Semi 3 was fast, but Tessa misses out by 2.3 seconds I think.

I think Simone got the 2nd lucky loser spot in 8:46.6, and Tess was 8:52.3. Close, but not quite.

I think that is right with Ida Bobach between Simone and Tess in 8.50

What's happened to Murray?

He did not qualify for the semifinals (Top 24). 13 secs off qualifying time with Mr Street 6 secs off.

[Spookster]

Having squeezed through in 8th, just watch Simone win it now!

Meanwhile, I was looking forward to an all Swiss final in the mens, but in SF1 they only came 3rd and 4th. WOC champion M.Kyburz might not make it...

Edit: and in SF2 the Hubmann brothers have tied, but in 2nd and 3rd, in a slower race, so only one of them can go through. Time to look at the photo finish...

[madmike]

SF2 looks like it is going to be slower so M.Kyburz still in with a Simone-like chance. All on SF3.

[madmike]

Is that a tie between Hubman and Hubman? Do they both get 2nd?

[RS]

Was looking at the IMT1

[Spookster]

Is that a tie between Hubman and Hubman? Do they both get 2nd?

Right now they're both 8.32 but I think they'll publish the tenths, and then we'll see.

What's happened to Murray?

He tweeted

just a couple of small misses and a failure to get into top gear. Frustrated.

and

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgh #didnotqualify #knockedoutbeforetheknockout

[madmike]

SF3 looks to be the slowest so M. Kyburz may be OK

edit: but not if Hubmans get joint 2nd!

[madmike]

2 x Matthias miss out but will it be Hubman 2 or Kyrbuz for the last place, or will they run 9?

[Spookster]

Strange. They had published the Womens semis results with the tenths displayed, but actually they've all reverted back to the "full seconds" results now. And none of the Mens semis results have had the tenths published.

But anyway, I reckon 3rd and 4th from SF1 go through, and one of the Hubmanns is out (unless they are inseparable, in which case I guess they could put 9 through).

They can't not put M.Kyburz through when he ran 8:25 against the Hubmanns tied 8:32.

No. No GPS, intermediate results barely working, and "video" not available when you try to watch live TV. Rubbish.

[mikey]

Live (Swedish) TV worked perfectly for me- good races - the youngsters came to the fore on the last hill to the finish.

[mharky]

the link they put up on the NORT site wasn't correct, if you went onto SVT website directly it worked fine.
