This Friday, January 30, 2026, the Ski Classics Pro Tour Season XVII continues with the Bedřichov Sprint. Check here for the start lists, start times, and where to watch.

Friday, January 30, marks a milestone moment for Ski Classics as the Bedřichov Sprint becomes the first sprint event ever included in the Pro Tour. The double-poling battle unfolds under the lights of the Bedřichov Ski Stadium, framed by fire effects and the dark winter forests of the Jizera Mountains.

The format begins with a qualification round over two 500-meter laps, followed by semifinals and a final raced over three laps of the 500-meter course. Seven athletes compete in each heat, with the top three advancing and the fastest “lucky loser” completing the final lineup, where Sprint and Champion points are on the line.
