I love Cross-country skiing.
the sport of cross-country skiing has a variety of formats that are put on display throughout the US and canada
What kind of courses do these events occur on?
races ocur over homogated, groomed courses along with freestyle type track events
Do they just race or are there other elements to the competition?
well there are different types of races, which include forms of a biathlon, where racers race cross-country and then stop to shoot at targets with rifles.
That's so cool. When did Cross-country skiing become a sport?
Well the norwegian army units began skiing for sport back in the 18th century!
