What kind of sport is triathlon? What is triathlon? Distances and varieties. Summer triathlon distances

There are quite a lot of sports that people don't even know about. For example, if you ask any passerby on the street, he will definitely know about football or hockey. However, not everyone knows about triathlon. Today we will talk about this unusual sport.

This sport is quite new. His story begins in the twenties twentieth century. In those days, this sport was not considered official. The athletes simply organized triathlon competitions, but the distances were completely different. Not like they are now.

Triathlon was recognized as an official sport in 1974. And it was included in the program of the Olympic Games in 2000. This sport consists of three stages:

1. Swimming.
2. Bicycle race.
3. Race.

There are distances for each of these stages. For example, a beginner level in triathlon is a 100-meter swim, a 10-kilometer bike race, and a 1-kilometer run.

The professional level in triathlon is called “Iron Man”. To become a well-deserved Iron Man, you must overcome the following:

1. Swimming 3 kilometers and 860 meters.
2. A 120-kilometer bike race.
3. Marathon race - 42195 meters.

Surely these numbers seem simply unimaginable to you. The way it is. To pass such a test, you need to train for at least 3 years. We'll talk about this a little later.

Everything is not as simple as it may seem. Triathlon has certain rules. The competition begins with a swim. If the distance is short, then the participants swim in the pool . You must swim in a special wetsuit. Any attempt by a participant to shorten the distance is unacceptable. If this is noticed, the participant is removed from the competition. If the swim distance is long, then the participants have to swim in some body of water. For example, in a river or lake. The competition organizers prepare the reservoir in advance.

The swim is followed by a bike race. Competitors must change clothes after the swim. By the way, you need to change clothes quickly. After all, all three stages are overcome over time. And changing clothes between them is also included in this time. During the cycling race, the participant must wear a helmet. It is prohibited to remove it until the end of this stage.

After the bike ride, athletes also need to change clothes. During the race, you are allowed to walk the distance if you can no longer run or are injured. During the race, athletes are allowed to wear a special belt on which flasks with water and isotonic drinks can be attached , and bags of energy gels.

Competitors at all stages are prohibited from interfering with their competitors. This also leads to disqualification, as do attempts to shorten the distance.

About the triathlon federation

In our country, triathlon championships are held quite annually. Athletes from our country have participated in world triathlon championships several times. In 2011, Alexander Bryukhanov showed the best result. At the world championship he took fifth place.

The Russian Triathlon Federation was founded in 2005. You can find out the main triathlon news in our country on the official website of the triathlon federation: ftr.org.ru/. There you can find out about the upcoming amateur and professional championships that will be held in Russia. You can also find information about the regulations for planned events there. This information will be useful to you if you are interested in this sport.

Winter triathlon

This is a winter version of the sport. It consists of three stages:

1. Race over a distance of 7-9 kilometers.
2. A bicycle race with a length of 12-14 kilometers.
3. Ski race 10-12 kilometers long.

All this happens in winter conditions. The distances here are quite small, but it only seems so. It is much more difficult to run and cycle in the cold. Therefore, this distance is comparable in difficulty to Tristar 111. If you are interested, look up triathlon distances on the official website of the federation, or on Wikipedia.

This version of triathlon is not as popular as the summer one. Almost all people in the subject associate triathlon with a swim and a very long bike race.

Ski triathlon

Ski triathlon can be summer or winter. We talked about the winter version above. And in the summer, everything is exactly the same, only instead of skis, the competition participants move on roller skates. At the same time, they push off from the ground with special sticks.

At each stage the distance is greater than in the winter version of the ski triathlon. After all, in the summer it is much easier to breathe while running and cycling.

A little about the book “There is an Iron Man in Everyone”

All people who are involved in triathlon or are just thinking about it will find this book very useful. Its author is John Callos, an ordinary American. In his youth he played football, but then due to injury he had to give up his favorite sport. He loved football very much, and it was hard for him to stop playing it, because he lived for it.

After that, John threw himself into his work. He built a good career in the bank, going from an ordinary employee to a senior manager. Until the age of 45, he devoted almost all his time to making money, completely ignoring his physical form.

On his forty-fifth birthday, he was horrified to admit to himself that he had become terribly fat. This fact depressed him so much that he could not think about anything else other than losing weight.

John tried to lose weight with the help of diets, but it didn’t really help him, and then he decided to take up sports again. He learned about triathlon and started doing it. He set his sights on becoming an “Iron Man”, going a long way.

In this book, he described how he trained daily for three years. The most difficult thing he faced was psychological difficulties. Now every athlete will understand him, because from time to time a depressed state arises, and I don’t feel like training at all. It is at this moment that you need to overcome yourself and, gritting your teeth, move forward.

John paid special attention to nutrition during training and completing the distance. Not many athletes know that during such loads the body needs at least 500 milliliters of water per hour. It is also necessary to take energy gels so that you have the strength to complete the distance to the end. After all, triathletes are under load from 8 to 14 hours.

John described the feeling he felt after completing this distance. This feeling can only be understood by someone who has experienced the same thing. Just imagine, falling asleep and waking up with the same thought for almost four years. And also spend 20-25 hours a week on training every week, and, most importantly, a lot of nerves.

