Daily Skier At Oberstdorf 2021: Madshus’ Green Sensation

Madshus has created an instant sensation when its highly regarded but hitherto internationally unknown skier raced to the podium in 15k F in Oberstdorf. Beating in the last 2k Bolshuhov himself! Striking feature of Harald Amundsen's gear? Green base of his Madshus Redline 3.0! [caption id="attachment_18021" align="alignnone" width="1824"] Madshus is tight -lipped about their innovations and new materials. Let's say we at Dailyskier.com had no pre-warning something so efficient and visually striking is coming despite being in close contact with the Norwegian manufacturer[/caption] [caption id="attachment_18022" align="alignnone" width="1421"] The racing conditions in Oberstdorf 15k F: subzero Celsius at night but around 12 at the race start, overcast and, perhaps crucially, no salt used by the organizers to keep the tracks firm on that day[/caption] [caption id="attachment_18019" align="alignnone" width="1818"] Same uphill, one…

Leaders, Newsfeed

Oberstdorf 2021 so far was/ is about temperatures changing from minus 3 Celsius to plus 15 C. (Plus the rain on Saturday morning) Add that half of the course is more or less firmly in the shade while the other half is exposed to the sun. Then remind yourself that Skiathlon at Oberstdorf is about preparing both classic and skating skis. Then you shall fully comprehend that the race on Saturday is the test of ski specialist mettle like probably never before.

Daily Skier At Oberstdorf Meet Stars Of Tomorrow

Leaders, Newsfeed

We all want to look into the future. When it comes to the future of skiing - it's already here, in Oberstdorf. No secret that elite athlete's training changed a lot in the last decade. Back in 2011 a picture of a female skier doing a set of pull-ups with weights chained to her legs would baffle, perhaps horrify any coach - now it's a routine. Champions become stronger, more coordinated - and younger. It's not like young talents never made it to the World Championships: a 18 year old Yelena Vyalbe came to the one held in 1987 (also in Oberstdorf) and a 18 year old Therese Johaug even won a medal at her debut. The difference is, back then teenagers were expected to grow and mature through the…

Daily Skier At Oberstdorf 2021: Russia In Camouflage

Newsfeed, Trivia

Not sure anyone would even understand what's going on were she/ he to be shown the photo we put in the headline a mere year ago. Let us help you to decipher: [caption id="attachment_17939" align="alignnone" width="1527"] Two Russian skiers, wearing FFP2 masks, that are compulsory in Bavaria, pass by the camouflaged Russian wax truck at the Oberstdorf World Championships [/caption] FFP2 masks are compulsory for everyone and everywhere at the championships - with a notable exception of actual athletes on the tracks, both training and competing. Camouflage on the Russian trucks and vans is a different story: according to the recent decision by the Court of Arbitration in Sports (CAS), Russian athletes could take part in the world championships but the country's flag, the coat-of-arms, the anthem and even the…

Hot Kinda Skiing In Oberstdorf

Newsfeed, Trivia

It's +13 Celsius in Oberstdorf. Some even say + 15, but who counts when it's that balmy,right? Oh, and you've got race starts close to midday. And roughly half the distance exposed to sunshine and half in a shade. So it's going to be a lot of fun for ski waxing specialists, little doubt there. Meanwhile, the main actors of the upcoming Oberstdorf 2021 look kinda chill. Some have already started to strip down... [caption id="attachment_17903" align="alignnone" width="1778"] There's unwritten rule that French (male) skiers start stripping down first: cue Richard Jouve and Renaud Jay...[/caption] [caption id="attachment_17902" align="alignnone" width="1920"] Maicol Rastelli of Italy is not far behind...[/caption] [caption id="attachment_17901" align="alignnone" width="1494"] Ditto for Denis Spitsov of Russia. Note that Sergey Ardashev who just came from frosty Vuokatti prefers to keep…
