I sit here and try to read some studies, but can not concentrate seeing that the qualifying rounds in sprint are running now (for men). All Swedish participants are further, as yet, exciting of course, Sprint may not be the most exciting competition - but is it winter sports, then it is!

Today

The ladies are running the 10 km classic race in just a moment, the gold medal is inaccessible to all participants except one: Marit Bjoergen - she is amazing! However, I hope of course that any of the four Swedish girls can reach the top 10 at least, it would be great however to see Kowalczyk (Poland) beat Bjoergen and get a gold medal in this World Cup. Also, please! What have happened to the Russian party?

Watch live (begins in 10 minutes)

A thriller that nobody had foreseen!:o
This is incredible sport! My body just shivers as electric shocks, continuously through the entire competition.

Marit Bjoergen shows again that she is about to become one of the greatest athletes in winter sports ever on the women's side. Congratulations! However, I feel very sorry of Jystina Kowalczyk from Poland, who time after time remains in Marit's shadow, silver for silver. She apparently did'nt want to talk about her opponent in her interview with Swedish television after the race, although she says she is happy for her medal. I sincerely hope that she gets to win, at leaste once during this World Cup. She showed that she could challenge Bjoergen, who was not at all equally superb today as she usually is. WHAT A FIGHT!

Otherwise, the Finnish ladies did an incomparable achievment in this race, four Finnish names among the top eight over the finish line, which bodes well for the women's relay on Wednesday. What, however, I can not say for our Swedish team, who did not impress or show the capacity that we know exists. It is frustrating!

GOLD: Marit Bjoergen (Norway)
SILVER: Jystina Kowalczyk (Poland)
BRONZE: Aino-Kaisa Saarinen (Finland)
