It was kind of fitting to hit the adjacent key just there, isnīt it? And it probably was an apt punishment for my lack of empathy:-) Bajcicak wore bib number 37; the even numbered ski change slots run in one file and the uneven in another, like this: 30 32 34 36 38 40 42 44 46 29 31 33 35 37 39 41 43 45 so he got the file wrong. IMHO this is the kind of error that is bound to happen every once in a while, just like orienteers picking up the wrong map or biathletes shooting at the wrong target. BTW Bajcicak doesnīt appear to have fared too bad with Imaiīs skis: he finished 19th. His DQ meant that the best Finn climbed up one position, giving Sami Repo one (1) World Cup point. *This* was pure comedy... Anders
