Possibly the most controversial pick for the 2006 US Olympic cross-country ski team, Justin Freeman may have silenced some nay-sayers today in winning the tough 10km freestyle SuperTour race at Mt Itasca, MN. Freeman overcame killer steep climbs, biting cold, and a fast, deep men's field comprised of many of the country's top professional racers as well as club and college teams from the midwest and beyond.
Mt Itasca SuperTour: Justin Freeman Climbs to the Top
FasterSkier · January 20, 2006
In all, there were 150 finishers in the men's race, with many juniors participating in addition to the college and professional racers (see below for some photos). Skiers get another crack at their competitors on Sunday in the form of another individual-start 10km, this time in classic technique.
