[mrtorviking]

Norweigans definitly nr1 in skiing bu Sweden sure as hell are nr2 I dont really think people outside scandinavia get skiing the guys in this video are breathing out of tubes, thats not what skiing is about were i come from!

[LightSnowOvernight]

really cool machine, but i guess it's not cheap

[GudonuS]

I'm sorry - I cannot understand your point about Norwigian skiers. Are you from Norway?

[goldenj22]

You should of said Africans, not black people. Not all black people live in Africa idiot.

[MrPorencargo]

@goldenj22 kiss my green ass shit face!

[Amyloverboy]

I have never done this b4 but would love to try it out, is it hard to do? And what muscles does it burn the most?

[meernieks]

Too much science is too much!

[edthewave]

I'm not racist or anything, but I'd love to see a black guy win in Cross Country. I find the Winter Olympics a little too "whitewashed"...if you know what I mean.

[MrPorencargo]

I believe black people are not great at this, its because, africa its a continent with almost non snow places, plus also being a third world place, makes most of the popullation really poor, the facilities to get skiing gear are very bad. Running its a sport anybody can do, you dont need any gear you can even do it barefooted so, this is why black people are great at track and fiel, there its no doubt black people have great fisionomies for any sport.black people could be great in any sport

[aeneafetse]

i want  to train like german team, yeaaahhh !!!

[theangelsofmercy]

[tina2709]

wrong title :(

it's not a training process, it's fitness testing (VO2 max)

[ricadus]

@tina2709 ...upon which specific training plans will be worked out, so all part of the process.

[dreagal]

neat

[wildskier39]

sweet

[Biffbradford]

I'd like to see what the Norwegians use!

Cool clip, thanks for posting.

[akselhope]

us Norwegians have skiing in our blood.

4.5 million inhabitants, still rule the world when it comes to winter sports.

[epd20]

that's the truth man.

Praise to you nordic people!

[dilmao]

well, I'm a norwegian, and I don't have skiing in my blood, let me tell ya:) however, xc skiing is without doubt my favourite sport, and I know that to be the best, you have to train best... best of luck to the u.s. team though, the more athletes from different nations, the better!

[MIXMASTAPWN]

my friend sindre stokke is a sick ass skier from norway

[cookymonstar]

@akselhope

I kneel to the nords of cross country skiing. They can't be beat.

[JDCtheLife1]

@akselhope Its true I'm Norwegian and i had never touched a pair of cross country skis before. Then last week i tried on my own and It felt natural, haha but i probably actually suck at it.

[GudonuS]

@akselhope, Don't say :) Russia, Sweden always show that Norwegians are not the best! Here you go: watch?v=M6ry4kkta3A

[snehesten]

@GudonuS Cross country skiing is more popular in Norway [than in Sweden and Russia], so they can deliver world class skiers from almost every generation

[GudonuS]

@snehesten :) Every country, in every generation, in every Olympic games, even each year provide a world class skiers. I was just talking that there're many good skiers.

[snehesten]

@GudonuS It doesn't work exactly like that.. The bigger community (i'm talking about the boundaries of a country community, in this case) that does something, the greater the competition, which leads to better participants. Also bigger number of people that does something = more top level specimen occurs. And by "world class skiers from every generation", I mean exactly that. Ofc every country can have a good skier that debuts, and then skis at top level for a number of years. It's a difference

[jojojaxon]

@akselhope bit of a stretch to say winter sports...how did you guys do in hockey? Howbout alpine skiing?

[touge242]

@akselhope first lets create a proper race that takes about 40 hours to win, rather than all the sprint crap. Then let's see everyone's worth. Though you Scandinavians will probably still dominate since you can actually ski for 40 hours rather than most countries that need to make their snow.

[knackerFacker]

@Biffbradford Nature, gym studio's and cross-country-skiing high above sea level.

[Movzhuru]

why are the US athletes so bad at cross country skiing? they have money and facilities to train...

[norski11]

We only just started to concentrate on the pipeline like other countries. Now we are starting at a much younger age, like 15 instead of 25.

[Movzhuru]

I am sure if the US authorities put a lot of effort into it, in a few years US skiers will start to win competitions.

[russiateam]

Wonderful!!!

[skiswim100]

nice
