A commenter asked what would happen if we removed the bonus seconds awarded during the distance events of the Tour de Ski. If we add the bonuses back in we get the following results: While the actual top 12 have remained the same, the order has not. The women see relatively few changes, but not [...] Related posts:
So we just got done with the first competitions of the new year in Schonach, Germany. Its a small little town but with a new hill now and a very hard course. The conditions were very bad for the races and I had some very bad luck in the races as well as my brother. For the first time I had a jump that put me in very close position to points.

Continuing on from my previous post, let’s move on to look at how different nations fared compared to last year’s Tour (click through for full versions): The German men struggled, but mainly that shows up here as skiers dropping out rather than performing poorly. In fact, the one German man who made it all the [...] Related posts:2011 Tour de Ski Preview Tour de Ski Rest Day Recap Tour de Ski Freestyle Sprint Recap
