12:10 p.m
Four Confederates
Since the resignation of Dario Cologna almost a year ago, the Swiss have not been at a high level in the long-distance area either. Cyril Fähndrich (car number 27), Candide Pralong (28), Roman Furger (29) and Beda Klee (38) could be very satisfied with a place in the top 20. Let’s see if one of the Swiss is up to the task on the day.
12:00 p.m
An Austrian
It looks really bleak at the ÖSV. The only participant is Philipp Leodolter (start number 2). The 25-year-old from Upper Austria has not yet achieved a top 50 result in the distance World Cup and is making his World Championship debut today.
11:50
German quartet
Janosch Brugger (start number 23), Jonas Dobler (25), Lucas Bögl (31) and Friedrich Moch (52) are at the start for the German Ski Association. The latter is to be estimated the strongest. The 22-year-old has what it takes to finish in the top 10. From a German point of view, nothing more can realistically be expected.
11:40 a.m
middle distance
The men’s cross-country skiers’ fourth set of medals at the World Championships is at stake today in Planica. What yesterday the women organized over ten kilometers, the men do today over 15 – with a single start in free skating style. To do this, the 100 athletes from 39 nations will start at 12:30 p.m. on a course that is exactly 15,045 meters long. It moves between 882 and 996 meters in altitude.
