Cross Country
(Cogne)
Ski wax, legs, lungs. Five distances, varying for men and women. And two techniques: classic and freestyle.
The type of the course, with some incredibly tough climbs, encourages an identification of the discipline with its origins in the Scandinavian territories, as a means of transport across the snowbound scenery.
The cross country competition consists of 12 different cross country skiing events. Women compete in the sprint, team sprint, 10km individual start, 15km pursuit, 30km mass start and the 4x5km relay. Men compete in the sprint, team sprint, 15km individual start, 30km pursuit, 50km mass start and the 4x10km relay.
