womens relay
I don't get why Vibeke Skofterud is starting the first leg. Is she skiing
classic better than Marte Kristoffersen? Vibeke didn't look that great in earlier races even though it was freestyle. Key for me is whether my girl Therese Johaug can keep up with Virpi Kuitinen (who I think has the most exquisite classic form) even though Virpi hasn't been crushing everybody like 2 years ago. Therese just has to give Kristen S Steira a reasonable chance when she starts leg 3. How weird is it for the Swedish coaches to put Kalla in leg 3 instead of the anchor? I guess Ida Ingermarsdotter did better in the individual sprint event. If the track is soft with tons of new snow, Kalla may break away because she has the best subtle touch in skating technique. If the track firms up Marit Bjeorgen will kill it on the finishing kilometer. Maybe somebody who can read the Aftposten(sp?) website can shed some light on the team selection? |

Norway don't expect them to win at all, we're just hoping for maybe a medal. Terje -- - Terje.Mathisen at tmsw.no "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |

Skofterud has a habit of going out hard and posting leading times
early, before fading. No doubt Norway is hoping she can keep it up for 5k. Gene On Thu, 25 Feb 2010 00:59:53 -0800 "shreddir" wrote: I don't get why Vibeke Skofterud is starting the first leg.
