Event: UKR Gators O Cup #5
 

Johannes Klaebo is a monster. I highly encourage watching the men's 4x10 km relay; on the anchor leg, Klaebo skis a brilliant tactical race, casually hanging on to France and then OAR, then absolutely obliterating both of them in the last 2 km. A total assassin. Special shoutout to the Norwegian wax techs, but I feel bad for anyone in a head-to-head race with Klaebo. I wish Klaebo had started a minute back of the lead, because it would have been amazing to see how much time he could have made up. Watching all this skiing makes me wish I were more competent at skate ski; these skiers can fly.

I watched the CBC coverage, and while the Canadian announcers were enthusiastic, it paled to the ecstasy of the US commentators. I can't watch the NBC coverage directly from Canada, but the audio of the last 100m is spectacular.
