It is well known that athletes from a specific region or country are dominating certain sports disciplines such as marathon running or Ironman triathlon; however, little relevant information exists on cross-country skiing. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the aspect of region and nationality in one of the largest cross-country skiing marathons in Europe, the “Engadin Ski Marathon.” All athletes ( = 197,125) who finished the “Engadin Ski Marathon” between 1998 and 2016 were considered. More than two-thirds of the finishers (72.5% in women and 69.6% in men) were Swiss skiers, followed by German, Italian, and French athletes in both sexes. Most of the Swiss finishers were from Canton of Zurich (20.5%), Grisons (19.2%), and Berne (10.3%).

Bringing the Birkebeiner Legacy to Life at the Birkie
For Immediate Release Contact: Nancy Knutson 715-634-5025 [email protected] Bringing the Birkebeiner Legacy to Life at the Birkie Descendants of Founding Birkie Skier Selected as 2019 Birkebeiner Warriors & Inga Hayward, WI (February 23, 2019) – The American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation is pleased to announce the selection of the trio of cross-country skiers who will depict two Birkebeiner Warriors and Inga, the mother of baby Prince Haakon. On February 23, 2019, William Andresen (Ironwood, MI), Carolyn Andresen Warren (Ironwood, MI), and David Andresen (Ironwood, MI) will portray Torstein, Skjervald, and Inga, respectively. Each year, in homage to the legacy of the race, a trio reenacts the historic trek of warriors Torstein and Skjervald, and Inga (mother of Prince Haakon) on wooden skis and in full costume along the entire 55K classic American Birkebeiner cross-country course. Inga and the Warriors will carry a baby doll along the race course, and pick-up a real baby “prince” prior to skiing down Main Street to the finish line. The portrayal is a true celebration of the roots, legacy and traditions of the race. What makes this year’s Inga and Warriors selection all the sweeter, is that the trio are the descendants of Karl Andresen, one of the original 35 founding American Birkebeiner skiers from 1973. Karl’s son, William (Torstein), skied in the first Kortelopet at the age of twelve and has since racked-up a total of seven Kortelopet races and eighteen American Birkebeiner races. Karl’s grandchildren, David (Skjervald) and Carolyn (Inga), have never experienced a year without a Birkie, including skiing in eleven Barnebirkie races each.

2011 American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation
2016-2017 American Birkebeiner Ski Foundation Board Candidate Profile Information Candidate Name: Ian D. Duncan Address: 137 Nautilus Drive City: Madison State: WI Zip: 53705 Home Phone: 608-233-0962 Other Phone:_608-514-5596 (cell)__ E-Mail Address: [email protected] Years of Membership in the ABSF: Not sure Occupation: Professor, UW-Madison Please respond to the following question. Why are you interested in being a member of the ABSF Board of Directors and what knowledge and skills do you possess that can benefit the organization? In the early 1980’s I read about the American Birkebeiner while working as a research fellow at McGill University in Montreal. I had taken up cross country skiing in Montreal and had done the Canadian Ski Marathon a few times as well as the Riviere Rouge race. I was looking for a job and while UW-Madison was trying to recruit me, the thought of skiing the Birkie tipped the scale. Well, thirty two Birkie’s later, the race has become a major part of my adult life. My family is also involved and my older son is a Birkie skier. This year I was reminded of the special place of the Birkie when listening to WORT in the comfort of my condo as the 6-hour plus finishers were interviewed. The thing that impressed me most was the joy and enthusiasm of the many young male and female competitors who despite their exhaustion, laughed and recounted the fun of the race and that they would do it all again, ‘Now that’s something worth preserving and promoting I thought!’ As a veteran ski racer both in the North America and in Europe where I have done the Norwegian Birkie and the Marcialonga I know what it takes for a ski race to be successful (apart from good snow!) I ran the Birke Skiers for Cure Program in 2009-2012 and raised over $300K for MS research.

Despite the vast amount of research focusing on this sport, no review has yet addressed the pacing strategies of elite XCS racers or the factors that inﬂuence their performance. The aim was to review the scientiﬁc literature in an attempt to determine the effects of pac- ing strategy on the performance of elite XCS racers. Methods: Four electronic databases were searched using relevant subject headings and keywords. Only original research articles published in peer- reviewed journals and the English language and addressing performance, biomechanics, physiology, and anthropometry of XCS racers were reviewed.

50Th Anniversary of the Engadin Skimarathon
MUSEUM ALPIN PONTRESINA VIA MAISTRA 199, CH-7504 PONTRESINA www.pontresina.ch/museumalpin [email protected] Special Exhibition: 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ENGADIN SKIMARATHON. The success story of the largest cross-country skiing event in Switzerland In 2018, the Engadin Skimarathon takes place for the 50th time. To mark this very special anniversary, numerous activities look back over the history of this tradition-steeped race from Maloja to S-chanf. In addition, the entire Marathon week in March is accompanied by a varied programme. A special exhibition at the Museum Alpin in Pontresina from December 2017 to October 2018 pays tribute to the jubilee, while a photo exhibition in the renowned St. Moritz Design Gallery, housed in the Serletta indoor car park, also illustrates the 50-year old history of this cross-country skiing event. Films, exhibits, eyewitness accounts and numerous pictures evoke memories stretching right back to the very first race. Museum visitors can watch the ski marathon on a huge screen, almost as if they were experiencing it live. The idea of staging a major public cross-country race in the Engadin was repeatedly discussed during the second half of the 1960s. Although cross-country skiing was relatively new, it quickly became clear that it had an exciting future ahead of it as a public sport. However, at that time, nobody could have foreseen that the Engadin Skimarathon would one day become the largest cross-country skiing event in Switzerland and even the second largest in the world. The path from the initial idea to the first race being held proved to be a long, upward climb, for all kinds of obstacles had to be overcome along the way.

A Humble Beginning
For Immediate Release Contact: Nancy Knutson 715-638-2637 [email protected] American Birkebeiner - A Humble Beginning The year was 1206 and Norway was in the midst of a civil war when Birkebeiner skiers, so called for their protective birch bark leggings, skied through the treacherous mountains and rugged forests of Norway’s Osterdalen valley, smuggling Prince Haakon, the son of King Sverresson and Inga of Vartieg, to safety. The flight took the Birkebeiners and prince from Lillehammer to safety in the town of Trondheim. Inga of Vartieg never became queen as the prince’s father was killed before he could return for her in Vartieg. Norwegian history credits the Birkebeiners’ bravery with preserving the life of the boy who later became Norway’s King Haakon Haakonsson IV and forever changed Northern Europes’ history by his reign. The story and painting of the flight were the inspiration for the first Birkebeiner ski race held in Norway in 1932. To this day, Norwegian skiers still carry a pack, symbolizing the weight of an 18-month child, in the Worldloppet’s Norwegian Birkebeiner Rennet race. The American Birkebeiner began in 1973 as the dream of the late Tony Wise. Thirty-four men and one lone woman were on the starting line clad in woolen sweaters and knickers for the 50-kilometer race from the Lumberjack Bowl in Hayward to Telemark Lodge in Cable, Wisconsin. Nineteen more women and juniors would ski a shorter race from “OO” to Telemark. Few knew they were going to make history. Each year, in homage to the races roots, two Birkebeiner warriors and Inga, ski the entire Birkie course on traditional wooden skis and in full period costume inspiring fellow racers along the way.
