The fans from all parts of Slovenia as well as from Germany, Austria, Czech Republic, Finland and Norway followed very exciting competitions. The final days are also expected to be spectacular. Friday mass start, Saturday women relay and Sunday men relay. The weather conditions in this winter are against competitions on snow and it has been repeated again in this week, but the organisers won against hot weather. The tracks are perfectly prepared, but the snow is of course softer.
Every competitor wishes nice and hard courses, but there is also something good in the bad.
The conditions are now different and it could be right and in favour to the teams and competitors specialised for wet snow. Magdalena Forsberg has certainly best skis for this conditions, said her trainer. She is leading the World Cup, she was 6 in sprint, bronze in pursuit and gold in individual. The World Championships need also surprises like the gold of Paavo Puurunen in men individual. Thursday was a day free of competitions, the last in the ten day program.
