Nordic Skiers Blasting Up The Downhill Slopes

Stage 7 Ladies from CrossCountrySki.us on Vimeo.


The Norwegians finished 1-2-3 in the Tour du Ski, but not before an all out sprint at the top of the Alpe de Cermis with a gal from Finland. It was another great day for the Americans getting two finishers (Liz and Jessie) in the top 15.  The only other nations to accomplish this feat were Norway and Finland, and after all, we were without our best racer (Kikkan) who was doing a training block for Sochi. After watching this video you will understand why folks often say that nordic racers are the fittest athletes on the planet.
