Oeberg's skiing are already very dominant, only Herrmann can keep up. French women show themselves compactly strong in running, surprisingly sure there Chloe Chevalier, 4th time, fastest of them. But the biggest surprise for me is Sophia Schneider, 8th running time .

Franziska Preuss will miss the Individual and Relay. She hasn‘t been feeling a hundred percent yesterday at the training, so they have decided to rest her two more days.

I'm really looking forward to Elvira Oeberg tomorrow. I think she will run out almost 2 minutes on athletes like Wierer or Hauser, so similarly dominant as Bö today. I am also curious if the German women will be as strong as the men today.

Bionaz, Rastorgujevs, Brown, Todev and Pryma DNS … quite a lot

The World Cup in Le Grand Bornand is currently very much on the line. There is currently no snow at all and none is in sight.

In women's cross-country skiing, I don't even see the problem as big. There really only Neprayeva falls out. Especially in the distance field, Niskanen and Parmakoski, Brennan and Diggins, as well as some Germans and Stadlober are competitive next to the Swedes and Norwegians. Only in the men's race it's almost only the Norwegians. But the women's races should be quite exciting, especially now that Johaug is gone maybe even more exciting.

Hinz was sick and injured in the preparation, and could not prevail against Frühwirth, Schneider and Weidel in the test races now. Therefore, she must first in the IBU Cup.

Johanna Skottheim similarly fast on skis as always at the beginning of the season. Maybe this time she will not completely break in towards the peak. Stina Nilsson looks much more confident at the shooting range than before.

IBU Cup in Sjusjeon (NOR) is cancelled. There will be 4 races in Idre (2 Sprints, 1 Individual, 1 Pursuit).

However, there is still little snow in Sjusjeon, which means that the Italian team has now moved to Beitostolen and will not start in Sjusjeon.

It will also be streamed in French TV on L‘Equipe.

There will be no World Cup in Milano (ITA) due to economic and environmental reasons.

World Cup Season Start in Sjusjeon (NOR) is cancelled due to lack of snow and will be replaced by Lillehammer (NOR). By the way, French Team is missing this year, so probably it will be a Norwegian only test weekend.

Championships, Sprint: Men 1. Eric Perrot (2) 2. Quentin Fillon Maillet (3) +14.3 3. Fabien Claude (4) +42.8 4. Emilien Jacquelin (3) +47.0 5. Mathieu Garcia (1) +1:09.1 Women 1. Julia Simon (0) 2. Anais Chevalier-Bouchet (1) +46.8 3. Lou Jeanmonnot (1) +56.9 4. Jeanne Richard (1) +1:07.9 5. Caroline Colombo (3) +1:33.2

Hildebrand is also pregnant and so ends her career.

Justine Braisaz-Bouchet is pregnant and will miss the entire next season. Thus, the French team is missing two important key players, Bescond and Braisaz.

Lansiquot is running too early again after Tokyo last year, she doesn't seem to have the best nerves either. But at least she starts running, compared to Hartmann .
