Emil Iversen Paal Golberg Hans Christer Holund Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo I think that's pretty risky. Iversen hasn't run a race here yet and the results so far this season have been nothing. In addition, Paal Golberg on the second, who has not really convinced here so far. Russia has to be aggressive and put Bolshunov on two with Niskanen.

At least Roeiseland will win 3 golds and the men at least 2 in the Biathlon as well, I think. Germany has to rely on Bobsleigh and Skeleton

At least the first three ladies have been around for a long time and have not been involved in anything so far, so one should be careful with such statements. Stepanova is more likely to be undescribed, although she has already won at junior level. With someone like Loginov it is something else, but not all athletes from Russia are doped. Then the medals of Pellegrino and Stadlober would also be questionable, they also train in Russia.

They are just always on time in top form While in the past it was mostly due to a very strong individual performance, mostly Nystad, today was a fantastic performance of the whole collective. They simply took advantage of the fact that Norway and Sweden are completely out of shape and Finland has set up completely wrong.

Dahlqvist/Sundling has been confirmed for the team sprint, maybe there a second gold

Had Karlsson not collapsed so, Sundling could even have won gold here, her performance was tremendous

Russia and Germany did everything right tactically, especially Stupak was the decisive athlete. And nobody knows why Finland put the two classical specialists on freestyle.

Finnish so stupid

Completely wrong order

Kyllonen was in the Skiathlon the fastest Finnish freestyle skier compared to her classic time, so I was quite sure she will be on the third leg.

To be honest, they have no other choice than to make Chloe fit for the Relay. Justine is a disaster, just like at the World Championships last year. Slow shooting times, many mistakes and a really weak skiing form. With her, the relay can only backfire. Both Anais and Julia had at least a good race which gives hope, but with Justine they will go home without a medal in the relay. Chloe is at least a solid relay runner and I hope she is running in a good shape so that she can be used in the starting position. But with Justine all hopes would be lost before the start, she just doesn't get it right at big events. The Swedes and Norwegians are probably beatable anyway, but with Justine they would be without a chance even against teams like Russia or Germany.

And there she is: https://data.fis-ski.com/pdf/2022/CC/2697/2022CC2697SL.pdf Niskanen not racing Classic, that is a huge shock. And Russians with Stepanova

I edited Sweden, but then it is the right composition.

So poor! No pursuit for Chevalier is a disaster, and Braisaz ist a disaster again.

They may also want to have another run towards the relay. I'm curious about the running time, so far the plans and expectations of the Swedes did not work out so well.

She is a sprinter so no chance in the team sprint. Niskanen and Paramakoski will probably be the team.

Weather will be quite a problem in the Sprint and Pursuits. The wind is supposed to freshen and it is supposed to get very cold, Sunday we will also be in the critical range around -15 degrees and lower. So maybe we see conditions like in the Mixed Relay.

Magnusson is a real big surprise? She is definitely the slowest of the team.

BIB 1 and 5 for a glorious day?

That was clear, I said it!

Russians and Fins definitely favorites for the relay. Norwegian and Sweden really poor. I think we will see Sundling in the relay.

15K Classic Hugo Lapalus Maurice Manificat Richard Jouve For Manificat and Jouve it should be about the last relay place. Lapalus, Lappiere and Parisse are supposedly seeded, although this can be assumed after the skiathlon.
