My predicitons are nearly the same. vs. battle will be very close. Than for 4th place also close, all teams struggle to get four equally good jumps, but I think Lindvik is on fire now and can make a difference. jumped pretty solid and have problems here. But as @FireRun said, one bad jump (or wind) and you're out.

Ohh.. yeah! So much sleep tomorrow. Events I want to watch live, there is only Ski Jumping at 12:00. Perfect day to catch some missed events (I missed a lot) and probalby like 10 curling games. (I don't get it, somedays are completly full of overlaping events. eg. today alpine skiing, scross-country skiing and 2x biathlon and speed skating and short track. And tomorrow rest day like at Tour de France.)

His skiing times are okay, but shooting... oh boy, oh boy. Lukas Hofer shooting 20/20, but Laegreid 10/20 nobody could ever predicted that.

me too, me too..

Quentin Fillon Maillet and Johannes Thingnes Boe are just like letters 'M' and 'W' overlapping. They got gold alternately and another one got silver (now Boe only 5th, but Tarjei is his replacement).

Laegreid only 10/20 - where get his perfect shooting lost?

Quentin Fillon Maillet 20/20!!!

Hofer from 14th to 3rd.

But 5/5

WAT?

Would Norway won, Russian TV would simply said, it's because their asthma. Let's agree France is simply the best!

I think the best solution is to view sprint+pursuit as a single event. Sprint as qualification race open for all. And pursuit as medal race. Maybe make sprint shorter like 6km for women and 7,5km for men? Ok. Today race was semi-interesting (but only if you watch only a fight for gold, fight for top10 was full of ups and downs.), but there were a lot of exciting pursuits in the past/WC.

But eg. Hyvarinen was 7th in skiathlon and 6th at 15km and today much slower than Pralong or Notz.

- relay would be better if only Iivo Niskanen were runnig whole 40km.

You can watch a replay. :P

is out. Even behind !

Weather can make some trouble. ROC with first move

Only one team lapped!

Hard to predict. The wind and suit control can make a difference. From trainig sessions Lindvik looks good in shape, but can he jump under pressure? Ffirst jump on NH was a disaster. Kobayashi is much cooler. And than there are 20 other guys who can be lucky shoot.

Polish gutter press writes about argument in Polish team (https://sport.interia.pl/biegi-narciarskie/news-monika-skinder-o-slowach-izabeli-marcisz-otwarty-konflikt-w-,nId,5825896). Izabela Marcisz (best distance skier) won't run team sprint with Monika Skinder (nominally best polish sprinter), because some personal stuff. If someone care... By the way Polish men's relay will not start, because they save energy for team sprint to somehow manage to get TOP8 to secure scholarship.

Niskanen-family have now colected gold-silver-bronze-fourth-set.
