Before the XVII Olympic Winter Games, the World Cup Cross Country Skiing Men was not & nbsp; ever landed in Lillehammer for individual races, and despite the success and performance, tracks Birkebeineren Ski Stadium & nbsp; were not used later as other plants. A total of 11 & nbsp; the evidence therein disputed, 7 World Cup pi & ugrave; 3 stages and the final results of & rsquo; unpublished multistage event played last season. They are 4 skiers able to win in 2 occasions, all idols rooms: & nbsp; Bj ø rn D & aelig; hlie won the Olympic titles in the 10 km classic and 15 km pursuit, & nbsp; Thomas ALSG & aring; rd conquered & ograve; l & rsquo; gold in the 30 km free technique and a & rsquo; unusual - at the level of the World Cup - 58 km classic technique in 2002, P & aring; l & egrave Golberg you; It imposed a 15 Km in alternating December 7, 2013 and in Sprint skating twelve months ago, and finally Martin Johnsrud Sundby you & egrave; won the second stage and the final test multistage last season.

A stellar distance are Kazakhstan, which thanks to Vladimir Smirnov and Alexey Poltoranin boasts one success and five podiums.

If an individual level the & rsquo; Italy male does not boast any success in Lillehammer, you can not & ograve; forget what has been done by our bishops during the Olympics in 1994.
