The Ultimate Test of Endurance
This sport is all about stamina. Athletes race across long distances using two main techniques: classical and freestyle.
- Classical Style: Think of this as the classic move—skiers glide forward with parallel skis. It's smooth, steady, and seriously elegant. 💁♂️
- Freestyle: Ready to speed things up? Freestyle is where skiers make side-to-side motions, kinda like rollerblading or speed skating. It's fast-paced and super dynamic! 🏃♀️💨
