And it was truly an amazing spectacle. The bravest and most intrepid participants came to Demino ready to overcome themselves and stand on the starting line. They were not embarrassed by the pinching frost, they were determined only for one goal - to run the distance and finish with dignity.

The racers' faces were red from the cold, but the smiles and sparks in their eyes burned brighter than the sun. They definitely deserved their medals, which were flaunting on the chest of each participant. It was a real victory - a victory over themselves.

We hope that every skier went home filled with pride and satisfaction.
