Monzanator 3,569 Posted December 7, 2019 #61 Share Posted December 7, 2019 I've basically stopped watching cross country events two years ago. I have zero interest in watching the Norwegian national champs week in & week out heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,113 Posted December 7, 2019 #62 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Skiathlon should be in more events during the season. At least 3-4 for me, we don't need a sprint and 15k in every round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then watch the bitching about the classic speciallists being screwed due to the course being too easy. Just too much trouble for the organizers while at the end of the day those poor sick Norwegians will still dominate. Why bother? Bolshunov represents the wrong country for anyone to get excited about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not among a majority of people - it doesn't help that a majority of people is so nation-focussed instead of athlete-focussed.

Yeah, you probably missed the anti-Russian hoopla over the last few years? The further West the bigger it gets. Every single Russian athlete is suspicious these days. I bet there are thousands of Nordic sports fans who only wait until Bolshunov gets caught and banned too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
