What Gear Finnish Teenage Sensation Niilo Moilanen Is Using

What Gear Finnish Teenage Sensation Niilo Moilanen Is Using

Newsfeed, Training & Outfitting
On the opening day of the FIS Junior World Championships Niilo Moilanen,19, didn't win - he pretty much destroyed the competition by winning each of his runs with a huge gap. While the Finnish coaches now must be agonizing over bringing or not a teenage sensation onto already strong sprint team for Oberstdorf, we take a quick look at what stood apart - Niilo's gear. Stood apart because with this level of talent top gear makers must be craving Niilo's attention - yet he is using relatively modest brands to such a great effect. Does it mean anything? Not itself - just quite remarkable. We are hear to entertain you, after all [caption id="attachment_17827" align="alignnone" width="1601"] Peltonen Supra [/caption][caption id="attachment_17828" align="alignnone" width="1920"] 4KAAD Black Code X Generation Blue [/caption] [caption…

Junior World Ski Championships – Why Is It Needed This Year?

Junior World Ski Championships – Why Is It Needed This Year?

Leaders, Newsfeed
Why is the FIS Junior/ U23 World Championships even needed in these times of Covid, when travel restrictions are abound while spectators are not present and the general mood, at least in Europe, is rather "locked-down" to sour ? We asked top coaches who brought their teams to Vuokatti: [caption id="attachment_17814" align="alignnone" width="1920"] Justyna Kowalczyk-Tekieli, Poland:- We feel confident with all those disease-spread preventing measures taken by the organizers,feel safe. On the other hand, the guys & the girls were working hard all year to compete at the JWSC. We can't just stop living - the competitions should go on[/caption].

Beginning Of February, Bolshunov Wins World Cup 2020/21

Beginning Of February, Bolshunov Wins World Cup 2020/21

Newsfeed
There is no mistake in title: a 24 year old Russian retains his World Cup winner title season. After his double victories in Falun, Bolshunov currently has 1613 points. The only skier who could have - very theoretically - overtaken him is fellow Russian Ivan Yakimushkin, but on Friday it was announced that Yakimushkin is skipping Ulricehamn stage to better prepare for the World Championships in Oberstdorf. Clearly, the decision of the Norwegian ski federation to abstain from many World Cup stages played the role. Having said that, Bolshunov looks almost unstoppable this season in any distance race and more than confident in sprints. Congratulations, Alexander - great skiing, weird season or not!

Redster S9 Gen S: One Size Fits All From Altenmarkt

Gear News, Newsfeed
Atomic Redster S9 Gen S are different, trust us. Right off the bat: if reading about "supreme stride efficiency" and "enhanced power transmission" is your thing in life - we'll direct you to the manufacturer's website , Atomic does a very good job of concocting good sounding and , no doubt ,scientifically supported things here We just give you a rather superficial impression with a bit of a practical twist: [caption id="attachment_17716" align="alignnone" width="1920"] - they are really one-size fits-all. Atomic brands them as 183 cm but in reality it's more like 175. Which means you won't have any trouble fitting it into your VW Golf[/caption] [caption id="attachment_17720" align="alignnone" width="1920"] - being so short they feel fit for all sorts of off-tracks exercises and are extremely nimble on downhills of…
