The ultimate endurance test. Athletes ski distances from sprint (1.4 km) to marathon (50 km) using classic (in tracks) or freestyle (skating) technique. The skiathlon is uniquely punishing: half the race classic, half freestyle, with a mid-race ski change. Norway dominates this sport like no other country dominates anything in the Olympics. The mass start events are thrilling — 50+ skiers battling for position.
