    Not sure, still behind 13+, even after Boe missed once.

    Small bands of Norwegian Resistance Fighters have made their way onto the Holmenkollen hills, Goverment ministers are giving frowns of disapproval.
     
    Looks like beer drunk directly from the can has useful disinfectant properties.

    We do that to remove the snow that gets stuck in the classic skis due to the grip wax (which is kind of a very sticky glue).
    What happens is: we (skiers) have to stay the more we can just inside the classic track, because there the snow is compact, so it doesn't get stuck in the grip wax. When we step outside, even if it's just for 1 second, the snow (in this case, in flakes, because outside of the track) can get picked by the glue. If that happens and the snow stays in the glue, apart from losing the glide of the skis, you can also fall because the skis brake suddenly while you are trying to glide (like some jolts) so the skiers have no other option than stop and clean it up.
     
    Sometimes, that can happen even if you stay all the time inside the track (you know, those two lines). It happens when it's snowing a lot, for example.
     
    You can see that before the start of a classic race, the skiers move their legs a lot. It's not because of nervousness, adrenaline, etc, but because if the skis stay still while you are standing on it, the snow can get stuck under the skis the same way. ?

    Found one instance, a Russian is doing it at 26:35 of ES player ambient sound recording. Just after 5.0 km checkmark in race. Seen it with a different athlete as well, but really no idea where in race.

    Why are they holding a World Cup in a place where they seemingly aren't even able to get decent (or any!) TV coverage?

    No, I don’t want 3 relays either. I also don’t want the individual. We should just lose the useless gender relays.

    So I gave it another chance...but I can not help myself, I can not find any sympathy or excitement for this single mixed relay. This is The most useless and ridiculous biathlon event, this should definitely stay on the auf schalke exhibitions gala or so

    Individual, easily the greatest biathlon discipline. At least to me.
     
    And Wierer makes it easy to cheer for her, such an exciting and brave athlete.
     
    Cheered for Hojnisz too, shame for the misses.

    Thank you very much with the help regarding points, @Kirkpatrick! 
    The reason why the points you had counted were higher was because you had added points from course times. There are no points for fastest course times in pursuits.

    Will try to check it out after the race, and will try to update it if noone does it before.
     
    Hopefully someone else does it, I'm bound to screw something up.

    Great skill from Doro, keeping both the ski manufacturer’s name & the Red Bull can in shot at the same time.

    Or at least build a longer course, so that differences between blue and red have less impact.
     
    I wouldn't mind FIS completely dropping this parallel gimmick though.

    Shortage of snow, so they had to change it.
