All the contenders qualified for QFs of today's sprint. Good time for Nepryaeva, guess not ill anymore.

 

Only overall seems interesting though, sprints are done, I don't think even theoretically Falla has any chance anymore. Nilsson finished second in qualifying, so even if she falls for example in QF, should have enough points even if Falla wins eventually. I think so at least, slightly confusing how final positions are in sprint.

Patrick from Eurosport is in belief that winners get 100 points for win here, I'm afraid not, just 50.

Who on earth thought it'd be cool to have a World Cup season and then have half points for the World Cup finals? :lol:

actually the world cup finals (all 3 races together) give double the points of a normal race (like a small tour-de-ski)...

it's the single stages that give only half the points of a normal race...each (like it happens in the tour-de-ski)...

 

p.s. still...a professional sports journalist not knowing that...:facepalm::redcard:

Oh right, stage races. They should keep that with the Tour de Ski.
