Week In Review: Friday August 20th

Here’s what’s been cooking this week on Statistical Skier…

I tried to wrap up the cross-country retirement posts, was told I forgot a few and so tacked on a post for Kristina Smigun-Vaehi.
I snuck in a little cycling graph, showing the riders from this year’s Giro d’Italia who dropped out along the way.
I took another look at men’s cross-country’s rivalry of choice, Petter Northug vs. Marcus Hellner.
I dug a little deeper on the topic of variability in ski racing.
Finally, I wrapped up a long series looking at the development patterns of skiers from different nations who’ve done well (or not so well) at World Juniors. This last one tackled Norway.
