Finally a Danish sponsor enters!

Im not a hockey fan, but I have read the Wikipedia Article about the 1980 tournament, and you are both right and wrong. Right in that the game against Russia (Soviet) was not the gold medal game and that it therefore is a bad comparison, but also wrong when claiming the game was the semifinal...

Do you even believe yourself that you know what you are talking about here? Let's start with Astrid Øyre Slind, which you claim "started with Ski Classics". As far as I know she started doing Ski Classics in the 2016 season, at the age around 27 and went went top 7 in Marcialonga, Vasaloppet...

Im of the opionon that basically all the good WC skiers (perhaps except of the smaller guys like Desloges, Lapalus, Tildheim Andersen etc) would be dominating the Ski Classics scene if they went all in for that. A fully motivated Klæbo, Nyenget, Iversen, Niskanen, Stenshagen, Amundsen etc would...

Ah yes, that would be the course patrol (the quote from DenisMenchov) then, which usually is local juniors. That could definitively have happened in a way that would look (/would be) very biased towards the Norwegians. It was first and foremost your claim of using "machines" ("they put machines...

A lot of good points, but this is very wrong. The point-to-point race during the Scandinavian Tour in was not raced in heavy snow and Bolshunov won that race solo (search for ‘Bolshunov Meråker’ on YouTube for the summary of that race). There were some «Machines» involved in this race as they...

What a great race. Ebbas performance was definitively worthy of the history books, and the battle for bronze was amazing.

Dont know about fat, but definitively useless. Barely scraping a top 10 in UAE is pathetic.

That would probably be placed other places than wax team expenses :sweatsmile:

The Swedes have a wax budget that is like 95% of what Norway have, so you kind of have to wonder what the he** they are spending their money on.

If you give Notz or Davies the skis of Klæbo (even adjusted for the weight difference) they would struggle to even get up the hills. Klæbo is, because of his outstanding technique, skiing with much less kick wax/klister then the average world cup skier.

Niskanen has apparently been sick the whole week and was unsure to even start. He said he wanted to test the first two loops to see if it was possible. Obviously it wasn’t.

If this happens its likely just gonna be 3-4 Norwegians and maybe Korostelev going away. Kind of what happened in Goms.

Great job by the Finns to pick Hakola over Hyvaarinen

His classic performances this year have been pretty underwhelming. Im thinking Korostelev being the only one (if its true that Niskanen is sick) that could stop a full Norwegian podium. Im hoping for a Musgrave sensation.
