The cross-country skiing World Cup heads to Davos in Switzerland this weekend. The Norwegian Team is now presented.

Davos, Switzerland, is the place of this year’s fourth stop for the cross-country skiing World Cup. The event begins on Saturday, December 17, with a sprint race in freestyle technique. And on Sunday, December 18, the World Cup weekend ends with a 20km individual start, also in freestyle technique.
