Thanks, Men’s DP Video is a great visual comparission of rolling vs. on-snow DP.
Both the men and women DP shows both wheels of roller skis lifting of the pavement at sprint levels of effort. Would this be a case where energy is being wasted in too much upward movement? The Men’s on-snow DP shows heels lifting, but skis seem to pretty much stay grounded.
