Great day for North America, overall. Â Fantastic races by Kershaw and Harvey and strong efforts by Freeman and Randall (for a classic sprint, not her specialty, certainly not Freeman’s). Â Newell probably isn’t thrilled with his 12th place, given how much stumbling around it sounded like he did during the semis, but it’s not a terrible result for him.
On the international side, the men’s semis were dominated (in numbers, if not the results) by the Russians and Swedes. Â Norway can’t be thrilled with that. Â As usual, more diverse on the women’s side, with Majdic finally shaking off whatever was holding her back earlier in the season. Â Also, Krista Lahteenmaki is quickly becoming an interesting skier to watch. Â Will this be a one season hot streak, or will she be a superstar in a few years?
