After the show of the thirtieth edition of the "Sgambeda", Livigno greeted and celebrated the arrival in the "little Tibet" of the Olympic Games of Milan-Cortina 2026, on the occasion of the second and last appointment with Visma Ski Classics, at the end of the three days of competitions in Alta Valtellina with the "Livigno Prologue" which awarded two champions such as Britta Johansson Norgren and Emil Persson, winners of the 35 km in classic technique and part of that Team Lager 157 that had already dominated the Tempo Team Pro last Friday . A show in the show, given that on the climb to Teola the organizing committee had built a mini slopestyle line, with jumps on the race course in which three freeskiers made leaps over the athletes, celebrating in this way the five circles that will soon become protagonists over six years also in Livigno. "In everything we do, we put a little freestyle," said APT president Luca Moretti, involving athletes like Elisa Nakab of Livigno Team and the national freestyle team, Ian Rocca and Tobia Silvestri. And the "Livigno Prologue" has been decided just uphill, with Astrid Slind the great protagonist, but a relentless Norgren that accelerates to take the bonuses; a little more than 2 km from the end, the Swede will set sail to then embrace her daughter after the finish, while a satisfied Smutna will close second in front of Gjeitnes. In the men's test, the resolution came only in the last meters of the race: after a blaze of Petter Eliassen, it was Emil Persson who burned Morten Eide Pedersen, who in turn preceded only the photo finish Stian Hoelgaard, however on the podium, and Marcus Johansson.
