Sergey Ustiugov Proposes! Here Are Other Couples Looking Ready To Get Hitched

It finally happened! Sergey Ustiugov bent his knee and proposed to his long-term girlfriend Elena Soboleva. Ustiugov, double world champion -2017 and TdS winner, does not need much presentation. Sovoleva, ex-U23 world champion in sprint, has moved to distance skiing recently and just became a national champ on 50k ( yep, that's fifty - they compete in that ultra-long distance in Russia) Characteristically for the couple, social media accounts of both stayed silent - luckily for humanity, many of their friends felt it's their duty to inform the world about the big event. The occasion gives us all the excuses we need to present you other long-term & public in their affections couples in the world's best sport: [caption id="attachment_11000" align="alignnone" width="1920"] Biathlete Monika Hojnisz and Poland's best male skier…

Need To Know: Who’s Getting Married In International Skiing?

Newsfeed, Trivia

The boss of the Russian national team broke the news that two of her skiers are planning to tie the knot - without quite revealing who. Now we are talking about something truly exciting! https://www.instagram.com/p/BvfBaGXhEH4/ Gold medals and Chrystal Cups are being won regularly – but actual marriages inside the International Ski Circus are exceedingly rare. Which gives us an excuse ( as if we needed one) to look at the couples in international skiing. https://www.instagram.com/p/BqjeSg_l7yu/ The Olympic champion of Sochi-2014 in sprint Ola Vigen Hattestad turned out to be a geat combo of husband and coach. Just ask his wife Katja Visnar who brought home a silver medal from Seefeld 2019! In Sprint, of course, Team Sprint. https://www.instagram.com/p/Brn5WnhljRK/ Sometimes it feels that Anna Zherebyateva and Alexander Bolshunov separate only…

Beard, The Best A Man Can Get

Newsfeed, Trivia

Since everybody & his dog are discussing Gillette's (successful ) attempt at stirring the pot , we have decided to jump on that bandwagon too. We have no idea whether a beard these days is supposed to be a nod towards "toxic masculinity" or any such. We merely present you beard fashions on the top of international skiing. Whether they are in dire need of Gillette or otherwise - you decide.

Faces Of Skiers Tell Stories

Leaders, Newsfeed

We don't often get to see their faces - television cameras only stop at them for a fraction of time and the spectators' stands are too far away, as a rule. Let's take a look at what relatively close access the press is entitled to brings - hopefully, the camera lens had managed to capture emotions written on their faces.
