The Olympics

I have finally recovered from the olympics. Yes, as everyone knows, this Olympics in Vancouver was the  the best ever for the  Swedish national team, with 7 medals. It all started in the best way with Kalla took gold in the 10km. But the most amazing demonstrations I will remember most is the men’s double pursuit. Where we brought back a gold and bronze after a very nice team work by all the guys. Since it was also impressive that there were so many in the troupe who performed good results!


For the waxing job we did in this championship we are really satisfied with, we were constantly in the game and did no big mistakes. During the Olympics the weather skiffted a number of times with everything from bright sunshine to rain. We were able to test a number of waxes that worked really well in several competitions! Then we had a grinding machine in place which was really good for us and our grinder Lorentz did a very good job. During the Olympics we also had a really good cooperation with the biathlon waxers, where we share the test results and made the tests together. This championship will be remembered for a longtime. But now it’s just to re-load for the end of the World Cup, already on Wednesday we go to Drammen, and then to Oslo
then finishing at home in Falun, which we hope has some really great support of lots of spectators! See you

    Hej!
    Vad har ni för erfarenhet av Fischers WC Plus-belag på kallföre? Dvs kallare än rekommenderat.

    Hej Martin! Fischers plus belag fungerar bra även i kallföre tycker jag. Det är viktigare med att hitta en optimal skida än att titta för mycket vilket belag det är på skidan. /Anders Niemi

WAX ON!

These are busy days for the waxing staff of the Swedish national XC team. The start of the cross-country ski season is just weeks away and the staff is currently performing a great number of equipment tests. Among many other things, the seven staff members try out loads of new skis and ski structures as well as new waxes and wax compositions.

During October you will be able to follow the daily life and busy work of the Swedish XC waxing staff here at our website. The staff members will provide you with a behind-the-scene look of their work and most surely give you some waxing advice as well.
