Diggins a qt
WTF was that on the CBC stream?!?!?!
The guy was describing wtf the skiathelon means considering it is a 7.5km+7.5km race. So clearly it's not straightforward to those who don't understand this sort of event. And they played the official music over the entire explanation... wtf
lmao falseflag
How long does a 15k usually last
Any nippon cuties?
Godd morning
this is a wasp sport
Probably 30-40min for the girls
This is deathmarch on skis, right?
Thanks
40-45 minutes
Do they determine who starts in front by a draw?
The event is scheduled to run for 4 hours
First medal event, so the winner will lead the medals table
Yes yes, we know it'll be you
Go Krista tb h
>tfw forced to watch the Olympics on the tv like a pleb
IT'S CURRENT YEAR I WANT TO STREAM IT ONLINE
why isn't ice climbing an event?
Never tried cross country. Is it fun? I only ever do standard downhill when I go on skiing holidays.
Will the winner have asthma?
30k for women and 50k for men is.
yes
the entire olympics is a wasp sporting event
winter sports, shooting and cycling are the last bastions of the white man
If you have comhem use comhemplay.
...
Watch them do it for five minutes and you'll see how much fun it is. Come back at the end and note how much frozen drool is on their faces.
it could be but then you would have to figure out the rules for an event and how you would rank the opponents
yes, extremely fun. i like it better than downhill. but this is classic style, i like skate a ton more
AND IT BEGINS LADS
Charlotte Kalla from Sweden is the favourite.
finally something happening
>Swiss flag facepaint
Cute!
Doesn't feel like a proper Olympics desu lads
What does 7.5 + 7.5 mean?
It seems there are two sections. i do not understand. Plz explain.
This is actually really cool lol
Better question, how far is 15k?
>cbc/bbc
where? those both say they are blocked in the US
how do you even win if you start in the back
What a clusterfuck
This looks exhausting holy fuck
this is fucking epic. First medals on the line here boys
15 km
do the people who started in the back get some sort of time advantage?
Do we have a chance to medal here?
No, bookies are backing Marit Björgen
which countries are the favorites to win this?
It's probably based on a time trial earlier
a pit stop? do the skiis wear out or something
No, they suck
>race
>set checkpoints
>fastest wins
Only wypipo think this a sport
Norway and their asthmatic lungs
yes diggins has a chance
get a vpn lad
your time only starts when you cross the start line. and then they have to ski that much less
164 football fields
>not watching the Australian coverage
sad tbqh, Australian is the GOAT commentary accent
Norway. Only Norway.
They are to cross country what the US is to swimming.
YES
They switch to Freestyle skiis
Cross Country?
Are they going to ski into North Korea?
Doesn't matter, Charlotte has been the best all season.
No. The migrant child in her womb will weigh her down
I'm assuming there is a little electronic device on their boots or something that let's them know when they cross the start and finish lines. That's what they do for most mass start events.
I believe its actually based on current world ranking
kek
different skis are used in the different styles.
The first ones have a gripping section. The second is all sliding wax.
the second 7.5 is up hill
or i'm probably wrong, and it's this 9.5 miles.
The way there's set lines is weird. Doesn't it mean if the person in front of you is fucking up you'll be held back?
...
9.3 miles
seeding based on world cup points
KALLA
our skiis seem slippy
Just switch lines?
Get a vpn. I suggest the chrome extension Hola. That's what I've been using
You haven't heard of the secret biathlon course? It goes to Pyongyang, only there is a single target for everyone to shoot at.
DEFEAT NORGE
there has to be - that's how the track is groomed and ski works. you can skate off to the side into another track or pass people, just like cycling
Don't know about "fun", but it's very nice. Nice scenery, get to go out in nature, can take things at your own pace, calm and peacefull, and a great workout for your entire body.
