Iversens form is terrible as predicted. A 50km champ shouldn't be dropped by Russia here. Not to mention the sprinters on Germany and Italy.
Niskanen with a performance for the ages.
Is Lapalus cross countries answer to Julian Alaphilippe?

As I predicted Russia is winning this easily. Poromaa and Niskanen doing an excellent leg. Norway should still get second though but the fight for third is wide open but putting their two best skiers in skating was just stupid.
Interesting to see what will be the effect of this snowfall and the wind in the biathlon pursuit races. On the women's side I can't see Olsbu losing in the shape she is in but in the men's I think Fillon Maillet may take the gold (he has been the best pursuit racer this year just like Olsbu).

He is insane.
The chase pack are taking back about 3s per km. If klaebo is 30 seconds down on Ustigov I know where my money is.

Well Niskanen destroyed himself for nothing. That really sucks for him.Russia has this in the bag.

Bolsunov did not go deep at all. Niskanen insane leg. May affect races ahead.
Hyvärinen has bad skis, yeah. But before the start he said he has had the best performances of his life here, but they also have taken their toll. So, under recovered and forced to go above threshold at altitude -> kaboom.

Both Spitsov and Bolshunov were not all that great really. However, Ustiugov has no excuse to blow this.

Germans are one skier away from contending for medals. Again, Dobler not being in the relay is very strange.
Swedes again out of the medals, but it’s hardly a surprise. Two sprinters, a 21 year old (a very good 21 year old) and a guy who’s had to battle back problems all season. I don’t think it’s too bad.
Italy will be disappointed with that. De Fabiani really bled a lot of time. Pellegrino is in good form, and technically he looked the best I’ve seen him. I am guessing it’s those two for the team sprint. Maybe Maicol Rastelli could replace De Fabiani.
Hats off to Ustiugov. He’s endured a ton over the last 4 years. This is the most deserved medal for anyone in this sport, maybe in the entire Olympics.

Plus everyone sucking him off when Momo had really bad skis...
Anyway, congrats to Russia, Мужество ведет на небеса!

Cramer should try to convince Pellegrino to shift his training more towards fistance skiing, he clearly has lots of potential.
I am trying to decide if Klæbo’s skis were faster today or 4 years ago when he did a similar maneuver against Spitsov in Korea. He hardly pushed over the top and he still blew past the Frenchman.

he has whatever kind of health problems, according to a post on his Instagram, which was also the reason why he didn't start in the skiathlon.
Failure by Iversen but I don't think Valnes would have been better. Not sure about the health status of Røthe so he might not have made a difference either. Russia was just better today, solid by all 4.
Klæbo has great skis but he also does a lot more work on top of the hills.

Must be nice for Roiseland to know she could have probably missed 4 on last shoot and still won.
What the hell happened with the bronze medal. Everything changed. Tiril with a monster finish and Tandrevold collapsed. TV-production missed it completely.

Looks like it. She is carried away from the stadium. Sad and dramatic for Tandrevold on such a fantastic day for the rest of the team.
