The origin of competitive skiing | FIS Cross Country

"Skiing is the rhythm of life, its poetry in motion and its the best way to move" In our newest "Behind the Scenes" we put together a few shots from when we met up with Ulvang Vegard and Thor Gotaas at the prestigious Holmenkollen World Cup weekend to talk about the essece of sport, when competitive skiing began and what elements still can be found today. We will cover the history of competitive Cross-Country skiing, talk about how the sport has developped since it became competitive and what factors have influenced the sport the most when we pick up the "Behind the Scenes" for the upcoming season. Do you have a suggestion for a topic that you would like to have covered in a "Behind the Scenes" for next season? Send us a message with your suggestion and we'll get back to you! #fiscrosscountry Thank you for watching, don’t forget to like, subscribe and hit the bell if you want to be kept up to date with all our latest content.
