Ripp ripped it! And he's a Paul Smiths Bobcat!

Ripp won the 15K mass start and Bobcats won the team sprint.
A dang quadrupler.

Nuthin like home field advantage. Can't tell you how many times I saw the Bobcats training at van Ho.

It looks like part of the uphill mighta been tricky. Saw a bunch go down on the 15K video. Watched it with sound off & 2X speed.

The sprint course, the main climb is a grunt. Middle climb is shorter but there's a particularly steep bit, then a sharp turn b4 you drop in. Descent from that is straightforward in decent conditions. They were talking about salting the race course, IDK if they did.

I'm not sure how she got there, but it looks like Shifrin had a bad line in the corner where she crashed. Hoping she's OK.

The GOAT is back in the saddle again.

Chapeau to Shifrin. Not for nothing, I never did read about an injury diagnosis for her..

Tweaked knee. Nothing torn, thankfully. I’m no doctor.
I’m sure she knows good ones.
Zurbriggen won 2 championships 18 days after knee surgery in ’85, so there’s that too.

She made a Utube of her post crash recovery process.

Great video @tirolski . Glad she's taking time to get right. "Five rest days too many are better than one too few."
