These conditions in China are like made for finnish skiers, really rough terrain and course to ski. Finns are probably the strongest physically and workhorses.It is actually even worse. Not only do we have the absolute best recruitment among kids - we also spend a ridiculous amount of money on equipment, research etc. into waxing, machining etc. of skis. One of the reasons why I'm not THAT into cross country skiing outside of the big games - the smaller nations just haven't got the resources to compete. I wish they would have changed the rules (they have tried a bit) so that those nations with money won't have such an advantage.
That's why 4 cross-country skiing medals already.
