That is one sick sprint. Northug certainly has the best sprint in a
situation like this.
why can't he seem to do it in a big mass start race ? You would think
that would be his best type of race !?

I'm trying to get the link on NRK to work now, but it seems not to
load up...

This year his results past 5k haven't been very good. You probably
noticed how quickly he was dropped on the skate part of the pursuit
Saturday.

He can indeed do it in big mass start races, it is just that this season
he started sick, then never allowed enough time to recover properly.

This is pretty common pattern, particularly with young & eager racers,
right? :-(

Anyway, he'll be back in seasons to come, at least until that blistering
sprint capability starts to wear thin.

Thanks for this video! Patrick Winterton is an excellent announcer.
For those who notice odd details, it looks like in the women's relay
Marit Bjoergen was wearing second generation bumblebees. Wonder if she
had to change into S-Labs quickly at the end.

Could you have mis-identified Marit's boots?
Most likely it is the new Fischer boot ready to be sold 2008/2009. They are
black with a big yellow stripe down the side.
Fischer spent the last two years developing the new boots. Some people liked
the old Centrix boots, but there were people who had various issues.
Marit has continued to use the Fischer boots the whole time. I'd be
surprised if she switched to something different, just when the new boot is
out in the public.
From the pics on Fasterskier and TeamToday, every one of Marit showed her
using a Fischer boot and NNN.

I saw an ad photo of the new Fischer boot the other day and you're
probably right; it looks similar in color.
