These guys are studs ... the Olympic 50k

Thirty-one miles and over 6000 feet of climbing in 2:08!  The Finn, Niskanen, broke away at 17k and kept on going. It was an exciting race to watch as the gold/silver medals were not decided until the 49k mark, and a pack of four skiers two minutes later, fought it out for bronze. American Scott Patterson, has had a great Olympics,  but his showing yesterday was something of a breakout performance.
