The strongest pulling logs and cars
Fis
Very often, in a superficial and ironic, we are used to identify the countries with some platitudes without thinking too much about. For example, we Italians, foreigners we identified as the country's "pasta, pizza and mandolin" and in the same way we label others with some well-known features. Of all the inhabitants of the old Europe no one is more accurate, precise chocolate lover of a Swiss. Well, this time, the Swiss have just mocked in terms of creativity.

Who would have ever expected that the International Federation of the Swiss ski adopt a training protocol as innovative?
The members of the Swiss men's team have been immortalized while they were training with ropes dragging huge tree trunks and cars of all sizes.
The news comes almost unbelievable from Gstaad where the athletes are preparing for the upcoming World Cup season and especially for the next Olympics in Sochi. Certainly, majority of the national teams preferred to the more traditional and tested on withdrawals glaciers, but there are those who wanted to try something "new and experimental."
The FIS, the International Ski Federation, has published photographs of unusual workouts men's team ski Switzerland that are taking place these days. The athletes are put to the test by testing strength and endurance hauling large logs of wood and motor vehicles. To do so they used the strings that were pulled with both arms with the entire body.
Maybe it was just a publicity stunt, maybe a joke or collegiate pledge to pay for some lost bet, the fact is that the FIS has also announced that, after a mini competition within the group, Marc Gisin was the most , the strong Swiss team.
If all this effort will also serve to burn precious seconds to opponents in the race we will know only at the start of next season.

Sauris
Sauris è una delle località montane più appartate e suggestive della Carnia, adagiata tra boschi, pascoli e cime dolomitiche attorno all’omonimo lago. Il comprensorio sciistico è piccolo e raccolto, ma permette di sciare in un ambiente tranquillo, lontano dalle grandi stazioni e caratterizzato dai panorami sul Monte Bivera e sulle montagne che separano il Friuli dal Cadore.
