Now it begins to approach the Olympics. Most of the athletes are now on camp in Apex. Those who are still in Sweden will be going over on Monday to Canmore, where they will compete next weekend! Weather in Whistler right now looks like it’s quite warm winds coming into the competition area. Can probably expect that there will be some special weather in the weeks that we are on site. You have to have a bit different skis prepared and to take a decision shortly before the start what to ski on! It will certainly be some excitement when you see our skiers start away before you see how it will go. The races in Canmore is only seen as a run through of what is to come. Right now our two grindmachines is packed up and installed on site in a garage in Whistler!

Now is the Swedish championships over. Many skier showed good form. It was pretty easy waxing conditions up in Piteå. With stable weather all week. Although you could still see quite large differences between how the various clubs had succeeded. At the end of this week, some waxers will travel over to Whistler and in early February the last of us will join them.

Yesterday was the national team skiers in good shape, we saw a really good race from Haag and Kalla. In the men showed Hellner that he is to be reckoned with during the Olympics. The weather here in Piteå has been stable. The tracks up here are cruelly good. Tomorrow’s sprint race will be very exciting to see!

Wow what a weekend it was in Otepää. Many good results from our athletes! We got really good with the skis during the weekend. Now we have pack up everything for the Olympics and will sent it to Vancouver tomorrow. On Wednesday evening begins the Swedish championship  in Piteå! Some of us waxers will be up there. Now we charge the batteries again!

We are now in place in Otepää, we where flying here today with Ski Force One. It’s cold here and the tracks look good. Tomorrow we will try some skis and a bit different grip waxes. There should be no problem with finding the right wax. After these competitions, all the skis and all materials are picked up to be sent over to Vancouver! The truck will be rented out when we are away at the Olympics.

Now this year’s tour is over! Now we are traveling home to rest up us again before we go to Estonia. We had with us a lot of good results on the tour which is pleasing. Would also like to say that we waxers have done well with what we do. Especially during the last two classic races, we had really good skis. Toblach was a new place on the tour, which we will gladly return again next year! Now we go on to new goals!

Tomorrow is a rest day but we will be ready to do some different tests in the afternoon. The reports says that it will be snowing a lot here in the coming days. Now we load on to the final races.

A great day today for the swedish team! Jönsson and Hellner on the podium! A really nice day in the difficult conditions on the track! It was not a world cup quality on the track today! Tomorrow we travel to Toblach! /Anders Niemi

now we are traveling in the car to praha. Will be there at midnigt. Tomorrow we have a sprint race in the evening.

Now we have run the first race. The conditions today was pretty good, a bit loose on the fresh snow that came during the race meant that it went a bit slower. We got with us some good results. So it looks good out for the future. Tomorrow it’s racing again. We have parafinerat and powdert ready the classic skis now in the evening already! Now it’s time to sleep.
