Wenn nur das Beste gut genug ist / When Only Best Is Good Enough.

First Time At Blink, Johannes Klaebo Puts On Display His Brutally Effective Downhill Technique

Newsfeed

Johannes Høsflot Klæbo, the most decorated male skier of our times, shall also be remembered for decades to come as someone who revolutionized the technique. His trademark " diagonal uphill running" is now being emulated even by 12 year olds - to chagrine of ski purists. The true world class athletes, however, are trying to master less obvious but oh-so-brutally effective way the 23 year old Norwegian goes downhill, winning himself meters and split seconds with each move. On Friday Klaebo has shown that it's not about how good his snow skis are waxed - it's all in technique. Competing at Blink Skifest Sprint for the first time, he gave the opposition no chance on downhills - and that was a joy fo watch. Photo is courtesy of Rune Helliesen/…

Fossesholm Is True Star-In-Making. Why Is She Allowed To Put Her Life At Risk?

Newsfeed, Trivia

Helene Fossesholm is a huge talent - something she just proven coming 3d in the Blink's Lysebotn uphill. But why is she allowed to bungee jump?! https://www.instagram.com/p/CDZWKMjp-Z6/?igshid=1vavkc7pjzd9z You would argue that nobody could prevent a legally grown-up, 19 year old woman from doing what she wants to do. Yeah, sure. Nobody could stop, say, Rob Gronkowski either. Except it in his contract with the club it clearly says " No taking part or engaging in any activity other than football which may involve a significant risk of personal injury.” With a similar or even more explicit language present in most ( probably all - but we can't be certain) contracts in serious professional sports. Sure, Gronk makes a cool $9 mil./ year - the territory best skiers haven't quite made…

Top Rollerskier Launches His Line Of Dietary Supplements

Newsfeed, Training & Outfitting

At least two thirds of elite athletes use dietary supplements, according to one oft-quoted study. And if athelets use these products, sometimes referred to as “ergogenic aids”, themselves it would be outright weird if they didn't partake in the promotion. Not on the market worth a whopping USD 120+ billion globally. Cristiano Ronaldo promotes Herbalife and Tom Brady the whole wellness / nutrition system called in case you forgot, TB12™. And only in the xcskiing hitherto nobody was pushing her or his line of products. Well, the skiing doesn't lag behind on that trend no longer: https://www.instagram.com/p/B-9k8B-otQb/?igshid=1566ma6atmexw Dmitry Voronin might not be a household name for every ski fan on the planet , but it's a very respected name in rollerski sprint circles and those of nascent superspint. The Russian…
