Mpeg Races Otepaa
Missed the womens race myself so we have to get along with a short clip
of it instead. The Sunday sprints got cancelled due to a storm that blowed the roof of houses in Sweden at least and then moved over to the Baltic countrys.

So much for the new equipment == faster theory..... Some reflections on the subject? Janne G |

So much for the new equipment == faster theory..... Some reflections on the subject? Well... I feel much better now. ALL my equipment is from about 90 to 96. :-) I did just get a new pair of Yoko gloves though. -Mitch |

They don=B4t make skis like they used to anymor?:-) But, seriously, what struck me was that Fischer skiers made a clean sweep of it: all six guys in the victory ceremony brandished those ugly yellow skis! I=B4m absolutely no expert on this subject (either), but I think this must be something for the record books! Anders |

After the finish, you can see Verpalu's skis have the red RCS lettering
from the late 90s -- and he's holding them up to the camera. Don't know if it's related, but the flex on those was somewhat more traditional (vs. the 812s or whatever # they are) and Oteepa is a hilly course.

I missed all the races.
That same wind took off half my brick chimney and the TV aerial with it. Mike |

I think you are onto something - when did Fischer launch the "revolutionary wax pocket innovation"? But I think the very special conditions had as much to do with the very soft track conditions on manmade snow, but it=B4s true one needed a ski that was skiable uphill and fast on the ensuing downhill. (OK, that is not greatly unlike a decription for what one needs in *any* race, but in Otep=E4=E4 the decription fit perhaps better than ever...) OTOH (and FWIW) although Marit Bj=F8rgen won on Fischers, Kristina Smigun appeared to suffer. It could she had chosen a later vintage, though. Anders |
