With the return of Lindsey Vonn, maybe one day will can see Therese Johaug too 

That has already been announced though  

 

She is aiming for Trondheim 2025, then probably goes back into retirement (then again, who knows, with the Olympics only one year away then).

There is actually a Cross Country season opener this weekend from Muonio, .  Unfortunately the only coverage outside Finland is on Pay TV Ski Classics system.  There were sprints today, then other events Saturday and Sunday.

 

SC Play

Even inside Finland, I think? I checked Yle's schedule this morning, but couldn't find anything anywhere, at least for today's sprints.

 Have completely missed this.

 

Was joking, but with the state of Norway's women's division last season, I'm envisioning them begging in front of Johaug's door for her to return

Big weekend of pre-Season/team selection races coming up, just like last week for biathlon.

 

 first - from Beitostolen.

 

Friday - Classic Sprint

Saturday - 10Km Classic Time Trial - featuring the return of la Johaug.

Sunday - 10km Freestyle Time Trial

 

Think this will be your best link outside Norway for Cross Country

 

Langrenn - NRK TV

 

Also featuring ski jumping and Nordic Combined for both women & men

And the  races from Bruksvallarna

 

Identical programme, but in Sweden I think the Women get top billing.

 

Friday - Classic Sprint

Saturday - 10Km Classic Time Trial 

Sunday - 10km Freestyle Time Trial

 

Here's the link, but it looks like it needs more than just your basic VPN.

 

Längdskidor: Bruksvallarna | SVT Play
