Bjoergen and Kowalczyk
Perhaps Terje knows more, but the report on fasterskier about Marit
Bjoergen states that her success at the Olys and in general this season stems from the decision to go back to a standard training approach this past off season, i.e., lots of distance (volume) and less intensity. No more of a Helgerud style interval block-centered regime. In addition, the decision to lay off the Tour de Ski and the post-Tour events is playing a big role too. OTOH, notwithstanding Kowalczyk's criticism of the Olympic course for lacking a big climb, I have to wonder if her focus on winning the World Cup, and thus a lack of a serious rest break at any point, is coming home to roost.

PS. Here's my tip for tonight: Petter Northug, in front of Dario. Oops!!! I've just watched a perfectly executed tactical race by the Swedes, bravo! Petter seemed a little more tired than usual, but kept up until the last km when he got a broken pole at the worst possible moment: He did get a new one, but lost some seconds and much worse, his rhythm and never recovered. :-( Terje -- - Terje.Mathisen at tmsw.no "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |

From fasterskier.com: "Skari is in Whistler as a member of the race jury. That body is currently involved in a minor controversy stemming from yesterday’s women’s pursuit, when Norway accused Justyna Kowalczyk (POL) of skating too early in the transition. The case affects the Norwegians because Kowalczyk edged Kristin Stormer Steira (NOR) in a photo finish. Norway didn’t lodge a protest, but Skari said that the jury already examined the incident and ruled that Kowalczyk didn’t do anything wrong. “What [Norway] can do now is make an appeal, and they are welcome to do that,” she said. The Norwegian television station NRK reported this morning that its country’s team will make its decision on an appeal after today’s men’s pursuit." |
