Mini Tour de Ski
Does anyone have news of this?
From the Italian News I think its at Bormio with three WC events to close the season and to provide a WC Grand Finale but I couldnt make out if its this year or something proposed for the future. |

This has been on the books all season (from the XC calendar: http://www.fis-ski.com/uk/604/1228.h...suchsector=CC), but it looks like the FIS just started a big PR campaign. For the XC portion at Santa Caterina, see http://www.grandfinals2008.com/calen...untry_eng.html Details of the "mini tour": Friday, March 14 14:00 - 2.5 Km Freestyle Prolog/Sprint (Ladies) 14:45 - 3.3 Km Freestyle Prolog/Sprint (Men) Saturday, March 15 14:00 - 10 Km Classic Mass Start (Ladies) 16:00 - 20 Km Classic Mass Start (Men) Sunday, March 16 14:00 - 10 Km Freestyle Mass Start (Ladies) 16:00 - 15 Km Freestyle Mass Start (Men) I think this is pretty interesting. Two freestyle events in the last three days is a recipe for ensuring that Kalla and Bauer win the overall titles... |

Kalla is not a sprinter. Ulvang Vegard commented toward the end
of the TdS that he could skiers were tired and the new snow slowing everyone down because distance specialists like Kalla and Cottrer were up front in the sprints. tassava wrote: On Feb 4, 3:40 pm, dardruba wrote: Does anyone have news of this?
