Almost got a medal at the U23's the last two seasons. Good at both classic and skate. Very talented.

klaebo is way back...he also had a fall earlier. the head group is a little less numerous...i part due to ski change that just took place in part due to attrition..of the noticeable tactical developments important to note that the french are doing a team tactic as one rarely sees, having in mind the manificat distance cup...also visible is the strength of spitsov...DenisMenchov said:I'm not watching, just following the live timing, Klaebo distanced?

Well, you also have the old guard, Vylegzhanin (who by the looks of it, would have been another contender at Korea), still competing Bessmertnykh, Legkov (who may continue on after this season), and who can forget Ustiugov, who is only 25 (!!!) and was another guy that was unjustly and unfairly, without any proof, banned from competing in Korea.
Happy for Cologna. FINALLY wins a 50km and gets revenge for the photo finish he lost in 2015. Now he's truly won everything!! Wonder if he'll stick around until 2022 and try and go for the 50km there? He'll be 35, almost 36 then, but hopefully he can still contend then.

No thanks. I am not xenophobic and I hate double standards and hypocrisy.

That’s actually really surprising to me.
ZDF has to be some of the worst pro NATO propaganda when it comes to XC Skiing/Biathlon, there's a reason why I prefer Swiss TV.BullsFan22 said:Disgusting commentary from ZDF.

Really happy for Cologna, he finally won a 50km race.
I'm from South Tyrol, so we get Swiss TV, not only the German, but also the Italian one, LA1 - RSI, no idea on how to get Swiss TV in Germany, but years ago the mentioned the fact that a ton of Germans watched the Tour on Swiss TV and boosted their ratings, but maybe you only get it in SouthWest GermanyBullsFan22 said:Mayomaniac said:ZDF has to be some of the worst pro NATO propaganda when it comes to XC Skiing/Biathlon, there's a reason why I prefer Swiss TV.BullsFan22 said:Disgusting commentary from ZDF.

Unfortunately I can't get SRF. How do you get it if you are outside of Switzerland? And specifically about ZDF, I haven't heard of the guy commentating on today's race. Must be new, or I just haven't watched too many races on ZDF. It's as if he has specific, strict orders...In some ways I was glad they only showed 20 minutes of the race. Thankfully there is Youtube...
