Ski Jumping, some Freestyle/Snowboard, Men‘s Slalom, Ski Mountaineering Sprint (probably), Luge/Bobsleigh and the indoor events will be probably in the evening, but definitely no Biathlon. The weather at the day is also too good for races under floodlights. They could time it at 3pm, then it is primetime in Asia and in the morning in the US, so optimal.

Is the skitime of the Norwegians that outstanding? Eckhoff was as fast as Herrmann, Oeberg and Simon on her lap. And also Roeiseland was not so dominatin, 13 seconds slower for example than the ladies from the second group and the course length was exactly the same. In the men's race Johannes Bö was for example slower than Loginov and also Nawrath was only 8 seconds slower. Tarjej Bö for example was 20 seconds slower than Loginov. I don't see any dominance there, especially since the four fastest Norwegians were skiing today and the rest tend to be a bit slower than the four. There is no gold preprogrammed, especially with that wind.

Yeah, I’m quite shocked by Sola. Oberhof was still good, than Ruhpolding bad and Antholz very Bad. Today at the beginning it looked better, but the last loop was again bad. And Wierer: she looked at her best in Antholz, maybe her shape is also going down. That Roeiseland will be strong clear at this profile was quite clear. I‘m really looking forward to see what Braisaz-Bouchet can do. This profile should also suit her very much.

The Swedes are traditionally never really strong at altitude, aren't they? At least I can never really remember any top performances. The Norwegians, French and Russians are traditionally strong in Antholz at altitude, so no surprise for me the result, even if it was constantly back and forth. The best have prevailed.

Norway have a big problem in the relay

Does anyone have a reliable weather source for Zhangjiakou? On the page of the organizers it is never announced so cold, only around -5 degrees

Lanisek was pre-qualified in the Team

Two in two days if you‘re already in China and four in four days if you‘re still in Europe

The other athletes are Falla, Myhrvold, Lotta Weng and Tiril Weng, so no one who is a potential starter for the skiathlon. They are mostly sprinters and have their main event on Tuesday.

This is the team for the Skiathlon, sorry.

But I would make a clear distinction again. Only the indoor competitions in Beijing should be really problematic. I don't see any increased risk of infection at the outdoor competitions in Yanqing and Zhangjiakou, and so far there have probably been fewer positive cases than in ice hockey, for example. Therefore, I would be surprised to see a complete cancellation, but rather in the sports in Beijing.

Why? The first speed event in Beijing for the Women is on 11th February.

The Norwegian men's cross-country skiers are all in quarantine after the head coach tested positive and the athletes are all considered close contacts. The departure to Beijing must be postponed to at least 31.01. https://www.nrk.no/sport/ol-uttatte-langrennsherrene-definert-som-naerkontakter-_-dette-kan-bli-nodlosningen-1.15825889
