With his 10th place finish in Holmenkollen on Sunday, Andy Newell moved into 4th in the overall Sprint Cup standings. He is now just two points behind Petter Northug (NOR), who did not race today. While Emil Joensson (SWE) has locked up the overall, Alexei Petukhov (RUS) in 2nd is still within striking distance, 17 points up. There is only one sprint competition remaining – a classic city sprint Wednesday in Stockholm. As it is...
Spring forward
Garrott KuzzyMarch 14, 2010
Time to reset the watch–and maybe even the calendar. Somehow, we totally skipped spring and went from winter straight into summer today. Yesterday I was skiing on the Birkie trail on icy, hard pack conditions and today I had my mountain bike out and was riding on the roads in shorts and jersey–and it was [...]
Oslo, Norway – The Norwegian men may be lacking depth on the distance side, but in the sprint, they are still blessed with an abundance of riches. Anders Gloeersen won the Holmenkollen freestyle sprint in a preview of the 2011 World Championship course, despite being left off the Norwegian Olympic Team. Gloeersen’s Vancouver chances were hurt by the fact that he is a better skate sprinter – one of the best in fact, as he...
Nicely done.

Norwegian Perfection in Oslo
doogiskiMarch 14, 2010
No one could have written a better script to this weekends proceedings. Four races, four gold medals for the host nation. Today saw another great turnout with around 25,000 spectators and they were not disapointed. Bjørgen kept her perfect record and is now five for five since the Olympics. On the other side of the [...]
Oslo, Norway – Marit Bjoergen (NOR) has been nigh on unstoppable since the beginning of February, and has won every World Cup race since the Olympics. Today was no different though Kikkan Randall nearly pulled off the upset, leading the Norwegian star into the homestretch of the freestyle sprint in Oslo. Bjoergen won both races at the famed Holmenkollen Ski Stadium, and showed no ill effects from yesterday’s 30km. The sprint victory did not come...

SPRING FORWARD

Spring has come with an hour lost - good thing I got a solid 10 hours sleep, regardless. Bad thing that my tulips, crocus and hyacinth have already started to come up (I told them not to). They now have 5 inches of snow over them. Me and the boys (Ca...

So I was figuring I’d wait and do a final blog post on my Estonia trip once I’d downloaded my pictures. But unfortunately my camera was in my ski bag and I don’t think I’ll get it for at least a few more days, so I’ll give a quick update on the end of the [...]
Holmenkollen

Yesterday was rough. For whatever reason my body took a good hour to feel normal. I almost didn't make it that long. The course here is brutal. Pretty much the first 1/3 of the 8.3 k loop we raced is up hill. Then a few more significant hills are mixed...
