Huge sprinting talent Johannes Klaebo of Norway sets the fastest time in qualifying :bowdown:

 

Third place for Estonian Marko Kilp, who seems to be quite a weird kind of athlete. In his previous 15 attempts, he has qualified for the knock-out stage only once..and how, by finishing 3rd in the Liberec 2013 qualifying. And now all of a sudden he gets another 3rd place out of the complete blue :d

No final for Oestberg and Bjoergen, Nilsson beats Falla in the final :d

 

Now it's time for the men's final and I think we might just see the first World Cup victory of a new phenomenal cross-country skier..the way Klaebo has been flying up the hill before the last turn is amazing.

Alright, Klaebo was more or less empty, but he still fought his way to his first World Cup podium :)

 

Nice win for Golberg!

Great debut for Klaebo. :yes The inexperience cost him the win, but the future is very bright for him. Goldberg as a reserve getting the win shows once again how monstrous team Norge is. :)

Exactly that, I think he was a little too eager to dominate all the heats before the final :p

Nilsson and Golberg winners in Ruka season opener

Stina Nilsson SWE wins in Ruka

Stina Nilsson SWE wins in Ruka

 

Stina Nilsson of Sweden and Paal Golberg of Norway have won the opening competitions of the Viessmann FIS World Cup Cross-Country 2016-17 season in Ruka, Finland.  Snow fell throughout the competition creating challenging conditions for the athletes as they raced around the 1.4 km course.  As the heats progressed the final climb back to the stadium saw the competitors in the herringbone technique unable to stay in the tracks.  Both Nilsson and Golberg managed the climb each round and proved strongest on the final stretch to the finish.  

 

For Nilsson it was her first ever win in classic technique.  Just one year ago she took second place to Norway's Maiken Caspersen Falla but got her revenge today with Falla taking second place.  In third was Heidi Weng of Norway.  

 

On the men's side Paal Golberg of Norway who learned just 3 days ago that he would be traveling to Ruka took the first win of the season.

 

Golberg who trains outside the National Team was brought to Ruka in replacement for Petter Northug Jr in the sprint and recorded his 4th World Cup victory.  In second place from Sweden was Calle Halfvarsson grabbing his first ever World Cup podium in a classic sprint.  In third place another Norwegian reserve made good on his opportunity to start in Ruka.  Johannes Klaebo the young rising star on the team was announced Tuesday as the replacement for an ill Eirik Brandsdal, and captured his first ever World Cup podium.  

 

Competition resumes tomorrow with 10/15 km interval start competitions.

    • Thanks for reporting it! I have installed a new feature where the content of ignored users is "more" ignored than before, meaning it also does not appear in the post feed block. But something is wrong now and it "too" ignored, ignoring the whole threads where ignored users have posted Anyway no worries, no content has been deleted and hopefully it will be fixed soon.
    • @Sindo May apologies for using a wrong thread for it, but lots of threads give me this screen when I try to open them:     That is including the announcements thread and the problems/suggestions thread, where I originally wanted to post this of course, but yeah...the post thing is gone there     There seems to be some error with loading posts somehow. On the front page, this thread here for example is reported as having at least one post today, but the most recent one I see is from a week ago. Something going on?
    • Good morning everyone! Of course I would not let Brazil out of this fun tradition 🤪 so it is for sure a valid reason to find some extra time between trainings and work for.   Well, here is Brazil's choice for this years Contest. I hope that despite of giving it some points or not, you enjoy the message of the lyrics     Perfeitamente imperfeito (Hateen)   Coragem aos que tem valor Que nunca pensam em se entregar Coragem pra poder continuar E não existe nada que você Não seja forte o bastante pra vencer Por que você sabe que nunca está sozinho E eu também já vivi assim Perdido e procurando o fim Só pra fazer toda essa dor passar Mas na vida tudo o que aprendi É que a gente chora, mas também sorri E tudo sempre vai acabar bem Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seu temores, Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser E é assim que eu vou seguir, em frente Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender? E o seu ódio era o seu melhor amigo? Mas o tempo que você passou Gritando com o mundo inteiro ao seu redor Nunca te fez sentir um pouco melhor São coisas que a gente aprende com o tempo A dar valor a todos os momentos E da tristeza a gente faz sorrir Agora entendo e já parece tão certo Estou feliz e já me sinto completo Por que tenho a certeza De que não acabo aqui Basta acreditar Que todos os seus dias Vão melhorar com o tempo Que todos os seus temores Erros, faltas e defeitos Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito É assim que deve ser É assim que eu vou seguir Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Fazem de você perfeitamente imperfeito Se lembra quando você Não conseguia entender?
    • Hezbollah didn't kill any civilian while Satanyahu already killed 2000 Lebanese , so who is terrorist ya head of eggs ?    everything is reversed by western  Media , they make you beleive the opposit cause you are stupid 
    • Portugal   (WC title holder and European champions) lost 1-2 with   (4th in 2021; lost SF at penalties with Portugal)
    • You mean the rally when Rylov and Bolshunov were there, for example?
    • I don't think it's about the Crimea issue. It goes back to 2014, and then Russia started normally. At that time, the problem was organized doping. Another 3-4 years of a total ban for Russia and the sport there will completely collapse. Most of the current stars will either end their careers or go to other countries to compete (for now this think isn`t on a mass scale but I think that soon there will be a movement. For now, there is still waiting). 
    • The Italian finally got up and finished the race. Today, the first junior gold for Italy since Ulissi in 2006-2007. Mark Lorenzo Finn won. In recent years, we have had gold medals in the men's U23 category: Battistella in 2019 and Baroncini in 2021. So far, however, these competitors havn`t met expectations. In my opinion, if we don`t have at least 1 Italian group at the WT level, it will be difficult to reach the results beginning of the 21st century. In 2005, when the Pro Tour (now World Tour) was created, Italy had 4 groups in this series: Lampre, Liquigas, Domina Vacanze and Fassa Bortolo. And yet we had very strong groups before: Mapei, Saeco, Mercatone Uno etc. Now we don`t have one  
    • Guess I misinterpreted it, thanks
