Green Light for Sprint World Cup http://www.fiscrosscountry.com Green light for Sprint World Cup Quebec Thursday 6 December 2012 Just a few days from now, all eyes will be on Parliament Hill in Quebec City, where the course is ready and waiting for the arrival of 150 or so athletes from all over the world for the premiere FIS Cross-Country World Cup event in the province of Quebec. Thousands of spectators are expected for this not-to-be-missed event, the first of its kind in an urban setting in the Americas. Set to the spectacular backdrop of one of the world’s most beautiful destinations, it will give visitors the chance to get up close and personal with the international stars! From 7 th -9th December, ski fans will have a rare opportunity to see the elite of the Cross- Country ski world, and even to be in the front row for the competitions. Better still, they can put their skis on and compete on the very same World Cup course as the athletes. The organizing committee could produce almost 10.000 m3 of snow in the past weeks thanks to cold temperatures. “Our team started to spread the snow in front of the Parliament last Saturday and will be working hard until the competition to make sure the course is in perfect condition. The Sprint Québec Village is also starting to be prepared and will be an awesome stop for families,” Marie-Michelle Gagné, LOC’s media relations manager said to FIS Cross-Country News. On Monday evening, Canada’s Cross-Country World Cup team landed in Quebec with Alex Harvey, Devon Kershaw, Ivan Babikov, Len Valjas, Chandra Crawford and Perianne Jones. The North American contingent will not miss USA’s defending Sprint World Cup winner Kikkan Randall who has entered the new season in great shape. The US quartet also made a record in history books as Brooks, Randall, Stephen and Diggins claimed third place in the relay in Gällivare. Spectators can also look forward to a variety of side events at Sprint Quebec Village. They can choose from Chocolate Milk Zone with comfy chairs, cool music, a warm and welcoming sports atmosphere, and—naturally—chocolate milk to in Cross-Country Skiing at Iniski with Rossignol. With a track designed especially for children, Rossignol specialists will be on hand to teach younger ones all about the Cross-Country Skiing. Competition Schedule Quebec City Friday, 7th December Ladies/Men Team Sprint F Finals 20:00h CET Saturday, 8th December Ladies/Men Sprint F Finals 19:15h CET .

Marit Bjørgen (NOR) has won four of the previous 11 sprint World Cup events in Ruka (all classic style), most of all athletes and one more than Petra Majdic (SLO). Bjørgen's four sprint World Cup wins in Ruka, are joint-most for her at a single venue along with Lahti and Düsseldorf. Bjørgen is on five podium finishes in sprint World Cup events in Ruka, joint- most along with Majdic. Bjørgen has only recorded more sprint World Cup podium finishes in Davos (6) than in Ruka (5). Stina Nilsson (SWE) has won the last three sprint World Cup events (free and classic) and could become the first non-Norwegian to claim four victories in a row since Majdic in 2009. Nilsson has won each of the last five sprint World Cup events she participated in. The last time she failed to claim victory was in the sprint free in Davos on 11 December 2016 (31st). On 26 November 2016, Nilsson won the sprint classic in Ruka, her first ever World Cup victory in classic style. Only Maiken Caspersen Falla (NOR, 10) has claimed more sprint World Cup wins since the start of 2014/15 than Nilsson (9). Last season's sprint World Cup winner Falla has reached the podium in 14 of her last 15 sprint World Cup appearances with a 31st-place finish in Drammen (classic style) on 8 March as the only exception.

  • FIS Cross-Country World Cup Quebec City to Host World's Elite Cross
    PRESS RELEASE For immediate release FIS Cross-Country World Cup Quebec City to host world’s elite cross-country skiers again in 2019 and 2020 Quebec City, Friday, October 6, 2017 – News doesn’t get any fresher than this! With the annual FIS (International Ski Federation) Technical Committee and FIS Cross-Country Committee meetings still underway in Zurich, it has just been confirmed that the FIS Cross-Country World Cup Finals will be coming back to Canada in March 2019 and 2020. “It’s a huge step forward for Quebec City to cement its place on the calendar for two years in a row, said FIS Race Director Pierre Mignerey. “We should stress, though, that the entire race calendars for both years are subject to FIS Council approval this November.” All bets, therefore, are on the world’s elite cross-country skiers taking the Plains of Abraham by storm from March 22 to 24, 2019. “The format of the 2020 event is yet to be confirmed, but the 2019 competition will be the same as what we saw in March this year,” added Gestev President, Patrice Drouin from his seat at the FIS meetings. That means it’s going to be all hands on deck for Quebec Winter Events Corporation and event producer Gestev in the next few months as preparation begins for these world-class events. The most recent FIS Cross-Country World Cup Finals attracted more than 60,000 people to Quebec City’s Plains of Abraham in March 2017 and the event was voted the top stop on the World Cup circuit last season, according to an FIS survey.

