Nice results for KF (as usual) and LF according to the latest Fasterskier report. Agree with you that KF, TK, and AN are world class, but in the context of of World Cup relay saying we have 3 of the fastest skiers in the world isn't accurate.

But more importantly, what happened to the relay team?

Did we get lapped? Someone drop out? Seeing as Japan finished two teams it doesn't make sense we were lapped since we had three of the fastest skiers in the world on our four man team.
