Re:
looking forward to the men's 20k k later today and the lillehammer fis minitour.
kalla was diagnosed with an arrhythmia...both stina and calle will race 3 distances. i see both on the eventual podium. still not clear if ustiugov will race...the finns strangely are not filling their quota i expect a good overall showing from pelle (top 10 at least) and mussy (also top 10). legkov, i have a hunch, will not be in lillehammer given his poor showing last weekend. vyleg may surprize b/c his poor showing last week was due to
a bad fall plus i hear he's improved his sprint (still to be shown). hellner is a dark horse. but he's healthy at least.
and of course harvey wanted to start the season with a bang. curiously, i do not see babikov among the canadian team ? too old ?
any idea what was the actual wind speed ? i looked at the official results and stats - all sorts of numbers there - except the weather. logically, i'd think that the sport fed in which the shooting accuracy is sensitive to wind should attempt to monitor it, no ?...or perhaps i was not looking in the right files ?meat puppet said:Windy women's normal distance race in Östersund yesterday. Many struggled with their shooting, badly, and the race was a bit too much of a lottery to my liking. Dahlmeier won in the end, with two missed shots and good skiing. Bescond second and Jurkevitch surprise-podiumed.
Difficult to say where the faves are at n relation to one another. All seemed to be skiing quite well.
