Story Of Rhaick Bomfim, Skiing Prodigy With Most Unusual Background

Here at the DailySkier we especially like inspiring stories, the stories of skiing changing, bettering somebody's life. Here's one of them, hope it makes your day as it made ours! ….For the time ever Termas de Chillan , a well known ski resort in the Chilean Andes, held the official FIS cross country race this year. It was nothing but symbolic that the biggest star of the tournament came out to be the guy who hasn't even celebrated his 16th birthday yet... ...That minor, ergh, obstacle did not stop him from finishing 7th in the ( grown up) men's 10 km freestyle race - and then leaving competitors in the dust in men's classic sprint final. The story becomes outright fantastic, given that just a few years ago a new…

In Search For Magic Drink For Skiers: Russians Go Raw Milk, Americans Go Secret Potion

Newsfeed, Trivia

Russian skiing team reveals its secret substance: raw milk i.e. the milk straight from a cow, that has not been pasteurized, European laws on sales of raw milk directly to end-customers vary considerably, with Austria being one of the most liberal with Vorzugsmilch – something that wouldn't be possible in Canada or most of the US states that impose outright ban on raw milk sales to consumers. The Russians must have a lot of trust in magic powers of Austrian bovine species: the FB blog of the Russian Cross Country Ski Federation ( quite informative and rather original) has published photos of its legendary manager, 76 year old Yuri Charkovsky personally loading a milk jug from a local farmer in Ramsau, Austria for his skiers at some farm near Ramsau where…

Skiers’ Biceps: “If They Scare Somebody – It’s OK By Me”

Newsfeed, Trivia

Once upon a time even world class skiers had looked ...a bit like elite cyclists look today. The notion back then was, " skiers don't use biceps much – why carry unneeded weight through the distance?' Well, as one Nobel Laureate once said, The Times - They Are a-Changin' Just look at the current crop of elite skiers who look like they have been trying to take on the young Arnold -at the very least to land on the pages of some "Beautiful Body" mag ( heck - some on the list below did, some more than once!)

Music Or No Music While Training: World’s Best Ski Marathoners Share Their Preferences

Leaders, Newsfeed

We at the Dailyskier like asking world's best skiers their opinion on things pertaining to their training and performance. Last time it was about rollerskis they prefer This time around we went all the way up and asked them what's in their ears - if anything, that is. - Do you ever train with earphones/loudspeakers on? - If “yes” - what do you listen to ( music, radio, podcasts, audiobooks) ? Andreaas Nygaard -I never use music in training. Ever! John Kristian Dahl - Sometimes I train with earphones, mostly without, focusing on technique etc. I will recommend fast beats like dance/edm for hard training, and meaningful podcast, with whatever you are interested in, for slow training. I mostly listen to this mentioned above , for example Avicii for hard training…
