Fifteen girls are able to take home the crystal ball. The palm of plurivincitrice with five trophies up to Elena Vaelbe, who won in 1989, 1991, 1992, 1995 and 1997, followed by Bente Skari makes four (1999, 2000, 2002 and 2003) and Justyna Kowalczyk (2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013). Kowalczyk, who quests & rsquo; year & will have agrave; l & rsquo; s time to get Vaelbe, & egrave; Also the & rsquo; only with Marjo Matikainen (1986, 1987 and 1988) to have won three World Cups in a row. At an altitude of three crystal balls are the gi & agrave; cited Matikainen and Marit Bj & Ã¸ rgen (2005, 2006 and 2012). The most & ugrave; great long-distance runner of all time stands not in this special classification as it has often snubbed the World Cup to aim successfully to the main event. They have two World Cups Marja-Liisa Kirvesniemi-H & auml; m & auml; l & auml; inen (1983 and 1984), Larissa Lazutina (1990 and 1998), Manuela Di Centa (1994 and 1996) and Virpi Kuitunen (2007 and 2008). L & rsquo; s national anthem played three times at the end of the World Cup Cross Country Skiing Women: Manuela Di Centa is in fact imposed in the 1993-94 season of grace, in which year domin & ograve; the Olympic Games in Lillehammer, and in 1995-96; a successful outcome for Gabriella Paruzzi, who won in 2003-04 after a long battle with Marit Bj & Ã¸ rgen and Valentina Shevchenko. Interesting to note that more & ugrave; blue great cross-country skier of all time, Stefania Belmondo, has never managed to win the crystal ball despite the beauty of seven podiums final. Especially the burning & rsquo; outcome of the 1998-99 season, when Skari Belmondo and ended up level on points with Norway that spunt & ograve; the increased number of partial victories. At the level of nations, Norway & egrave; one that offers more & ugrave; World Cup Cross Country Skiing Female, ten, won thanks to Berit Aunli, Anette & B ;, Ã¸ Bente Skari, Marit Bj & Ã¸ rgen and Therese Johaug. Quest & rsquo; s latest & egrave; also winner of the trophy, won last March to the end of a season that saw the Norway dominate, placing four racers in the top four places in the general classification: Therese Johaug, Marit Bj & Ã¸ rgen, Astrid Jacobsen and Heidi Weng. In the history of the World Cup Cross Country Skiing, only Russia was able to do better, placing five girls in the top five (Elena Vaelbe, Nina Gavriljuk, Larissa Lazutina, Olga Danilova and Olga Savialova) in 1994-95, while the Norway itself occup & ograve; the first four positions (Anette & B ;, Ã¸ Grete Nykkelmo, Britt Pettersen and Berit Aunli) in 1984-85. No & rsquo; & egrave other nation; never been able to monopolize the podium of the World Cup. From the 1996-97 season will also assign the cups of specialty & agrave ;. As for the cups away or distance, Queen & egrave; Justyna Kowalczyk won on four occasions (2009, 2010, 2011 and 2013), while Therese Johaug it & egrave; the holder. As for the cups sprint in the current conception, the plurivincitrice & egrave; Marit Bj & Ã¸ rgen at an altitude of four, but Kikkan Randall won this special prize in the last three seasons. Deserves a thorough situation Bente Skari: the Norwegian officially won five cups sprint, but the first two, dated 1998 and 1999 were assigned to a different standard than the current one, so that was part of this ranking also races average distance (5 km and 10 km). Therefore, although statistically Skari holds the record for career wins sprint cups, weight & egrave; certainly lower than the four Bj & Ã¸ rgen. The World Cup Cross Country Skiing Women's 2014-15 seems to be, as several seasons now, a three-fight. Bj & Ã¸ rgen, Kowalczyk and Johaug still have an edge pi & ugrave; compared to their opponents, despite the return to high levels of Astrid Jacobsen and Charlotte Kalla and the constant growth of Heidi Weng. As usual, will play & agrave; a key role Tour de Ski, the weight on the general classification seems to be quite disproportionate. Very few hopes for the color blue: the void left by the withdrawal of Arianna Follis, Marianna Longa and Magda Genuin, dated spring 2011, it & egrave; yet been filled. Some interesting young c & rsquo; & egrave ;, by Gaia Vuerich (only on paper can & ograve, fighting for the podium in the sprint races) Greta Laurent, from Julia St & uuml; rc Frances Baudin, by admin Debertolis Debora Agreiter, but for the moment & egrave; need to let them grow without pressure in the hope that arise compete at the Olympics in Pyeongchang, highlight of the four-year period that is about to open. & nbsp; & Nbsp;
