Bjorgen, Sundby & Andresen Band Together To Launch New Project

Newsfeed, Training & Outfitting
"Workouts that Make You See Results Fastest"- that's the credo of the new project by the three Norwegian stars who need no introduction. Because SkiX is going to be headed by Marit Bjørgen, Martin Johnsrud Sundby and Ragnar Bragvin Andresen. "Ski-X is a platform and in the near future also the app where we collected all the knowledge that we gathered in our years as athletes and coaches.
