Korostelev with a super nice podium., he and Darya getting it figured out.

Svahn with a great race from bib 5. Diggins with one of her better classic races. Fun to see Nepryaeva best of the rest. Brennan showing a pulse in 12th!

+1. Things seem to be working very well for him at Decathlon, no need to be rocking that boat for sure, at least for now. Not just the talent, but some swarthy good looks to go along with it; the French will be goo-goo gaa-gaa over him!

It would be one thing if he was just a 'little' better than everyone else, but he is taking the next best riders on the planet and making them look like juniors; it's just not enjoyable, at least for me. He frankly wrecks every race he's in and if he avoids illness and injury the only two...

Genius! Unfortunately it feels like we're not all that far away from this; I think it's just flat out stupid for Madiot to be speaking of him in those terms. This poor kid better be made of some very stern stuff.

Very happy for her! Nepryaeva with a great result as well.

For US ski fans, Kendall Kramer finishing 9th from bib 35 is a massive result.

LOLOLOL, I'm sorry, but that's just not my nature. :tearsofjoy: But, upon further review, it seems like keeping it short is best for everyone... <cough> IT SEEMS LIKE YOU WERE RIGHT THIS TIME! :p

Ahhh, yes, that too, totally gapped out the Vasaloppet being today. Pardon me now while I go back and delete my post and deny having ever made it! :p I think I still owe you a response to your post awhile back regarding Laukli; looks like I'm behind on my homework... ;)

I was not able to watch yesterday so did not know that; thx. That said, I have been a long time fan of Nordic skiing and if my interest in this is waning I can't imagine I am alone in that... The ski thing is my least favorite part of the sport tbh, ridiculous.

Attendance abysmal at the WC in Falun today. This is Sweden we're talking about here; if I was a potential sponsor I doubt I would be particularly interested in investing money into this.

What an awful sh*t show. Zero interest in this.

This. The sooner he stops trying to fit a square peg into a round hole the better, imho.

I loved how Ebba was still going hard right to the end, perhaps her way of saying “Frida or no Frida, I was winning Gold today!”. Nice Silver for Heidi, and I enjoyed the little bow to Ebba at the finish. Absolutely loved the race for Bronze, it seemed like every couple of kilometers the...

Totally understand. I have been a longtime fan of Krista (one of my favorite WC skiers actually) and did not mean in any way for my post to be a slam on her, genuinely apologize if it came off that way. I just fondly remember the days when she would have been in the thick of that battle today...
