Easy for both Johaug and Bolshunov, but no wonder with their advantage. Klaebo moved to second though, good for him too.

Obersdorf next weekend with skiathlon and classic sprint.

In cross country they at least only has Pursuits sometimes in the World cup, and give a win to best time as well but that is also not really fair conditions, not to Mention How Weird it is that a race can have Two winners or even Worse that johaug for example can get Two World cup wins in one race.

That's only for the "special" races like Tour de Ski, right? Today for instance, there's no "win" for the fastest.

I wanna blizzard for the remaining races.

Miss something! Like 3 or 4 in next two shooting. 

Zubčić is in nice form though.

And PGS is as dull as always.     

Ridiculous tempo from Johaug...even Weng, though she's still 6+ seconds behind after a kilometer.

I'm an idiot in the transfer market.

Wow how many places did Fak gain with that last clear shoot? Must have been about 20.

Gonna lose a few on the track again, though. EDIT: Managed to hold them all off. Well done.

No Boe, Fourcade wins. So predictable.

Other Boe was terrible.

How did they do the men last year? Shooting today at 5 - 7.5 - 10 - 12.5?

Such a shame for Kryuko though.

That's it, Kaisa wins!

Wow, very windy.

Stay strong, Kryuko and Kaisa!

Exhilarating 3 minutes of AC. Shame biathlon is 45 minutes away. 

Zubčić showing slalom skiiers how it's done.

Might get better in some future races, but today for instance, second race is useless after first three starters. Men's race was over when Pinturault started 9th I believe.

So far, very much prefer previous order. Combination will never be fair.

And as I said, always was looking forward by just how much speed masters will lose in slalom races.

And silly, it was. Just 47 starters, 31 finishers.

And apparently, we're going with 1st in this race -> 1st starter in slalom, 2nd -> 2nd and so on and on...? So, pretty much no point watching a lot of second race. No more looking forward to various straddling while waiting for the last racers...

Combination is interesting discipline in the way where we watch just how silly will it get.

Still miles better than parallel nonsenses.

Globe for three races just isn't anything to look for.

But, still 200 more points to be given.

Very surprising and nice result for the curser.

Windisch with quite a fall.

Kaisa did wonderful just now. Shame they have so little chance.

Even top sprinters are missing, on both sides. Guess most of them welcomed rest after Tour de Ski over some small gains in the overall/sprint.

Most top women seem to be there though, considering it's a sprint. One can't expect Johaug to be there of course  

Quick look showed only Sundling being there, none of the other from top 10 overall. 

EDIT: My bad, not even Sundling!

Everybody* is taking a weekend off during Dresden sprint races. 

*top 10 overall from men's side for sure, very similar from women's too
