It’s *Make* a mistake.
Not *Do* a mistake.
Make, make, make.

Just one small thing to remember, would help so many! I don’t think it’s so hard.

Excellent analysis though – thank you

I would add to this super analysis some thoughts from the athletes too. What was their impression?

Excellent analysis as usual Jan.

BTW on your progress graphs I would prefer to see time won/lost on each leg to compare to “superman/woman” – i.e. the fastest split for each leg (of the folks under consideration) – this means that even for the winner you’ll see the gains/losses more easily.
i.e. for comparing the top 6 you could compare each of the fastest of their splits as the benchmark rather than the fastest of those 6 (ditto when comparing the whole field).

I included top 6 plus the ones who had higher speed and did quite big mistakes. Grosberga did a very good race, and could probably have been included as well, yes.
