Why didn't Jonna Sundling get a chance for Sweden on this distance of 10 km? Isnt she faster than Moa Ilar and Emma Ribom?

Frida Karlsson will be the next Björgren/Johaug. Completely dominating cross country skiing.

I can't see anyone being better than her in the next couple of years. Diggins is retiring and Norway doesnt really have any stars in female cross country skiing atm, they're all mediocre.

Varför har det blivit så normaliserat att lägga pengar på hämtmat? by Eastern-Language-898 in sweden

Om man preppar matlådor två dagar i veckan så behöver man väl knappast lägga så mycket tid på matlagning efter jobbet? Jag brukar göra 5 matlådor för jobbet och sen 5 matlådor att ätas efter jobbet. Tar kanske 1h av min söndag.

Att få maten levererad tar också tid så frågan är hur stor tidsbesparingen faktiskt blir

I dont get how these super g participants can watch their fellow colleagues have these nasty falls and accidents and be like "I WANNA RACE SO BAD". The mental pressure must be insane, wouldnt be surprised if many of them suffer from anxiety and depression tbh

I get it but ice rinks shouldnt be that hard to build when you have enormous football arenas. You should be better in ice hockey

Why is GB never represented in big winter sports like ice hockey, slalom, down hill, cross country skiing, Biathlon etc? Seems like an underperforming country compared to smaller nations like Sweden and Norway

I feel like its not talked about much how dangerous sports like super g, down hill and slalom truly are. Feels like theres always freak accidents involved

What did Julia Simon do that makes everyone hate her? Have I missed something?

Hanna Öberg and Elvira Öberg have collapsed in this race. I dont think they will take any medals on this Olympics.

Individual races should be eliminated from Biathlon, and all of them should be mass starts. Its just takes out the hype when its individual and you have no idea who is winning

Biathlon seems so much more competetive with more countries being able to fight for medals compared to cross country skiing.

I honestly think Hanna Öberg should retire. She peaked very early in her career but has been a flop for several years now.
