Race Snapshot: IBU WC 8 Women’s Sprint

Nation Trends: ITA, FIN, GER

Now for the sprinting versions of the graphs from my previous post. First up the men: These graphs stretch back into the prehistory of sprinting, so keep that min mind.

Otepää Sprint Recap

As always, heat time data supplied by WorldOfXC.com. Beginning with the men: Ola Vigen Hattestad went progressively slower as the day wore on, though often there are tactical reasons for that depending on the speed of your heat.

Race Snapshot: IBU WC 6 Women’s Mass Start

Haven’t checked her skiing time, but five misses probably isn’t what Laura Spector was hoping for today in the range. Better luck next time!
