Kontiolahti 2022 Week in Review Pt. 2
General Thoughts from Kontiolahti 1)Racing is back! This isn’t a long one but its the most important one. We had racing again.

January 24, 2022 Power Rankings
As a reminder I’m actually doing things a little differently for this week as we head towards the Olympics. Since several members of the top 10 are out either for COVID or for training/rest in the buildup to Beijing I am going to freeze the rankings right where they are. The lists 1-10 won’t beContinue reading “January 24, 2022 Power Rankings”
