🇫🇷 French men looking for the last spot (or 2 if Emilien Claude remains out). Oscar Lombardot and Antonin Guigonnat were basically dead even. Lombardot better in the Sprint and Guigonnat in the MS. Paturel was a clear 3rd. Will be interested to see who they pick!

🇳🇴 To round out the Norwegian men’s roster Vetle Christiansen with 2 “B” merits has assured himself a spot alongside Lægreid, Uldal, Sørum, and Strømsheim. Two more spots available. Botn and Frey have the “A merits” from the Sprint and will likely take them.

🇫🇷 That should wrap up one spot for Camille Bened. She’s won yesterday and best all of her competitors for that spot again today. Can’t do better than that. Remember 3 spots available for Östersund, 2 for Hochfilzen, and 1 for Annecy

how awesome is it that both Denmark 🇩🇰 and Belgium 🇧🇪 have women that can go battle it out with Norway 🇳🇴 and 🇮🇹! (Yeah yeah they are both Norwegians by birth but still)

🇮🇹 Dorothea Wierer is out for Olympic glory and damn she hasn’t looked this good in two seasons now. I am so excited. I have to remind myself to enjoy every step of this journey!

🇳🇴 Geilo Men’s Sprint Thoughts:
- Easy to see who is qualified and who isn’t. Qualified guys taking a longer view. Good example look at Christiansen, Giacomel, and Lægreid. All 8/10. Christiansen 16 sec faster than Giacomel who was 30 sec ahead of Lægreid

🇳🇴 Geilo Women’s Sprint thoughts
- Hello Doro. 7/10 but skied like a monster. She’s on a mission for Olympic medals. Now how does she hold this form for 2.5 months?
- Kirkeeide 8/10 and takes the W. She’s ready physically to be a leader. Now comes the external pressure

🇸🇪 Idre Fjäll Women’s Sprint thoughts:
-Holy Hanna. After dealing with knee trouble this summer was not expecting her to start like this! Would have beaten Elvira even if Elvira had shot clean
-Elvira looked just fine
-Linn Gestblom not only back but on the podium 😳

🇸🇪 Idre Fjäll Men’s Sprint thoughts:
- Sebbe was spectacular. Another amazing 2 weeks to start the season or a true Overall contender?
- Ponsi is Ponsi. Fast but 7/10
- Horn 😳. 9/10 but well ahead of Kaiser and Strelow. WC bound for sure
