people actually watch this shit? How long does it take? do people drop like flies?

...

Dead thread for a dead sport?

It'll pick up in a bit.

I watch it and I know we're never going to fucking win. The Norwegians are almost always a lock for it. Fuckers breathe snow.

Is this like deathmarch?

15km isn't a lot burger

So who's winning this?

>120 people

Yo wtf, is this real?

I run 10km six days a week this is almost a sprint for them right? Fucking Americans I swear...

Someone from Norway

>Timo Juhani Grönlund
>Bolivia
hmmm

It's a marathon on skiis. Me and five people probably watch this in my whole state.

France, Finland, Switzerland, Russia or Norway, most likely

>Tonga chad is last

>run 10k

This is on skis you mutt

pakistan is last.
2 NKers just before that

Ill bet its only me in Virginia

LET'S GO

he was delayed, he couldn't find his shirt

I think they go faster on skis then one would go on foot. Don't know shit about this sport is this a sprint or a marathon?

how long till all of em even leave the gate?

Is it true that people from Norway loves Alex Harvey?

>is this a sprint or a marathon?
Somewhere in between

40 mins

Montana, basically the nastiest place to cross-country skii. I've competed locally but fuck what these guys are doing. Their technique is fucking perfect.

>mfw Iranian woman was over 1:30 behind on the 3:00 min long stprint

Hoping for a Heikkinen upset. He's a world champ on this distance from Oslo

fucking hell

Yeah when its downhill, not when they literally have to "slide" up a slope for 10 miles

MEXICO MEXICO MEXICO MEXICO MEXICO MEXICO MEXICO MEXICO MEXICO MEXICO MEXICO

Yes, he seems like a great guy

I'm pretty sure it's not a marathon like event at all.

It's the shortest non-sprint event

>bald auf
yes, he is

There's a few people here that don't like him because of comments he made in the past and his attitude.

Ok thanks that's what I thought. Amerifats are baffled at the idea that one could parkour 15km by any other means then by car...

Don't know him that well, but he seems likable in interviews. What did the say/do?

no, the 50km one is. This isn't a sprint though, not at all

>parkour

Explain.

To us that's jumping off buildings and shit. Are you just talking about running? Or that we don't know what a kilometer is? Probably both before you say it already.

*he

He was blaming his waxing in the last Olympics if i remember right.

Is this winter death march?

Bad translation of the french word ''parcourir'' I'm guessing.

Thats the 50km one, this is 15km

For me it's Vasaloppet in march at 90 km

Wait for the 50km

Sure, but thats not an olympic event

For me it will be watching Halfvarsson choking again

Announcer kinda sounds like Tony Romo.

yes this
What I meant is that there's like 10 ''is this the deathmarch'' posts ITT and they're all by Americans. It's 15km of course it's not the winter deathmarch. They'll be done in an hour at most I'm guessing and I don't know shit about this sport.

Indeed. It is the largest skiing event in terms of participantes though

Many skiiers do that to be fair

Oh, so it's an arrogant Eastern Canada twat. How much do we have to pay them, to make them go away?

>we want to leave Canada

Please do.

Do any of the biathlon guys compete in this or is it too specialised?

He has looked really poor, hopefully he can do well today

Will the bong win it?

Wax is a huge, HUGE issue but you should have settled that from the starting point. The fuck kind of shit is that where you're blaming your preparation?

Nah, outsider (at best) for a medal

There have been athletes that have competed in both, but not in the same time. The amount of training you put on the shooting makes to weak of a skiier to compete in cross country.

You're probably only going to have the stamina for one event at most. You're fucking spent. Some guys puke blood and shit themselves after this kind of thing. No, I am not kidding.

Probably not but he's honestly not bad. Top 10 wouldn't be shocking

>and shit themselves
Doesn't really have the same appeal if they're wearing full length pants.

>everbody sleeping on Heikkinen and Spitsov
smdh tbqh

Also he grew up in Alaska and literally never lived in the UK.

It's every orifice up in this motherfucker, captain kangaroo.

ayyyo fuck Slovakia

Rarely. Bjoerndalen has won one cross country wc event I think. Lars Berger (former biathlete) could've been one of the all time goat xc'ers, but he didn't like it, so he settled for a life in mediocrity in biathlon. Guys like Thingnes-Boe and Fourcade could probably make the transition.

Who knows, anything can happen. I don't even dare to hope at the moment though.

He finished 3rd in this event in the World Cup just two months ago.

Matti to win!

Still mad?

If Rickardsson wins i win 150.000 sek. Cheer for me bros

Professional cyclists in a grand tour cycle hundreds of kilometres a day for 21 days. Why can't these guys do multiple events day after day?

Like, does Fourcade not have the stamina to race biathlon and skiathlon?

Jeg savner mit kors flag :/

Would be nice with some Finnish medals. Sweden against the other Nordics, but Nordics against the rest of Europe, and Europe against the rest of the world.

>what is Tour de Ski

>Halfvarsson
Is Fullvarsson competing in this?

good joke canada

Proof or it didn't happen

Reminder that Jessie Diggins literally wrote ''Time to go meet the Jamaican Bobsled team!'' on her insta on a pic where she looks gorgeous and has an insta post where she ''dances'' like a black dude to modern ''''rap''''' ''''''music'''''. None of you stand a chance with her she's clearly into blacks.

Nice quads, shame you wasted them being nice to Canada

proof or it didn't happen

Canada is the joke

there u go

Seriously though, who will win?

Dubs and Musgrave wins

anyone /comfy/ here?

BRACKED.

Musgrave already kill

Sigh. She took al of them at the same time, didn't she?

Manificat

...

It breaks my heart too but yeah, she's clearly into the dark fellows.

Let's go Norway!

Just end our suffering.
