(Press release) BRIDGEWATER, N.J. (October 12, 2017) — BTE Fitness Group (“ThoraxTrainer™ gives me something extra that I cannot achieve on skis, roller skis or other training. It has improved my skiing substantially, and ThoraxTrainer™ is an important key to my success.” Seraina Boner Pro skier, Team Gel Rossignol “ThoraxTrainer™ gives me the final edge to my physical shape and is an important part of my comeback among the best in the IBU World Cup.” Michael Rösch Pro Biathlete, Germany...
The 2016 Ski Classics kicks off this weekend with a doubleheader in Livigno, Italy, and the marathon regulars are chomping at the bit to get started with the long-distance race series.
Sunday’s 50-kilometer classic race Jizerská Padesatka near Liberec, Czech Republic, is the next event in the 2015 Swix Ski Classics long-distance circuit and racers are eager to hit the tracks after a long break since mid-December.
Seraina Boner, the best female marathon skier in the world, was focusing on the Vasaloppet. But then she realized she could go to the Olympics. This week she found herself holding her own in the team sprint, and then notched 9th place in the 30k skate, the best Olympic result for a Swiss woman in nearly two decades. "I can always do the Vasaloppet next year," she said.
Seraina Boner, a former Swiss national team skier, has transformed herself into the best long-distance skier in the world. Whether training with Team Coop in Norway or jumping in with Dario Cologna in Davos, she’s working towards a Vasaloppet victory - the one big thing that's missing from her resume.
Stanislav Rezac (CZE) edged out competitors in a thrilling sprint finish into Birkebeiner stadium, while Seraina Boner (SUI) wins with a comfortable margin of almost a minute.
“This was madness,” said the Swiss racer Seraina Boner, referring to the incident between her and Sandra Hansson at the König Ludwiglauf in Germany last weekend.
Sandra Hansson’s violation of fair play during the 2011 König Ludwiglauf in Germany last weekend shocked FIS's Vegard Ulvang, but not just because of Hansson’s behavior. The handling of the case outrages both Ulvang and others.
