The last few days have felt pretty chill, but today felt real. All of the teams were here, and this morning the stadium and sprint course were filled with people testing fleets of skis and doing race prep intervals with their teams. I haven’t been too nervous yet, mostly just excited for my first European World Cups! I don’t have too many expectations for myself, especially this early in the season. My goal for tomorrow in the sprint is to ski smooth and not rush the bottoms of the hills and see where that takes me.
Chillin. See the homework in the bottom left!

Welcome to Ruka :)
Testing with Karel and Clement
Pre race haircut. Look good, feel good.
We’re hyped to start the season! JC and I start bibs 46 and 49. I think technically Ruka won’t be broadcast live in the U.S., but a VPN or sly YouTube search might be able to yield some viewing.
