Norwegians And Russians Keep On Winning – Here Is Why

World Cup stages won since the beginning of the season up to & including January 3d 2019: Norway -15 Russia – 6 Rest of the World – 5 Of note: the Norwegians had six different skiers winning thus far and the Russians had five ( a lion share of Norwegian victories occured thanks to two big talents: Therese Johaug and Johannes Klaebo). So, it's safe to say that both countries have become "serial winners"- something that can't be explained by a presence a mega-talented prodigy in the team as is the case with Sweden. The question that we were always interested in is How? Here's an attempt to explain, based on months of observations - and some "photo evidence". ...Now, if you happen to be one of those believers in…

Best Portraits Of 2018. Part 2

Newsfeed, Trivia

..While putting together a previous story on the subject it quickly became clear that there are too many good pictures worth publishing from the outgoing year. Almost all were taken before, after or outside training & competing ( there are a few exceptions). We do see it as our role as online media to show skiers as humans, as personalities, rather than medal-winning machines. Enjoy - and tell us what you think.

Supersprint Is Coming To Continental Europe

Newsfeed, Travel & Mass Sport

Dear cross country skiing purists - please read no more ( you, likely, stopped reading anyway, upon seeing the title of this story). Yes, we do realize the competition format we shall be talking about here is a far cry from the sport of tough woodcutters, gliding through forests using time-tested diagonal style. Sorry. To all the others: rejoice! The fastest growing competition format in cross country skiing has crossed the seas and is coming to Continental Europe: Say hello to the first ever König Ludwig Lauf Superspint If you are still a tad fuzzy as to what it is - here's a vid explaining it all & featuring the format's biggest international star, Ludvig Søgnen Jensen a.k.a Ludde. Again, we are, probably, preaching to converted here, but in Norway…

Hans Hubinger , Legendary Designer Of Fischer Skis, Recommends

Gear News, Leaders, Newsfeed

Hans Hubinger is a legend. The only reason he's not a household name compared to, say, Marit Bjorgen or Dario Cologna, is the fact that in skiing names of equipment designers are not very well published & advertized. Something to learn from Formula 1 here, really. Anyway, we are here to fill that gap. Here's Hans' ( very abridged) resume: - Bridge-building engineer by training, has joined Fischer Sports in 1986. Yes, folks – that's 32 years ago! - Had participated in pretty much every Fischer skis' development & design including such masterpieces ahead of its time as Fischer Revolution of 1990s - Originator and chief designer of Speedmax and its Cold Base Bonding technology. BTW, Bjorgen and Cologna mentioned above won most their golds on Speedmaxes. [caption id="attachment_9222" align="aligncenter"…
