Race Snapshot: IBU WC 4 Women’s Sprint

Race Snapshot: TdS Classic Mass Start

As we would expect, a late in the Tour mass start race with a reduced field results in some unusual FIS points.  I’ve adjusted them, as before, using Equivalent Percent Back but ultimately races like todays are simply a different animal so we should be cautious about making comparisons.  Still, things shake out more as […]

Race Snapshot: Tour de Ski Handicap Pursuit

I’ve opted not to adjust the points on these, despite their being a a bit abnormal.  I think the performance comparisons are clear enough without making any alterations.  But, as you can see, there was definitely some concerted skiing in groups today.
