[Contrabra]

Absolutely the best skier when it comes to classic style. Great technique, lovely relaxed flow.

btw, why is the czech reporter saying kuitunenova?!?!?! LOL that's so funny.. like...can't he read? :D

[rixalillu]

i'm sorry i sound like a broken record, but this race will go down in history as one of the most superior performances ever. this was AMAZING. i remember watching it and i was in shock. i love her so much!

[rixalillu]

yeah, the 'flying' term is very describing! i so wish she's gonna do well this season, and win an olympic gold medal. that's the only prize she's lacking and boy does she want it! i believe she's gonna be unstoppable in classical this season that could be her last, she's stayed healthy and strong. i can't wait for the season to kick off!!!!! let's all cheer together for her <3

Contrabra & rixalillu => i deaply agree wtih you both! i don't have to say nothing else, because you've said all already ;-)

and about her classic techique.. we all know, it's the best in comparation with the others girls around her. Like she would be flying above the snow! it's just so tender and relaxed.

[rixalillu]

it's sad it was only 9km, who knows how big of a difference she could have made in the last km.. i've never seen a performance in skiing that could equal to this amazing stunt! we here in finland are so so proud of her!! i love her !!! i'm just so sad she had both neurological and metabolism problems after the tour, if she hadn't had them, she would have won the overall, i strongly believe.

You must be a real genius and all knowing cross country skiing history expert. LOL!! My history book says that Virpi has one conviction not two. My history book also says that Saarinen has never been convicted of any kind of cheating activities. Yes Virpi made one huge mistake 8 years ago but there are not one single proof that she is using any kind of illegal substances again. These two Finnish girls are just superb. Are you jeloaus maybe??
