind Dyrhaug.  The final stage will be a free technique 15 km pursuit start competition to end the 2017 FIS Cross-Country World Cup season.

    • Seriously wish Bialystok will be banned from any European competition and for long time.
    • Unexpected boost for Team    American rapper Snoop Dogg has been named an 'honorary coach' for Team USA at next year's Winter Olympics.   The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC) announced on Thursday the 54-year-old will take on "a volunteer role celebrating and supporting America's athletes off the field of play".   Snoop Dogg named 'honorary coach' for Team US at Winter Olympics - BBC Sport
    • Just now getting around to these results...glad to see USA win a gold.  Didn't think we were much of a contender here.  Home soil luck?
    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
