Vilken tönt han är

@elgitar500 Haha hva forventer du?

@davd1986 LOL No problem - and I wouldn't dream of changing your opinion! Discussions are more interesting that way ;-)
I totally agree re: double standards penalties. The problem is that Rickardsson's was disproportionate and wrong. And then they got scared with Northug. I'm with T. Mogren and Hjelmeset who think the fairest thing would have been to take his bonus seconds, which is what he won out of it
Btw, others skated off track last Sunday and got no penalty/warning at all....

@Rayhaneh28 Good point, but I am not gonna change my opinion, lol. As they say, 'to each his own,' and I have every right to express my opinion, just like the country of Sweden today. It's all good man, just fun and games. I would hate to look like a Polish fan, so you will have to excuse me if I did sound like one! I don't like what FIS did today and Northug's finish. They essentially slapped his wrists, while Rickardsson's tour was destroyed by the same rule/penalty. Double standards.

@davd1986 And well, you have to let fans be fans - of course they are not going to be objective about these things, but that's what being a fan is all about, isn't it? :p We all have bias from the moment we are passionate about something - those who say they don't are either lying or dellusional (except us Swiss fans, of course - everyone knows WE are totally objective *cough cough*)
What matters is that you respect also the athletes you don't support - and their fans as well

@davd1986 Come on, I think pretty much everyone agrees, even his opponents, that he is right now the best XC skier in the world :D When everything comes together (shape, skis, luck), he has a margin above the rest recently (in long distance - he's definitely beatable in sprint races). However, these margins are small among top athletes and things can change very quickly
And well, I don't think Morilov would be upset that they didn't write "crush" :p No one crushed anyone yesterday in final

@davd1986 PART-5
Love him or Hate him, he will still be Petter Northug, the entertainer, 6-time Junior World-Champion, the 7-time World-Champion, Two-time Olympic Champion, winning the Overall World-Cup, 13 victories, 26 podiums + 8 Tds stage win, and last but not least holding record for youngest cross-country skier to win a World-cup victory. In addition, being renamed as the KING of the previous three championship. Simply one of the greatest cross-coutnry skier the world have ever seen :)
Красава Колян!!! Россия РУЛИТ!!!

Morilov won by a shoe length, that's why he didn't crush him.
