WOW! Why don't we just re run the race again tomorrow, have the Norwegians ski on hard wax, while everyone else is on klister....or better yet, why not just adjust the times and have the Norwegians occupy all of the top thirty spots in both men and ladies competitions, I bet Morten Aune would be really happy about by that. I am not sure what he is complaining about really, Northug won for the 169 time, Bjoergen had blazing fast skis, and they are leading by quite a margin in the Nations Cup standings. Good on Dahl for winning last week, but just because he didn't qualify today, doesn't mean that they have to be pissed off at the organizers for it! A little bit ludicrous of them to say that. It's a sprint race for crying out loud, anything can happen on any race, on any given weekend. Grow up dude!

As for the venue i think its great that the world cup goes to new country`s hopefully it will help grow the sport. The organizers will learn in time and they were really unlucky with the weather.
