After the first couple of races we already see some front runners on the women's side. Ella Halvarsson looked good in the single relay. Ingrid seems to be going well, very quick. Justine was also fast. Lou Jeanmonnot impressed, a strong contender for the WC and her comments after Julia's muscle problems makes me feel there is a lot of rivalry between them. Elvira was impressive on her skis compared to Julia even before the cramp. Doro shows signs of recovery after last year.
@@BrianHalligan-USA The French commentators are saying Elvira won't make it through the season at this level. Doro looking good though, another top ten in the overall and maybe a few podiums if she can shoot clean.
Once last season was in full swing, France didn't have any more team or legal drama, with Julia and Justine even having an embrace during the Worlds. Julia's loss in both the pursuit and mass-start globes was solely her fault. Regardless, she was already the World Championship Queen.
Well, Botn didn't make the WC team for Kontiolahti so there goes that prediction 😅🤷🏼♂️
My wildest prediction: Campbell Wright wins a world cup race and does a Haka - would love to see that!

IN; Vittozzi, J.T.Boe. SP; Simon, J.T.Boe. PU; Tandrevold, Dale-Skjevdal. MS; Jeanmonnot, J.T.Boe. Ovr; Simon, J.TBoe
If you saw the Norwegian opening you saw that Botn messed up, maybe it will be Sørum in Finland.
It will be, Botn is only 2nd reserve for Norway, I think
Let's go Lisa!!
