Yes, Kalla should crush them all.

Libertine Seguros said:I'm thinking that's common sense really - otherwise there will be a level of jet lag when he's trying to perform in Khanty-Mansiysk and since he's a biathlete first and foremost (and more of a threat to medal in the discipline than most of the other biathletes who've placed in relays) he should focus on the biathlon worlds. I suppose normally jet lag wouldn't be an issue but with a few timezones between Khanty-Mansiysk and Oslo it's not worth it.

Nastyy said:Svendsen really wanted to do the relay because skiing in front of thousands of screaming Norwegians in Holmenkollen must be an experience every Norwegian would like to experience. It would've been an unique experience and in biathlon he has already won everything and they have World championships every year.
And I got to agree with Svendsen that he would've been better option than Röthe or Gjerdalen.

agreed. the pristine sport of ours doesn't need this today.flyor64 said:Dude take the d-word to the clinic where a particular thread was opened to talk this very subject and XC skiing...
You'll notice this thread lies in The Cafe and we're trying very hard to talk about the racing itself, the atmosphere, the problems with public trans to and from, etc etc etc.
I really don't want this thread going over "there"

did anyone watch lady's 10K individual ?
bjoergen was fantastic again. but the day, to give credit where it's due, was won by finnish waxman, it was obvious they got it right with the clister hard wax mix ratios. no other nation placed so densely on the top.
Cobblestoned said:Yes, I did.
When it's about wax - joy and sorrow are close togezer.
Now men's nordic kombi relay. Germany (still) leading. Good wax.
