WBC Men’s Pursuit
Not much commentary on this one, just the graphs for the top skiers and the Americans. First the leaders: I don’t have much to add here except that Arnd Peiffer is having an excellent World Championships so far. As for the Americans: Nothing spectacular, I suppose, but not terrible.

Another day, another impressive win for Petter Northug. I didn’t get to watch this race, but so far no one has figured out a way to break the race up prior to the final few kilometers. I’m not sure the pace was exactly slow, but there was certainly a ton of skiers packed close together. […]

Kowlaczyk is probably the consensus choice, but based on some of the commentary I’ve read so far, I feel like I’m less surprised […]

Once again nothing spectacular from the North Americans, but nothing truly horrible either. Here are the Americans: That’s a pretty average race for Freeman. His best efforts this season have been just above -2, which would likely have just put him in the top ten today, and I mean that literally: he would have been […]
