Caitlin Compton (CXC) won the women’s 10K skate, over a minute ahead of teammate Maria Stuber.
Today started out on a high note with pancakes made by Matt, Pete, and Kate. We topped them with nutella, strawberry jelly, pineapple, grapes, raspberries, kiwi, and bananas, along with a drizzle of yogurt (from a carton) on top. In a word they were…...

Well I have to say its been nice to be home, in one place, for the past couple weeks. Days have been filled with training, resting, a little work and of course some play. After recharging in one place for a while, my schedule for the second half of th...

There was no doubt who was the strongest man in Sunday’s 20 k pursuit at the World Junior Championships. Germany’s Markus Weeger won the race the hard way, attacking halfway through and maintaining a 20-second advantage over a small group of chasers all the way to the line. Russia’s Konstantin Kuleev was second, outsprinting Finland’s Perttu Hyvarinen. The 19-year-old Weeger, who hails from near Nuremberg but trains in the ski mecca of Oberstdorf, collected his...
Good thing Jessie Diggins has perspective. Sure, it doesn’t hurt that she’s only 19, with plenty more international racing in her future, including a trip to the 2011 World Ski Championships later this winter. But still, some athletes would be bitter, disappointed, or downright pissed off to crash out of contention in a big race they had a shot at winning.

divMade it to Ostersund Sweden! Its looking really awesome over here, the skiing is simply outrageous. Everyone around here is so into skiing and it shows even around town. The bus stops have nordic posters plastered all over them and the trail system ...
Michael Sinnott (SVSEF ODT) won the men’s 10K classic at Michigan Tech by a good second to Adam Katey (Big Thunder), while Maria Stuber (CXC) won the women’s 5K classic by almost 5 seconds over Carolyn Freeman (UWGB).
The single most dominating performance on the first day of Biathlon World Youth and Junior Championships came in the second race on Saturday, the junior women’s 7.5 k sprint. Dorothea Wierer of Italy shot clean to win the race by over a minute. It wasn’t an entirely surprising result: Wierer has contested every Junior Worlds series since 2007, and won a gold medal in Ruhpolding in 2008 and one in Canmore in 2009. And of...
