World Cup Skiing: 100 Days Away

We're just 100 days away from the start of the distance World Cup cross country skiing season: on November 19-20, Beitostølen (Norway) will host four events: women's 10k and men's 15k classic-style races on the 19th and men's and women's relays on the 20th. It should be a good opportunity to see who trained well all summer long and who might be on form for the Olympics, which open in 83 days later in Torino, on February 10 (182 days from today!).

(The sprint racing season opens almost a month earlier than the Beitostølen races with men's and women's individual and team sprints in Düsseldorf on October 22-23.)
