As at least one reader correctly guessed, the skier I was referring to in my previous post was Johann Mühlegg. Probably the biggest hint there was the implication that I was talking about a skier who continued racing after ~1998-1999 and reached the podium after that time. Or in his case perhaps we should say […]
Also tagged johann muehleggAnother episode of mystery skier! Â Below I’ve graphed the seven seasons of major international distance results for a (very famous) skier in which they recorded at least one top ten result in each season, but never a podium finish. The athlete in question did race beyond 1998, but I’ve omitted those results. Â (That’s a bit […]
Also taggedWell I guess that quiz wasn’t quite as popular. Â I suppose it was a bit harder than I thought. In any case, the race in question was the women’s pursuit at the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics. Â That means the top five was Beckie Scott – Mystery Skier D Katerina Neumannova – Mystery Skier C Viola […]

Â Your job is to identify the medalists and for bonus points the […]

Also tagged pietro piller cottrerThe following graphs are the results for a currently active cross country skier who has the longest active streak of at least one podium finish (WC, OWG, WSC) in a distance event in each season. Â Their streak currently stands at 11 seasons. The ages on the x axis should narrow it down a ton, obviously. […]
Also tagged podium streakFive mystery skiers, all women.  For each skier, their very next  (distance) race is a WC, OWG or WSC race.  Which of them are going to finish on the podium (top 3) in their very next race? To make things a bit more challenging, I’ve omitted the x axis labels (which is date, not age), […]
