Norwegian (and Klaebo in particular) haters should probably turn away now.
Edit, NVM he ran out of energy.

Nah, Iivo just crushed all life on earth on the final lap. If you compare Klaebo's performance to everyone else he didn't fade that much.Norwegian (and Klaebo in particular) haters should probably turn away now.

Klaebo and the other sprinters in the A-squad are covid-positive and out for the season. Most likely picked up from the skishow in Helsinki. Grate is also infected and so is his girlfriend Ribom.I assume Klaebo not racing as he already has the World Cup sewn up and wants to be competing for the 50km?
well, yeah, and going by your post, he still got way more recognition for it than Jouve for his first ever victoryA lot of people will crap on Wang's parade because so many good sprinters were absent when he podiumed for the fist time. He still finished ahead of great skiers like Chanavat and Pellegrino, that's impressive.
Norways women's coach sat with his head in his hands going 'fuuuuuuuuuuck'.Not unexpectedly, Johaug will retire after the season.
Jouve is now 5th overall and 2nd in sprint in the WC points standings, his victory was well merited. I have always questioned the French team's separation of sprinters from the distancers as the top sprinters are often all around skiers. Jouve has been doing more distance races and his sprinting results have never been better. Not a scientific study, but kind of proves my point. Chanavat does great in qualifying but often fades towards the final.well, yeah, and going by your post, he still got way more recognition for it than Jouve for his first ever victory
Jonna Sundling is still there
TBH a 50km women's race might well have been fine during the Johaug era, she'd have had to think a bit more about her pacing then, if Oberstdorf and Storlien-Meråker are anything to go by, Karlsson had the measure of her the longer the race got and getting up to 30k and beyond the balance tipped towards the Swede.Now that the Johaug era is over I want a 50km woman's race in Holmenkollen next year.
