Swedish men 10th in the team sprint to follow up their 10th in the relay. I've never known such a poor Swedish team, not only questions about training/coaching but their attitude is terrible. Can't think of a group more likely to raise the white flag than the Swedes.

It's nothing about her personality it's more the idocy of wasting energy on a Classic sprint, with injured ribs, 2 days before the biggest race of her life. It's a nonsense she's skiing today, no other team would allow this but not only do the American skiers burn themselves out the coaches...

Klaebo should thank his lucky stars it's only 20k and the Russians aren't in vdf. Zero chance he wins Gold on this course on these conditions under the old order.

Karlsson wins 5 Golds skiing like this

Diggins was struggling before the fall, losing lots of time on the downhills Karlsson and Andersson will drop Sundling on the next lap.

Warm conditions in VDF. Feels perfect for Andersson to win her first Olympic Gold Medal

To be fair if you mention they got good skis for the team sprint, it's reasonable that wasn't the case in at least some of the other races.

America have zero chance of winning a relay medal. Diggins should be more like Alex Harvery and focus on herself. My advice would be to drop the sprint and the relay.

She's struggled now for 12 months. 4th in Toblach in 10k classic, 25 seconds behind Diggins....which is hardly half a second behind Johaug in the same race at the Olympics. She struggled all race today and at no stage looked like her old self. She's 37 and father time has caught up with her...

Niskanen looked like a tourist out there today, not relevant in any races in VDF. In fact i'm struggling to last think of an Oympics that had so few medal contenders on the womens side.

Stenshagen was only 0.02 seconds from a place in the sprint final yesterday, those extra bonus seconds would have made today much, much tighter. In the end the extra 92 bonus seconds Klaebo got from the sprints was the diffrence. Fair play to Emil Iverson, hard to believe he could end up with a...

I though that before the race but the way it unfolded and the final podium i'm not so sure. Linn Svahn would do very well on this course.

The elephant in the room is the standard of womens skiing has fallen in the last few years. The 87-91 golden generation is coming to an end, The 92-96 generation is largely absymal, then a good 97-99 generation. It's noticaable how few good skiers(if any) have been born it the 00s. Unlike the...

It isn't neccessary to list her results, i watched the races. Her two 10ks were mediocre(by her standards), the one in Davos in particular. She's looked much better this Tour but still stand by the point ,skiing gets harder with age and its much better to rest than go in everything at 34.

I thought Diggins was looking an old woman before Christmas, different skier after Christmas. The Tour is very easy this year, wonder how many will skip the next World Cup races and turn up fresh in the Olympics?
