Kind of a rough day for the Americans today in biathlon, but some solid Canadian results. Brendan Green and Scot Perras both had good races as well as Zina Kocher.

I think there were high hopes for Kris Freeman in today’s 30km, particularly after yesterdays monster article in FasterSkier, but I still suspect he’s likely to do better in 15km events. Still, not a terrible race for him at all, and a good day all around for the North Americans. Once again, though, the women’s [...] Related posts:Marit Bjoergen’s Best Freestyle Race Race Snapshot: IBU World Cup 1 Women Race Snapshot: IBU WC 1 Men/Women’s Pursuit
Today was the first competition in Ramsau, Austria. I was going in with some high hopes and the confidence of my podium in Park City. From the start I knew it was going to be a tough comp on the jumping side, when I saw that we were 4 gates lower than Official training yesterday. Im not really sure what happened on the jump but something didn't go at all right and therefore had a very [...]
Skiing with MargaretWe've got a ton of great snow here in Mazama, WA right now. About 3 feet of snow in our yard.It's a Saturday morning, and for me that means a chance to get up early and ski right out the back door with my wife Margaret....

If people have been trying to check my site, sorry that I have had so much trouble this fall. I am learning a lot about it though! By the end of this, I will be an iWeb expert.br/br/Today we had the first race of a three day series. APU kicked some butt, taking first and second in the women’s skate sprint. Well, tied for second. I don’t know what it is with Holly and those photo finishes, but this time she didn’t get edged out. She and Peri apparently were so close that even with a finish camera, it wasn’t possible to tell who got it.br/Lars Flora was fourth in the men’s race after moving his way up from sixth in the last part of the final. br/br/My race was interesting. After an uninspired prelim that put me in 24th, I led my quarter final until the top of the first hill. After getting passed on the top, I passed the girl back going up another hill and was leading into the final downhill. There, I decided that I was doing too well, and face-planted. I was pretty mad about that, but in the end I still improved my place from the prelim and proved that I was able to go fast. I just didn’t get the result that I would have liked.br/br/Tomorrow’s race is a 5km skate, which should be fun. However, Sunday’s race is the one that I am really excited about. It’s a pretty exciting one because it is 10km classic, and it’s a handicapped start. Usually the end of pursuit or tour-style races are skate handicapped start sections. This time it’s classic! br/br/I am glad to hopefully have my site back up and running now. If you’re having trouble with any part of it, please let me know.
Today was the first day of the three day mini tour in Rossland BC. After last weekends races in Silver Star, the APU team hit the road and headed the four hours east to our current venue called Black Jack for our final races before Nationals.Leading ou...

Once again, many thanks to Skaði Nordic for sponsoring this week’s Week In Review. Here’s what been cooking: Race snapshots from racing since last Friday: the Davos classic WC, the men’s and women’s biathlon WC pursuit, the Davos WC sprint. Finally, another biathlon race, this time the men’s and women’s distance events. Some recaps and [...] Related posts:
How embarrassing is it for our sport that no one seems to be able to reliably count the number of World Cup victories of our best athletes? Here’s the deal. Marit Björgen has attracted some attention lately for the number of total WC victories to her name, which is generally thought to be at least [...] Related posts:
