The team relay is one of those few times each season where athletes get to shift from their individual pursuits to a team effort and often draws out their strongest performance. We touched base with Charlotte Kalla, Matt Whitcomb, Finn Hågen Krogh, Steffi Böhler, Heidi Weng and Katharina Hennig.  

Cross-country skiing originated in Fennoscandian countries in prehistoric times. It was still widely practiced in the 19th century as a way of moving from place to place in winter. As a sport, cross-country skiing is one of the most difficult endurance sports, as its motions use every major muscle group. Modern cross-country ski competition is experiencing a revolution that is resulting in greater compatibility with audiences which began with the addition of the Sprint event to the World Cup and Olympic competitions in 2002.
