Oestberg doing pretty good for now, still skiing together with Johaug after half the race.

Thank you, Oestberg. Just 3 seconds behind Johaug at 7 km.

Soooooo close at the end. Just 0.7 ahead of Oestberg.

I always struggle with Tour de Ski calculations.

Bring me my sprint -> pursuit biathlon simplicity. :D

Ustiugov is either brilliant or, well, poor. Remember commentators saying that as well. Today, certainly brilliant.

Apparently, in tomorrow's pursuit start list is based only on this race, and that means Klaebo will start more than a minute behind. Will he even race on the last day?

Sixth commercial in the 45 minutes of this interval race on the Eurosport.

And ambient sound stream doesn't have timings.

Bonus points (seconds?) in the interval race. Peculiar.

Not sure I'm a fan of any bonus seconds, anywhere.

I don't understand how semi-finals are drawed? I mean, all the best are in semi-final 1, SF2 with the rest.

Huh? The final climb is not a pursuit anymore?

Yep, wiki...

That's some thrill gone from the last day.

Also, two sprints. 

(ok, that's not new - used to be one or two last couple of years)

They could've put one tiny 30 km interval race. Mass starts suck most of the time.

Makarainen disappoints and disappoints. Still somehow second.

Drone attempting murder on Hirscher, was that also in Italy? Dorfmeister missed a guy in Turin 2006 I believe, as well.

As yesterday, bring on the girls!

Fialkova went on penalty loop with all targets hit? 

Duboltokina, so stupid. 

Bring on the girls.

Tomorrow:

Cancelled?

Cancelled?

Disappointing day. Hopefully not the whole weekend.

Very similar to mine, we share seven atheletes.

Krueger with a dominating performance.

365 points gained from ladies' pursuit! Thank you, my ladies.

Surely she'll win as well, can't see anyone stopping her, and that's the impression from the start of qualifications.

Thanks, yeah, ES screwed a bit starting with the second run.

Nevermind, apparently, there was a first run for 1/16 finals as well. Eurosport player started with the second.

What is the format for these parallel nonsenses?

They keep the times from qualifications? 

Oh hoh, 20/20 Eckhoff. 

Think I should get a nice boost in points from this race.

But still struggling to find motivation to follow women's World Cup. Sprint is uninteresting as a discipline, and this disgusting domination of Johaug in the distance races is even worse. She should try some new lipsticks.
