Those of us in perfect shape and in the bloom of their life – please, read no further ( at least not just yet). For the rest – here's some good news.

The Russians must have a lot of trust in magic powers of Austrian bovine species: the FB blog of the Russian Cross Country Ski Federation ( quite informative and rather original) has published photos of its legendary manager, 76 year old Yuri Charkovsky personally loading a milk jug from a local farmer in Ramsau, Austria for his skiers at some farm near Ramsau where…

Once upon a time even world class skiers had looked ...a bit like elite cyclists look today. The notion back then was, " skiers don't use biceps much – why carry unneeded weight through the distance?' Well, as one Nobel Laureate once said, The Times - They Are a-Changin' Just look at the current crop of elite skiers who look like they have been trying to take on the young Arnold -at the very least to land on the pages of some "Beautiful Body" mag ( heck - some on the list below did, some more than once!)

Skiers’ Future Careers

Newsfeed, Trivia
Remember the days when top skier's career choices after retirement from big sport were largely consisting of two options: becoming a trainer or becoming a sport commentator on TV? Well, this is 2017 and there is not just more money in sport - more importantly, there are more ways to turn a hard earned fame into a rest-of-the-life career.
