Joensuu wins the sprint cup by a big margin with only one podium this season and no wins

They really need to reduce the number of teams in the team sprint finals. More incidents than skiing.

Walk over in both the good and boende final for men?? Or are they able to race?

You have 5 gold medals, 6 if including relays over 200m. 4 over 100m, 7 if including relays. but only one over 50m, 2 in 400m, one in 800m etc.. Not very well balanced. And I would guess the competition is much tougher in the sprint events than the 1500m too.

After 12 games and 2 draw shots per game, this is the final standings in the DSC, three teams on the same millimeter average: 2 SUI - Switzerland ↻ 14.0 20.9 25.4 11.6 10.3 42.5 3.5 34.1 37.5 6.8 20.5 12.9 20.25 cm ↺ 8.5 22.8 24.4 69.7 15.2 5.1 25.0 24.7 37.8 19.9 28.4 36.1 3 CHN - China ↻ 70.7 65.2 16.4 6.5 9.8 26.9 10.1 24.2 29.2 12.1 6.7 4.1 20.25 cm ↺ 6.3 32.3 71.0 79.2 22.3 13.9 17.4 6.3 30.1 11.6 14.6 8.8 4 SWE - Sweden ↻ 15.9 8.9 25.3 32.5 24.6 4.7 47.0 10.9 41.9 15.2 14.8 6.9 20.25 cm

Another small margin win for Andersson against Johaug but this time none of them are good enough for todays podium and Ilar who didnt make the relay team in Trondheim wins 😄

Olympic moguls champion Walter Wallberg whi already missed big parts of the season will also miss the World Championsship and undergo another surgery.

Maja Said she cried during the race after she heard who won, when she still had some kilometers remaining😄

Johaug would probably only have one individual medal from this championship without the fall from Sundling/Weng in Skiathlon and this.

Haha that was some interesting tactics, everyone stops to see if someone changes skiis or not

Awful conditions, but exciting race!

Agree about the worlds but why would it be less important in the Olympics, the event with the highest status?

Maybe they should have kept it at 30 km. And not changed the other disciplines. btw I also think it was a bad idea to make the mens distansen shorter. yes the women needed a longer skiathlon and definately longer relay legs but those distances are to shorts for the men. Not with individual starts but it is just to difficult ti make differences in the men's mass starts. Kläbo won the longest race so probably he would have had 6 golds anyway but it is also clear that he is the skiier with most benefit from these changes.

First in Swedish, but the group are from Finland (the Swedish speaking part)😄 A bit refreshing to send something different to the regular radio pop hit actually

Oh I missed that this was not an olympic event 😞

Surprised that the Swedish odds of winning Eurovision hasn't changed After Måns Zelmerlövs unexpected loss in Melodifestivalen

What an athlete Tove Alexandersson. Finally she can compete for olympic medals after her previous 21 world championship golds in orienteering, 10 WCH golds in ski orienteering, 1 WCH gold in sky running and 1 previous gold in skimo.

Yes. Norwegian sounds like a swede that is unreasonably happy that you can´t take it seriously. And Danish sounds like a drunk swede with a potato stuck in their throat.

Ebba Andersson almost "died" of chock when she saw Sundling had reduced 39 seconds to 15 seconds already to First intermediate 😅 https://www.instagram.com/reel/DG5krCWNRKQ/?igsh=MTN1b2FtMmJoY2RlbQ==

Norway put their weakest card on 4th in the womens relay! H Weng-Slind-Johaug-Fosnaes But I can understand. They Will lose a final sprint against Jonna anyway so their chance is to leave Sweden behind.

Interesting to see what tactics are best today. Sundling and Skistad Will not go the same legs in the team sprint. Dahlqvist Will finish for Sweden. I have not seen the skiss team yet but Kaelin/Fähndrich could be an outsider?

9 individual WCH medals but when Will the First individual gold come from Frida😅

USA are allowed to start with 5 (Free spot for Diggins) and only Brennan and Sonnsyn to start

I think she had some limitations to be all round and consistent enough. She has good results in classic but her technique was more dependent on good grip then others, which made her results in classical style less consistent. Also she was obviously a good sprinter enough to win an olympic relay and be one of the most successfull team sprinters ever, but in indivual sprints, or in mass starts as most of the world cup races have been she has not been good enough compared to Björgen etc. Better in individual starts and especially freestyle. Around the 2010 olympic she was unbeatable in 10 km freestyle individual start but not at all the same in other disciplines and even if she improved in classic, others cathed her and she lost her advantage as the best technical freestyle skiier as I think she was back then. She has actually a podcast together with Jonna Sundling, Hanna Öberg and Elvira Öberg where they just recently discussed this. Some listeners questioned why the cross country skiiers and in particular some swedish women doesn´t seem to prioritize the world cup compared to the biathles. Also the Öberg sisters questioned that. Kalla said she really tried in the beginning of her career but her only sprint win was in that Tour de Ski 2008 and she had to accept she would be better and wouldn´t have the chance to win the overall world cup and then the championships became more important and she become a bit of a championship specialist, especially in olympics where she is the most decorated winter olympic athlete from Sweden (9 medals). but not so many WC wins. Sundling is a bit similar with the difference that they have different qualities and that Sundling was quite old when she broke through. Much because of many seasons destroyed by sickness and injuries, and she has finally found the recipe on how to succeed at championships and try to avoid the long sickness periods and that she has to try to follow the plan what is best for her even if she pointed out that she felt a bit guilty against the sport when she skips tour de ski and also a few other weekends.
