Wow, what a crazy race! If the mass start events trend toward this kind of stuff, with lots of attacking, I think that’ll only be a good thing for the sport. As it was, the all that action may have turned the results a bit inside out from what people were expecting. I’ll have a […]

Fairly early on with my race snapshot graphs I switched over with the cross country ones to show each athlete’s results compared to all their […]
Also tagged biathlonThese 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 […]
