How the world ski season has passed: the dominance of Clebo, the return of Yohaug, no competition in men

The results of the pre -Olympic season. The coil international season is everything. Itogers in general offices: owners of large crystal globes of steel Yohannes Cleo And Jessica Diggins; The best in the “U23 steel Edwin Anger And Helen Hoffman. Maly crystal globes were distributed as follows: Sprint – Clebo and Yeensuu; distance – Simen Krueger and Diggins.Getty Images *** In men in the pre -Olympic season, Clebo was and all the rest, and at a solid distance. The Norwegian a year before the games in Italy finally proved to himself and those who did not believe that he was a station wagon. On the World Cup 2025 in Tronheim Johannes, all 6 out of 6 races submitted to history. He went down in history. This cannot be improved if, of course, new types of programs do not appear in ski races in the future. Who can repeat is unknown. So far, there are no applicants, since Russian skiers, led by Alexander Bolshunov, still cannot perform at international starts. Pomimo Klebo won the Tour de Ski for many days. He could well take all the sprint races of the season, but missed the stages in Le-Russian (won the Swede Anger) and Konier (gold near the Norwegian Erica Valness). So, only two skiers were lucky to be on the first line, which is usually inviolable. Johannes was also cool in marathons. During the season, he won both 50 kilometers-on the World Cup (skate) and km in Lahti (classic). Despite this, in distance views, everything was not as stable as in sprint. MHG left Kruger.Getty Images -pores clearly do not feel calm, given the form of the Norwegian. At the 2026 Olympics, he is quite capable of picking up the entire program. And now it does not sound like nonsense. Klebo used the absence of Russians perfectly. Without them, such an ingestion of world championships might not have happened. *** If we talk about general competition in men that the whole world provides Norway, it is actually not. Of all the races (personal and team), the Scandinavians missed gold at only five. Therefore, the phrases of fans of ski races from Russia about the “Championship of Norway” are very relevant here. Although they are not to blame that no one can compete with them. *** Women's skis cheered up the return of Norwegian well Teresa Johaug. The champion of everything and the whole decided on the Cumbek for the sake of the marathon at the World Cup. Everything turned out well during the season: the victory for the Tour de Ski, the catwalks km. That's just in Trondheim, Johag performed below its expectations – three silver and bronze. Moreover, on all races, except for one, you can close your eyes, since the main goal of Johag was a 50-kilometer, but even there it could not cope. Swede Frida Karlsson She became the best in this discipline. Johaug and teammate walked around Haidi Weng. Bottom line: bronze.Getty ImageSt failure at the world forum, Johaug took her at the World Cup in Lahti. She won the Marathon Classics with an advantage per minute relative to Norwegian Astrid Slin. Swede Ebba Anderson dripped her 3.5 minutes. On this career, Teresa is completed, but no one believes her. Now the skier paused before Easter, after which she will announce whether it will remain to the games-2026. The husband persuades her very much, understanding in what form for her years (36) is his beloved. *** BHG was held by the American Diggins, but every year she has more and more rivals. A crowd of Swedes, try German Victoria Karl And Swiss Nadine Fendrich, Slinn strains (in the struggle for the ICG in remote species, Norwegian lost only 2 points) and now also Johaug. And this is on the routes of the KM there is no Natalia Terentyeva and the company of Russian skiers. Despite the two Cups of the world in a row, Diggins does not look like the main valid force of women. *** The sprint test this season remained with the winner of the World Cup Yoensuu. Not one The traceAs they say, one in the Finnish national team. Although it is clear to everyone that there was not a single stable rider at a short distance, like Clebo, to talk about what Joensuu is cool. And so in all female skis – you never know who will break through in one or another race.Getty images *** If you take the youth offset seriously, the Swede Anger definitely has some prospects. In Trondheim at the World Cup, a 22-year-old skier has already become twice a bronze medalist-a relay and a team sprint. He cannot fight Clebo on an equal footing, but the guy is trying. In the overall standings, he is the second after Johannes. Perhaps it was for him to return the lost greatness to his team. Memock Hoffman took the prize of the best young racer. She was part of the baton four at the World Cup 2025, which took bronze. The 23-year-old skier is just starting to settle in adult starts, but with her peers she has very good statistics. Hoffman is a 4-time world champion among juniors and youth.
