With just over one kilometer to go, Dolidovich was cruising along comfortably in second place when disastrous sprint relay at the Olympics two seasons ago, the Byelorussians failed to score a single point in the team event this past year.

Last year in Mounio the warmest wax we used was in the blue range so this year’s packing list lacked many of the warmer waxes and the unseasonably warm weather here has quickly drained our small supply. The ski shop in town is also not accustomed to stocking a lot of warm waxes at this [...]

Asian Winter Games, held in Almaty, Kazaksthan. The event was not classified as an FIS race, but did feature some top Kazak and Japanese skiers in addition to the Chinese.

The Chinese also have their...

this group, which made a pretty decent video, or the two team sprinters who have been battling for positions on the World Cup, it’s a possibility that down the road they will become a regular presence on the circuit.
