After reviewing yesterday’s sprint race in Drammen, Norway it’s time to get caught up on the distance racing action from the day before. And lucky for you I’m going to use some new graphs that I’ve been working on for a while. They’re similar to the biathlon graphs I introduced last week, with a few […]

And what a race from Alex Harvey, much better sprint race for him. I have the heat times again, so an analysis of those will be in the works for tomorrow…

A hearty congrats to Daniel Rickardsson and Marit Björgen, although some might say that they are now very unlikely to win a gold medal at World Champs. Oh well!

First a rough look at how each performance stacked up in terms of FIS points: By FIS points, that’s about as fast as Arritola […]
Also tagged beitostølen, Distance, liz stephen, morgan arritola, percent back difference, recap, womenA number of Americans and Canadians participated in some big FIS races in Beitostølen, Norway this past weekend. Not all the results have migrated over to the FIS site yet, so I’m just going to focus on the classic distance races from Saturday. We should keep in mind throughout that, from what I’ve read, many […]
Also tagged andrew musgrave, beitostølen, Distance, fis points, ivan babikov, recap, simi hamiltonThese graphs will look the same, but I tried something a bit different for these. Mass start races in biathlon are similar to those in cross country in that they tend to lead to tighter races and hence lower percent back values than in other race formats. So I’m trying out restricting these versions to […]

First up the men: These graphs stretch back into the prehistory of sprinting, so keep that min mind. The Italian men kind of came out of the barn dominating sprinting (or whatever you want to call the “sprinting” events that existed back in […]
