I was really hoping for a better performance from the USA women. Diggins and Sophie didn't seem to have that spark. Maybe it was skis? Jessie's skis didn't look amazing but the skis always are fast when your body is fit! Does anyone know why Sadie Bjornsen didn't get a start in the classic sprint?

Klaebo is in a class of his own. He won the prologue by about 3 seconds. That may not seem like much, but 3 seconds is HUGE at that level. It would be so fun to be him; to just be able to make everyone respond to you.

I found it disappointing that the mens final was 1,2,3 Norway. They are just better than everyone and also seem to have better (but not hugely better) skis. It adds insult to injury when the fittest athletes show up at the start line with better skis than everyone else. At least Bolshunov didn't podium; I really dislike that guy.
