I doubt Cologna will get much glory in the Olympics he is strong all round and stable but he seems to lack the last little finish that will enable him to win maybe a medal but no gold.

Harvey is a really interesting skier, his sprinting is a little weak but other then that i think he is a potential world cup winner in a year or 2.

I believe Simen Østensen will be the surprise this year he is a very good sprinter and has also showed he can do great distance races. In the last seasons he have struggled after doing some training mistakes.

For the Olympics i find it hard to believe Northug will win both the 50k and 30k there just no one who can beat him in a sprint and the relatively easy course will make it all but impossible to get rid of him before the sprint.

I don`t think Hattestad will repeat as sprint champion dont have a good reason for why i dont believe in him but well i just do not
