[MsBlume777]

@tiritoget

this was a tv repeat from the sprint, so the commentators knowing that alsgaard had won this game.

[PROKillsAS]

The american commentators is so bad. they go nuts when second and third place goes past first place, but when its a world class sprint between first and second place, they talking shit.

[SKOGEN7]

[kakeper321]

It was an insane finish. Look at the acceleration when he really starts the sprinting. Teichman had a big advantage with coming from behind.

Normally the best thing is to sprint from front, since you have a shorter distance to sprint. But, in finishes like this it is an advantage coming from behind, since you can slipstream.

Too bad Alsgaard didn't have a that good sprint in 1999, when he lost against Christian Hoffmann. But, Hoffmann changed trail during the sprint there.

[Olimast99]

That's right. He had pace to win then too, but Hoffmann did break the rules, tho didn't get penalized for it.

[jonnybravo8]

@kakeper321 Hoffman was a doper. Thats why.

[riKringkast]

@kakeper321 This is skiing, not Need for Speed Underground. "Slipstreaming" has little to no effect during a ski sprint, and whatever influence "coming from behind" might have is purely psychological.

Mid-race however, it makes a huge psychological difference if you're behind or in front of someone.

[kakeper321]

@riKringkast

I disagree with you there. It has a lot to say, especially if you are running downhill. First of all you can ski in the tracks to the person you sprint against. Second, you will get a little less air resistance behind another skier, especially if there is some wind straight against you.

In past I was cross country skier, and I have used that to my own advantage before. So don't tell me it doesn't have anything to say. However, if the leg is straight, that's another story.

[omgwtfpwnsor]

@kakeper321 In addition Hoffman has been caught using drugs, so most likely I'd say that he were on some drugs at that time to.

[anything4funn]

that's CRAZY thomas alsgaard is AMAZING!!

[johninj]

Skulle hatt den med norske kommentatore på youtube

[p0k3Ndi3]

aaah i miss alsgaard sooo much

[BaronBrell]

thats correct.

[Eilif]

Thanks!

You wouldn't happen to have the events before this, when Alsgaard and Teichmann passed Jørgen Brink?

[apexcoach]

Sorry...that's all I've got. From what I remember Brink just completely blew up and they flew by him.

[Olimast99]

Brink got some sort of total blackout. Alsgaard just raced from 2km left and won it.
