cartman said:I'd definately think Harvey and Manificat will have a go at it. Vylegzhanin as well, he's looked good on the duathlon and the relay. Legkov was terrible yesterday, so I guess he's one that we wont see anything from. What do you think about Jauhojärvi or any of the other Finns, think they'll go for it?
cartman said:Yeah, apparently he got some pants in a knot across the border.
Personally i found it OTT, but it's good to see that most of the teams brushed it off. (With the exception of Germany) Would be cooler if he demolished them in 'Hellnerbakken' and did a Dæhlie 360 or backwards at the line. Think he could've pulled it off, Hellner didn't look too good and Angerer wouldn't have been able to follow either. He certainly showed once more that he's got awesome power.
Earlier today I read that Tarjei Bø is going to take a 360 as a tribute to Northug if he gets the chance to at the pursuit. I'll be watching Tarjei.

Libertine Seguros said:He didn't get the chance, he got another bronze, behind Martin Fourcade and Emil Hegle Svendsen. The three of them and Arnd Peiffer were clearly the class of the field, finishing a minute up on everybody else, Fourcade doing so despite an extra miss!
Nastyy said:Cologna has been disappointing as well. Wonder what has happened to him and Perl. Both were looking good in the last World Cup races.
Scirea said:Btw these Norwegian people are crazy. Slept beside the court to get good places, madness. I respect them though.
