You follow every winter damn sport schleck? 
I personally only like biathlon and cross-country, all the others are boring imo  I watch them if I have time.I don't watch alpine skiing that much though.But for example I watched Svindal's Super G win in Lake Louise last week. |

Norway might have won the 14 first cross country races of the season, but today Federico Pellegrino and Stina Nilsson won the sprint races.

Deserved wins for Pellegrino and Nilsson in the sprint.
Ustuyguv was by far the strongest in the mens race but a clumsy fall meant he was out of the battle. Pellegrino was probably the second strongest overall today so good win for him.
Really happy with the slalom race and Henrik Kristoffersen beating the consistent Hirscher!
About biathlon; what a letdown by Svendsen, getting so smashed by Shipulin on his stage. I wonder if he'll ever return back to his amazing 11/12 form again.

Meh,I wasn't able to watch the races this weekend.But I was able to watch the mens relay in biathlon where Shipulin smashed Svendsen .They should have made Tarjei Boe as last one racing.
Tarjei Boe was 3rd in sprint and 4th in pursuit.He was pretty fast in the pursuit race.I think he gets better when the distance is longer.But also could have been because of the bad conditions in sprint race if there were any.I didn't watch any of them.Also Schempp took a good win in sprint race.But Fourcade won pursuit race again.
Another knockouts by Johaug and Sundby.Northug is missing the last bit.Cologna is looking terrible.
Also good wins from Pellegrino and Nilsson in sprint races.
Also Peter Prevc takes the world cup lead
And two more good races from Hirscher
Good wins for Vonn and Vlhova
Kristoffersen also got a good win |

Overall a good weekend by some strange things.
Svendsen fading....lol. I thought 10 sec will be far enough for him.
Freund jumping weak. Also the team A of Japan missing, maybe they training for 4HT. And Doman Prevc remaining home to going school, nice. Ohh, and hes replacement, Damjan, just meh.
Nortthug not catching the top30 in the sprint, wtf.
So, a nice weekend 
For fans. A question. Only me, or Oestberg from Norway doing a Marit Bjoergen? Starting as a very good sprinter and then concentrating for the longer races. (i remember when Bjoergen doing the same and gaining the leadership from Bente Skari MArtinsen who did the same way, earlier a sprinter, tnem an overall racer) |

Guys, here's an idea - why not just name the thread Winter sports?

Prevc brothers got double in ski jumping WC competition in Engelberg (Peter won ahead 16-year old Domen, this is the first situation like this in WC history), Kasai was 3rd (he is still great jumper, he moved up from 12th to 3rd after great jump in second round) . Stoch had bad performance in second round and finished the competition at 20th place. |

Remember that Cene Prevc is also one of the Prevc brothers, so should we prepare to three brothers on podium in future? |

Happy to see czech female biathlon team doing so well this year, four girls in top 25 of world cup, that is unique for us. Men team though, they are terrible. At least my legend Ole Einar is doing great this year.

Ski Jumping
Total annihilations by Peter Prevc.
And superb podium by Domen Prevc
Cross-Country
Meh.Joahug and Sundby win distance races again.
Good wins from Falla and Pellegrino
Nordic Combined
Moan still has it!
Biathlon
Another good win by Schempp.
And good race by Tarjei Boe in pursuit.
And disappointing race by Tarjei Boe in mass start.But Johannes Thingnes Boe was 8th.I thought he would have been terrible in the mass start as well.
Also great win by Makarainen.
Alpine Skiing
Great to see Lara Gut win.Svindal and Hirscher are winning as always. |
