Never a dull moment when Jaquelin is around. A shame Sondre Slettemark got sick so we didn't get a Danish-Greenlandic battle, but 16th is not bad at all for the Danish duo.

So after the biggest margin ever in a pursuit race, today we had the biggest margin ever in a single mixed relay.

Where the hell has Margie Freed found this final lap from? I thought after 2 laps staying with Elvira and Kirkeeide that she'd be hard-pushed to hang on to 3rd from Fiálková.

Alternatively, what the hell has happened to Häcki-Groß's ski speed this year as she has been historically a far better skier than she's shown at any point this season.

She has to gap the Swiss on the uphill though, she's climbing better than LHG, but the Swiss skis are gliding far better. LHG did have to take a LOT of care not to take them both out in that downhill into the stadium. The sprint is... well it's not even close.

Those early laps of leg 4 might be a bit artificial, looking at Kirkeeide here, she lost a lot on that last lap too.
