Another 4th place... What`s a frustrating season for us. I'm just curious why France has 3-4 skiers on the podium in the World Cup, despite the fact that it's a country with no tradition in cross-country skiing and we've had one Pellegrino for 15 years? The same with women - Germany, Switzerland, and even now Andorra have great talents but we have nothing. It's not like only Norway and Sweden are successful here...

Yeah, even a 4th place for Andorra now, awesome

 

Somewhere on my phone I have a video of Bruna and the two Argentinian girls in Trondheim absolutely screaming their lungs out for Gina to make the final (didn't work but still), one of my favourite Trondheim moments

From Italy only Gismondi shows promise in the future, but I also have doubts, because we have wasted so much talent in the last dozen of yearsOn the other hand, skiers like Cassol, Monsorno, Ganz etc. may be solid, but they aren`t material for the World Cup podiums.
