 Poster: A snowHead
|
Well done to Andrew Musgrave for coming 4th in the 50km Freestyle. Coming in to the finish he was at the back of a small group of 6 and put in a charge to finish 4th. He was too far back really to be in the chance for a medal at the finish, but an amazing result.

Watched it on Eurosport. Couldnt believe there was some UK interest in it. Had never heard of him before. Well done!

@ster, I've been following his progress for the last couple of years. Muzzy and Andrew Young are very good.

The Norwegian was Marcus Johnsrud Sundby. He has been the overall world cup winner for a number of seasons and won the Tour de Ski a number of times, but has never won an individual Gold at Olympics or World Championships, so given that he had missed out again, and was also on his last legs, nearly falling a couple of times in the last straight, it is probably understandable. However, I don't think he realised that Musgrave was finishing so fast. Pity Musgrave had not been slightly better placed up the last hill, or he might have medalled. Fantastic result and bodes well for the Olympics.

It also looked to me like Sundby might not have realised Musgrave was there. He looks to his left to check if there’s anyone there, but doesn’t see Musgrave on his far right. Moral of the story, always assume that there’s somebody else there! Not that I imagine he really cares about 4th vs 5th.
Great result for Musgrave, he showed good tactics and form throughout the race and though a medal would have been amazing, I hope he’s able to enjoy 4th.

That was some finish and yet another one that proves a race isn't over till you are across the line.

Now Sundby is off the dope he's probably not as quick.
