Karsson is having slight symptoms of a cold and not training today. Might open up the womens 50k if she's not starting or not 100%.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I was about to say this could be the day for Giacomel.

 

[BigCoward]

I'm not sure Jaquelin has his pacing quite right.

 

[jsem94]

What he hell happened to Giacomel?

Edit: apparently stomach issues? Poor guy. Olympics at home isn't for the feint of heart.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Germany are collecting 4th places like they're going out of style.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

What were the odds of Dale-Skjevdal, Fillon Maillet and Ponsiluoma all going home with individual gold medals?

Birthday boy gets another podium. Perhaps it is his cheat day, and maybe he's allowed to eat some cake as well

What a massacre, huge gaps with the difficult tracks and a sudden stormy wind.

Dale showing that he should have been selected for the relay instead of Botn. Perfect race from him.

Lægreid finished this Olympics with 5 medals in 5 races but 0 golds.

Fillon Maillet was insanely good on the skis once again with two misses less he would have likely won, but with three golds and now a bronze he is the male biathlete of the Olympics for me.

 

[YavorD]

If you simulate tge sprint and the pursuit 100 times, iin 70 of them Laegreid wins 2 golds. In problem 29 he wins at least one gold.
But in the Olympics, both, Ponsiluoma and Dale both won. Though luck for Laegreid.

Happy for Dale though, to think he didn't even start the season un the A team..

Iivo Niskanen is/was sick as well, and not sure to start yet. Same for Nissinen and Ryytty at the women's side, so they called Kirsta to come back to Italy.
