Neumanova led all the way, winning by 26 secs. She, Savialova, Follis
and Kalla (5th) really turned it on the second lap, while Steira
faltered, dropping from 2nd to 4th. Bjoergen looked completely out of
sorts, with climbing rhythm off, little glide, and falling while
snowplowing the hard downhill (everyone was plowing and holding on for
dear life), finishing back 22nd, almost 2 mins behind. Virpi Kuitunen
sat out to rest her back. The top US skier was Lindsay Weier in 52nd,
3:10 back and 15 seconds behind the top Canadian, Daria Gaiazova.

Although the address was .fr, the announcers were the usual English pair
of Goldstrum and Mike Dixon. Tomorrow night the men's 15k interval
start freestyle. 1 am ET?
