Well, as on the World Cup circuit, anticipate they will come from the Alpine countries … Italy, France, Austria, Switzerland, Germany.
However, a more interesting question might be, so what other sport might they come from? Will there be cross-over athletes? Thinking about just the United States, might there be high level Olympic nordic athletes - like Simi H, Scott P, David N or some young guns - who have the downhill and backcountry creds, max VO2, mountain running chops, as well as Olympic level nordic experience to be medal contenders in this new sport?
