Let the Tour de Ski begin!

With the 16th edition of the FIS Tour de Ski performance by Le Gruyère AOP, a seasons highlight awaits the FIS Cross-Country family over New Years. At six competitions during eight days, the prestigious Tour format celebrates the most diverse skier of this generation of Cross-Country skiers.

The stage is ready at Lenzerheide in Switzerland. On schedule is a Sprint in Free technique to open the Tour. A large starting field is lined up as for many athletes, the result during the Tour might end up with a qualification for the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing in February 2022. Most teams will have their final teams for the Olympic Games defined after the Tour.

The Tour de Ski also marks one step before the final preparation phase for athletes who are already qualified for Beijing 2022.

Jessie Diggins
The defending Tour de Ski winner from the US Team has had a rapid World Cup season start. A second place in the Sprint in Free technique in Lillehammer – and a second place in the Teamsprint in Dresden – as well as a second place at the 10km in Free technique in Davos showed what a diverse skier the 30 year-old athlete is. Her key to succeed at the Tour de Ski? Taking each day by day and checking in with body, skis, weather and all conditions that impact the final result.

Ebba Andersson
The 24 year-old Swede showed an impressive performance at the Final Climb up to Alpe Cermis in Val di Fiemme and ended last years Tour with a fantastic third place in the Overall final ranking. The Distance expert is a versatile skier in both Free technique and Classic technique with a remarkable endurance.

Frida Karlsson
No way got past the 22 year-old Distance ace this season. All results of the five individual competitions the Swede raced were all within the Top-6. Frida Karlsson is currently dealt as a top favorite and biggest contenders to beat during the Tour de Ski.

Alexander Bolshunov
The winner of the last two editions of the Mens Tour de Ski has had a rough start into the season. After a summer preparation phase filled with injuries, the 24 year-old could not yet follow up on his dominant performances of last year. Nevertheless, the Russian is always up for surprises with his strong stamina and therefore will always be a top shot for the top rankings.

Johannes Høsflot Klæbo
The Norwegian has taken over the Overall and Sprint World Cup lead of the current World Cup. The 25 year-old Norwegian is undoubtedly one of the top contenders for the victory of the Tour de Ski but first has to overcome the six competition in best possible manner. In addition, the contender field is widening up with athletes not least from his own Team as well.
