In team sprint, teams consist of two athletes who alternate skiing the sprint course, three times each, for a total of six laps. After an initial semi-final round, consisting of 10-15 teams in each heat, the best five teams from two semi-finals qualify for the final round. Athletes must perform a correct exchange between laps by physically touching their teammate without interfering or obstructing other teams. The winning team is the first team to cross the finish line after the completion of all six laps
I stayed near the stadium today, boy what a day to witness some great skiing and fabulous tactics. If you haven’t seen the final two laps try to download to see it WOW.
As a Canadian I had to wonder if our skiers could match their best results and be in the mix.
