Klaebo is insanely dominant.

Korostelev with a super nice podium., he and Darya getting it figured out.

Marlene Fichtner not firing all her rounds and might make it two World Cup relay DQs in a row for her. Can't be many times that has happened.

Don‘t you just get two minutes or one minute for that? Anyways, she‘s now skiing the worst in the field as well.

I had forgotten this would have been a spare round. You get a DQ for entering the course with a live round in the chamber, but as it's a relay she won't have loaded it and will get the two minutes.

Tandrevold has just managed to not collapse in standing, so it will be even harder for the following athletes to avoid the spots where the universe is collapsing.

The Germans are now skiing on another level (in a bad way), really going for that terrible result

Well at least Preuß isn't to blame for this. Tandrevold had a solid return to the Norwegian team.

I think in all honesty everybody else is just taking this as an ersatz training session. Stay out there and don't get lapped, but with the penalty there's pretty much nothing to be gained from racing it hard after they'd already lost 2 further minutes on the trails. Tannheimer was skiing with Lampič for two laps. Their deficit isn't exactly soaring upwards in the rest of the race and they're picking through a few of the also rans in terms of their actual position on tracks, they were just utterly irrelevant already.

Good to see Korostelev getting a podium, he already deserved it.

Best performance of Dariya Nepryaeva's career, it bodes well for the future. Also great second place for Linn Svahn, I expect her to be able to challenge for the World Cup overall in the coming seasons.

Klaebo is insanely dominant.

He will even break Bjørgen's record this season. This guy is still 29.

An actually good Swedish girl taking part in enough races to win the overall World Cup? I don’t believe it before I see it.

Well, at least in 2028, she should.

Since he has indicated he plans on going another olympic cycle, and seems to be getting better with age, that record is going to last 100 years.