  • Toblacher “Wall of Fame”
    TOBLACHER “WALL OF FAME” Die "Wall of Fame" von Toblach ist voller Champions, und wenn man in der „Goldliste“ zurückkehrt, sieht man eine Eliteliste, die bezugnehmend auf den Sieg von Arianna Follis bei der ersten Tour de Ski in Toblach im nächsten Jahr, mit etwas italienischer Zufriedenheit, ergänzt werden wird. Ausgehend von den Damen wurde 2018 die 10km in freier Technik der Tour de Ski von der Russin Natalia Nepryaeva gewonnen, begleitet vom Sprintsieg der Schwedin Stina Nilsson. Im Jahr 2017 fanden eine Reihe von Weltcup-Rennen mit Siegen der legendären Marit Bjoergen, Charlotte Kalla, einer der jüngsten Siegerinnen in der Geschichte der Tour de Ski, Natalia Matveeva und Yulia Belorukova im Sprint-Team und Matveeva im Sprint statt. Das Jahr 2017 war auch eine "Tour de Ski" mit einer 5km langen Strecke in freier Technik, die der U.S. amerikanischen Jessica Diggins vorbehalten war, die 2016 bei derselben Art von Herausforderung bereits zu ihrem Schlag ausgeholt hatte. In den Jahren 2015 und 2014 gingen die Siege an die Norweger, mit Therese Johaug und Maiken Caspersen Falla in der Weltmeisterschaft und sogar vier aufeinanderfolgende Erfolge von Bjoergen, zwei in der Tour de Ski und zwei im Weltcup. Astrid Jacobsen Uhrenholdt der “norge-Truppe“, brillierte auch in einem Rennen von 15km in freier Technik, wobei die polnische Meisterin Justyna Kowalczyk 2013 die Siege bei der Toblacher Tour de Ski in klassischer und freier Technik übernahm. Im Jahr 2012 holte Marit Bjoergen Superstar, weitere drei aufeinanderfolgende Erfolge (15km freie Technik - Sprint - 3 km klassische Technik), wobei sich die Norwegerin mit der Polin Kowalczyk abwechselte, welche 2011 die 15km in freier Technik gewann.

    Preview ladies' 3-Days Tour Lillehammer - 30 Nov-2 Dec 2018 • Charlotte Kalla won last year's 3-Days Tour to become the first ever non- Norwegian winner of the opening mini tour in Ruka or Lillehammer. Therese Johaug triumphed in 2015 and Heidi Weng took the number one spot in 2016. • Three of the last four winners of the 3-Days Tour went on to win the overall World Cup title that season. In that run only Kalla in 2017/18 failed to claim the overall World Cup despite winning the opening mini tour. • Norway has claimed 17 of all 24 podium spots in 3-Days Tour history (71%). Only Sweden (4), Poland (2) and Finland (1) also managed to record a top-three finish in the competition. • Norway had at least two athletes on the podium in seven of the eight editions of the 3-Days Tour. • Weng is the only athlete to have reached the podium in both previous 3- Days Tours held in Lillehammer. Weng won the 2016 edition and finished in third place in 2014. • Jessica Diggins and Sadie Bjornsen are both hoping to become the first ever non-European winner of one of the Tours (3-Days Tour, Tour de Ski, World Cup Final, Ski Tour Canada). • Krista Pärmäkoski, fourth in last season's Tour de Ski, could become the second Tour winner from Finland after 2006/07 and 2008/09 Tour de Ski champion and 2007/08 World Cup Final winner Virpi Kuitunen. • Pärmäkoski, compatriot Anne Kyllönen and Ingvild Flugstad Østberg are the only athletes to have appeared in all 23 Tours since the start of 2010/11 (3-Days Tour, Tour de Ski, World Cup Final, Ski Tour Canada).

The quote refers to a significant time in her life, her nine years in America, where she had found a sisterhood. It is part of a small collection of poems that was unpub­ lished, called Arbeidsglæde (Joy of Work). As a feminist in Norway, Hansteen had felt isolated, unappreciated, and misunder­ stood. She decided to travel to America in April of 1880, as she understood that the struggle for women’s rights here was well underway. As her ship departed the Kristi­ ania (Oslo) harbor, she wrote, “My misery is over,” as feelings of liberation emerged. She eagerly anticipated observing the inspiring suffrage leaders about whom she had read, and she would spend her American years near them in Boston (six and a half years) and Chicago (two and a half years).
