Skiers, July Shirtless Edition

Leaders, Newsfeed, Training & Outfitting

Yeah, because it's very hot to wear anything covering a torso. But also because the elite skiers these days have bodies so well conditioned that Myron of Eleutherae would beg them to pose for one of his sculptures were he to live today. Remember, the ancient Greeks honored the athletic body as a symbol of extreme discipline, tenacity and overall civilizational superiority. Living twenty five centuries after talking about superiority of any kind would be uncouth, of course... So, how about calling them a "source of inspiration / object of emulation" for the rest of us? These are the skiers' bodies honed and shaped by hundreds of hours of extreme physical hard work [caption id="attachment_12019" align="alignnone" width="1920"] Ivan Kirillov[/caption] [caption id="attachment_12017" align="alignnone" width="1920"] Evgeny Belov[/caption] [caption id="attachment_12014" align="alignnone" width="1920"] Andrey…

XC Skiing Massively Lucked Out With Klaebo Brothers

Leaders, Newsfeed

Yes, it did. In today's world, to be a champion in whatever sport is desperately not enough. Having a shy, reserved, introvert champion is detrimental to that sport's effort to stay in the media limelight and to attract investments/sponsorships. The august sport of cross country skiing has been lucky - its biggest star is also a true international fashion icon on the rise. But the king is made by his entourage. It looks like Ola Klaebo sacrificied his potential illustrious skiing career (his older brother's assessment) in order to help build Brand Klaebo. Talented families are often talented in many ways - Klaebo YouTube channel run by Ola is a great example of how so much could be achieved with so little investment ( but a lot of effort). Johannes…

Love Thy Fan

Gear News, Leaders, Newsfeed

A short spontaneous meeting. A simple gesture. No, we don't know his name or his story. It's just a moment the lense caught in a short pause between races. And she was in a hurry. Yet she stopped and talked and listened. As any great athlete meeting her/his fan should. ... We know, we observe two types of athletes: those who do understand and do act like Therese on this photo did. Those are many, a majority - and we are always happy to take and share the pictures of fans' joy from interacting with their hero. Yet there is minority who don't. Either they are too concentrated on the next race or simply too are tired - but they run away as fast as they can immediately after their…

Thus Trained Bolshunov This Morning…

Leaders, Newsfeed

Here's this morning's training regimen of the world's leading distance skier: - 1h15m road bike - 1:15 classic rollerskis on dedicated rollerski track i.e. with uphills/downhillls - 1:15 skating rollerskis on the same track - 1:15 trail running, medium to hard terrain For the total of 5 hours. No pauses between sessions , maximum fast equipment swap. All in 1-2 pulse zone ( but to a casual observer it honestly looks like a competition tempo, especially on classic rolllerskis). There is obviously a second training session of the day after lunch and, possibly, a warm-down job in the evening. To be clear, the rest of Yuri Borodavko' s training group did exactly same - we single out Bolshunov for obvious reasons that he's the most successful in the group in…

Holmenkollen Changes Back To Individual Start

Newsfeed

Hello, yesterday! From 2021 Holmenkollen 30/50k race, the only long-distance competition on the World Cup roster, is going back to being an individual start race. It was that in the past but since 2009 it's a mass start, alternating between classic and freestyle. Let us guess: ski purists will love it, less discerning/younger crowd - not so much. TV bosses - even less so. Pictured: start of 30k C at Holmenkollen-2019
