Stars of 19/20 For You To Look At. Part 2 – Men

Once again: the word "star" in our parlance does not just mean "the one who wins". Rather, it's the one who shines both on and off the tracks. Luckily for the sport, it's one and the same currently. Or, more accurately, two and the same since we have two amazing athletes who will surely take their fight for the title of the world's best skier to the new level [caption id="attachment_13797" align="alignnone" width="1920"] triple Olympic, triple World champion, the winner of the Crystal Globe of the last two season at the age of 23.

Stars of 19/20 For You To Look At. Part 1 – Women

Leaders, Newsfeed

And we mean what we sayin the title of this story: these are those who will star among the skiers. To be one these days it's not enough to win races. Clearly, it's a big part of it, hard to become an object of mass fascination if you keep in finishing at the bottom. But to become a proper star, you have to build a presence outside the tracks, to do and to say things people would notice - and luve or hate. Luckily, most of the World Cup's top contenders are just like that: [caption id="attachment_13771" align="alignnone" width="1920"] Therese Johaug is a red-hot favorite to win the Cup these year and for a good reason: when it comes to distance racing she's from a different planet compared to the…

Gear News, Newsfeed

You do know what Salomon's Kilo is, right?! If on off-chance you haven't heard of the Kilo, here's a brief explanation offered by the Salomon Nordic boss, Nicolas Stamos: " The Kilo Program is where specialty ski shops can order on customer's demand skis that are hand picked at he factory according to a very narrow corridor and according to the exact specifications. So you get skis picked exactly according to your own preferences among thousands. Top selection! Also you can get the same grinding we propose to our World Cup athletes.

That Is How Many Collabs Klaebo Did This Year – And Why His Are Of Totally Novel Kind

Leaders, Newsfeed

There is nobody like Johannes Høsflot Klaebo. Never was in the history of skiing. Ans we are not talking his crazy Olympic and world titles' count for a guy aged only 23. We are talking about his mass appeal. The world did know popular skiers but it would be fair to say that nobody, not even Therese Johaug or Petter Northug, could be compared in volume of buzz that surrounds the skiing's youngest Olympic champion. And that buzz has quite a material side. Since the end of the last season a 23 year old Norwegian super star: - launched Hufs hair product line https://www.instagram.com/p/BzqfQflBEmI/ - became a face of Abilica training equipment line https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5ITHvImHIY&list=PLXmLfJZ3LlLXgPyBRufdjiB1veqJU6Xuw - continued his cooperation with international giant Hoka One One [caption id="attachment_13537" align="alignnone" width="1080"] Clifton 6…
