That's a shame considering the Americans were off to such a good start in the World Cup season Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkpatrick 144 Posted December 28, 2019 #14 Share Posted December 28, 2019 They could've put one tiny 30 km interval race. Mass starts suck most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's bullshit there hasn't been a single long stage in it for years anyway, and the last A-to-B-stage was already in 2013 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I do wish they’d focus on longer distances for the Tour De Ski. There should 1 (maybe 2) sprint(s), a short individual, a long individual, 2 (or 3) (very) long mass starts, and the final stage up the climb (in pursuit format). There should also be no break days either. Also, there should be 100% more @brunamoura in it brunamoura 1 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Also, there should be 100% more @brunamoura in it The Tour de Ski should be as good of a mix of everything as possible and indeed a pursuit style final climb, as it's been since 'forever'....until now. I just really, really don't understand FIS' thought process in that change: how on earth is it better for any TV viewer to go from 'the positions you see on TV are the real positions' to 'you see things on TV, but without calculating you don't know the results'? Also: mixed feelings about that last statement, it'd be absolutely awesome, but it'd make for a significantly more boring New Year's Eve here at home brunamoura 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Kirkpatrick 144 Posted December 29, 2019 #20 Share Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) 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) Edited December 29, 2019 by Kirkpatrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
