    Good course but difficult to ski away in the conditions, it is supposed to warm up for the men's race so maybe a different kind of race? Liliane Gagnon is a name for the future, never heard of her before today. Parmakoski said that Alpe Cemis would be the last time in her career this season, i...

    Hard to understand what the US coaches are doing with her, she should be resting and getting prepared for World Juniors. She's at an age where she needs to be working on her technique(which is bad) instead of racing against seniors all the time. Sprint course looks good for today, tough and short.

    It's silly to put the mixed relay as the first event of the weekend, had it been on Sunday it would be full nations/full teams.

    Horrific and if 7.5km is the plan for Trondheim then we might as well start the race with the final leg at the bottom of the final climb.

    Is he sick or is he just old? Either way, time for Sweden to move on

    Can't make my mind up on the relays now being 7.5k for both genders. It makes the guy's race more interesting in that it guarantees a sprint finish but the girl's race is more like a junior relay with huge swings in each leg. Can't understand Sweden putting Poroma on the anchor nor his...

    Girls relay tomorrow looks like the weakest of all time. Only Sweden sends 2 strong teams and Germany has 1 strong team. The United States hasn't bothered to enter a team. Could Sweden 2 beat Norway 1?

    Norway 1-4 yet the the non-Norwegians largely controlled the race. Poromaa is criticised in Sweden for bad tactics but I don't know what more he could have done with the skillset he has? Another good race for the young Italian Barp, he's progressing well in all the races. What a season Klaebo...

    The first final Klaebo hasn't reached, without an accident, for nearly 7 years...he's having a *** season by his standards. Amundsen looked really good again today and even Niskanen looked to have taken a small step forward. Quite looking forward to the men's race tomorrow(a first this season)...

    I read a few comments last season about Johaug on the Diskutopia that she was doing well? How is Marit doing? I read her comments in the media and she seems very, very negative about the Norwegian girls - I can't help but think someone needs to have a little word in her ear and remind her not...

    That isn't Diggins fault, when she's out there skiing she has no control over what commentators say. It's completely irrational to have hatred towards someone over things they can't control. Mike and Patrick aren't commentators though, are they? They have no journalism background, they are...

    Speaking of tv coverage, there's always a focus on here about Eurosport(English version) but what do the Scandanavians think of their coverage? Anders Blomqvist with his 'yes, yes, yes' In English whenever a Swede picked up a cheap podium, followed by a chuckle, instead of the focus being on...
