They are & nbsp; 15 & nbsp; the girls are able to take home the crystal ball. The palm plurivincitrice with 5 trophies up to Elena Vaelbe, who won in 1989, 1991, 1992, 1995 and 1997, followed in share & nbsp; 4 Bente Skari & nbsp; (1999, 2000, 2002 and 2003), Justyna Kowalczyk & nbsp; (2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013) and Marit Bj ø rgen (2005, 2006, 2012 and 2015). Kowalczyk, l & rsquo; unique quest & rsquo; year & will have agrave; l & rsquo; chance to level Vaelbe view motherhood & agrave; Bj ø rgen, & egrave; also l & rsquo; only in conjunction with & nbsp; Marjo Matikainen & nbsp; (1986, 1987 and 1988) to have won & nbsp; three consecutive World Cups. At an altitude of 3 crystal balls & nbsp; are right Matikainen, and have & nbsp; 2 World Cups Marja-Liisa Kirvesniemi-H & auml; m & auml; l & auml; inen & nbsp; (1983 and 1984), & nbsp; Larissa Lazutina & nbsp; (1990 and 1998), Manuela Di Centa & nbsp; (1994 and 1996) and & nbsp; Virpi Kuitunen & nbsp; (2007 and 2008).
L & rsquo; national anthem played for & nbsp; 3 times & nbsp; at the end of the World Cup Cross Country Skiing Women's: & nbsp; Manuela Di Centa & nbsp; prevailed in fact in the season of grace 1993-94, year in which domin & ograve; the Olympic Games in Lillehammer, and in 1995-96; a final success for Gabriella Paruzzi, who won in 2003-04 after a long battle with Marit Bj ø rgen and Valentina Shevchenko. Curiously, the most & ugrave; big blue long-distance runner of all time, & nbsp; Stefania Belmondo, not & nbsp; never managed to win the crystal ball & nbsp; despite the beauty of the final seven podiums. Particularly the burning & rsquo; outcome of the 1998-99 season, when & nbsp; Skari and Belmondo finished level on points & nbsp; with Norway that Spunt & ograve; thanks to the & nbsp; most wins partial.
At the level of nations, the & nbsp; & nbsp Norway; & egrave; one that boasts more & ugrave; World Cup Cross Country Skiing Women's & nbsp; 11, won thanks to & nbsp; Berit Aunli, Anette B ø ;, Bente Skari, Therese Johaug and Marit Bj ø rgen. Quest & rsquo; last & egrave; also the holder of the trophy, won at the end of a season that has seen the & nbsp; Norway dominate as ever, placing 6 racers to the first 6 places & nbsp; of the general classification: & nbsp; Marit Bj ø rgen, Therese Johaug, Heidi Weng, Ragnhild Haga , Ingvild Flugstad & Ø StBerG and & nbsp; Maiken Caspersen Falla. No team in any other winter sport & egrave; He never succeeded in a & rsquo; similar enterprise.
From the 1996-97 season will also assign the & nbsp; cups of specialty & agrave ;. As for the & nbsp; cups away & nbsp; or & nbsp; distance, Queen & egrave; & nbsp; Justyna Kowalczyk, who won in & nbsp; 4 times & nbsp; (2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013), and & nbsp; Marit Bj ø rgen it & egrave; the defending. Regarding the cups sprint & nbsp; in the current conception, the plurivincitrice & egrave; & nbsp; Marit Bj ø rgen at 5 among them was that of the 2014-15 season that like the 2004-05 saw the most & ugrave; great distance runner of all time to get the sweep of trophies.
Deserves a depth the situation of & nbsp; Bente Skari: the Norwegian won in turn 5 cups sprint, but the first two, dated 1998 and 1999, were awarded with a & nbsp; different criterion & nbsp; than the current one, so that was part of This ranking also & nbsp; & nbsp middle distance races, (5 km and 10 km). Therefore, although statistically Skari holds a tie the record of cups won in sprint career, weight & egrave; sure & nbsp; & nbsp lower; than those of Bj ø rgen.
The World Cup Cross Country Skiing Women's 2015-16 appears devoid of his queen. & Nbsp; As previously noted, Marit Bj ø rgen salter & agrave; l & rsquo; entire season because of & rsquo; imminent birth of his first child. & nbsp; The palm favored to win the crystal ball then passes on the shoulders of his heir, that Therese Johaug gi & agrave; able to win in 2014 and second last season. His rival pi & ugrave; will be credited to & agrave; Heidi Weng, who nevertheless & egrave; still seeking a first career victory despite 31 podiums already & agrave; conquered. The third wheel may be Charlotte Kalla, who after several years seems willing to play in the Tour de Ski, vital crossroads for those who have ambitions of success in the overall standings; Justyna Kowalczyk, although it comes from a lackluster season, can not & ograve; It is totally snubbed saw the honors that distinguishes it. & nbsp;
As for the colors blue, one must expect a reaction after a disappointing season that ended eight months ago, numbers in hand, is the worst ever. Some interesting young c & rsquo; & egrave ;, from & nbsp; Gaia Vuerich & nbsp; (only on paper can & ograve; fight for the podium in the sprint races) to & nbsp; Greta Laurent, from & nbsp; Julia St & uuml; rz & nbsp; to & nbsp; Francesca Baudin, from & nbsp; Ilaria Debertolis & nbsp; & nbsp; Lucia Scardoni, but for the moment the 'goal remains to improve the 2014-15 season in the hope that gradually the Italians can go to get results as less acceptable considering the coat of arms and the history of the Italian women's skiing team bottom. & nbsp;