At the end of his book John said that the driving force in this matter is a burning desire to achieve your goal. You need a goal that will keep you awake at night and make you wake up easily in the morning. After the feeling of victory, there is a certain feeling of emptiness. To avoid it, you need a new goal that will ignite you. John currently has the Ultratriathlon distance to complete. And this is 2 times more than what a well-deserved “Iron Man” must go through.

If you run constantly and you really like it. However, you want something more and varied. Try a triathlon. Even if you reach the amateur level, the problem of excess weight will disappear by itself.

There is no limit to improvement, and triathlon is a very clear confirmation of this. If you can't imagine your life without prolonged aerobic exercise, then triathlon is exactly what you need!

Triathlon is 3 sports that are overcome sequentially and without stopping. There are summer and winter. The summer one consists of swimming, cycling and running, and the winter one - running, cyclocross and cross-country skiing. Over the past decade, this sport has become extremely popular, especially the ironman triathlon or long-distance triathlon, as it was called back in the USSR.

Summer triathlon

Swimming + cycling + running. Interestingly, the first starts were held in a different order: cycling, running, swimming. But this order was considered dangerous. The risk of drowning increased greatly as athletes became tired, and frequent convulsions occurred in the water.

Summer triathlon originates in France, at least where you can find the first mentions of this sport. In 1920, the sports publication L'Auto published an article about the start of Les Trois Sports, which consisted of 3 km of running, 12 km of cycling and a swim across the Marne Canal.

The first long-distance triathlon took place in 1978. The idea was to hold 3 traditional starts on one day. Waikiki Rough Water Swim, Oahu Bike Race and Honolulu Marathon (3.86 km, 180 km, 42.2 km). This is how an “iron” distance was established, which the whole world now knows about.

In 2000, triathlon entered the Olympic program in the format of 1500 m + 40 km + 10 km.

Winter triathlon

Running + cyclocross + cross-country skiing. Not included in the Olympic program.

• Short distance: 2.5 km + 5 km + 5 km
• Standard distance: 5 km + 10 km + 10 km

Summer triathlon distances

There are about two dozen triathlon distances, we will tell you about the most popular ones: long distance (ironman), half-ironman, Olympic and sprint. note that ironman– this is a brand, not the name of the distance. International triathlon corporation (ironman official website), under whose brand a series of starts are held in different parts of the world. Perhaps thanks to the promotion of this brand, triathlon has become so popular.

Similar companies have appeared in Russia that conduct commercial launches similar to ironman: ironstar, titan, A1.

Long distance (ironman)

It also has other names: ironman 140.6 (by the number of miles), triathlon 226 (by the number of kilometers), ironman, iron triathlon, long-distance triathlon. Conducted since 1978.

The iron distance consists of a 3.8 km swim, a 180 km road bike race and a 42.2 km marathon. The time required to complete the triathlon stages is no more than 16 hours. It is considered one of the most difficult competitions in the world. However, every year thousands of amateur athletes sign up to challenge themselves, say “I can do it” and get the title of Iron Man.

As the series of starts progresses, athletes are selected for the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii. The track records in Hawaii were set by Patrick Lange from Germany in the men's championship and Daniela Rief from Switzerland in the women's championship. Men's record is 8:01:40, women's record is 8:46:46. In triathlon, like in cross-country skiing and biathlon, there are no world records, because... The routes are always different, have different terrain and it is incorrect to compare the results. Therefore, each track has its own records.

Half or half ironman

Other names: triathlon 70.3 (by number of miles), triathlon 113 (by number of kilometers), half ironman, half-ironman, half-ironman.

As the name suggests, it is half a long distance: 1.9 km swim + 90 km road cycling + 21.1 km half marathon. Conducted since 2005. The half was created to increase the popularity of triathlon. The more accessible distance has caused a surge in popularity. Also, the half serves as good preparation for the ironman triathlon.

Olympic distance triathlon

Other names: Olympic, international distance, short distance.

Included in the Olympic program since 2000. Consists of 1.5 km swimming, 40 km cycling and 10 km running.

Sprint triathlon

Half Olympic distance: 0.75 km swimming + 20 km road cycling + 5 km running. It seems the easiest, but don’t relax. If at long distances it is possible to distribute forces, then in a sprint there is no time to distribute.

Preparing for ironman

In essence, this is preparation for any triathlon. The only difference is in the volume of training.

In order to finish ironman, you need about 10-15 hours of training per week. You need to prepare in this mode for at least a year, provided that you have some kind of initial physical training. It's minimum! A week should include 2-3 swimming workouts, 2-3 cycling workouts (in winter you need to spin) and 2-3 running workouts (you can add skiing in winter). Be sure to include a rest day, as a result we get 5-6 training days of 2-2.5 hours each.

Before you sign up for a long distance race, evaluate your capabilities. You either need to find time to train, or not spoil your health and psyche, but start on half-shirts and Olympic jerseys.

Winter triathlon is a combination of running, cross-country cycling and cross-country skiing, completed in a continuous sequence. This relatively new discipline, cultivated by the ITU, was planned to be presented at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. The standard ITU distance consists of 7-9km running, 12-14km cycling and 10-12km cross-country skiing. And all this is on snow-covered roads.

First experiments.

Winter triathlon, like all multi-sport events of our time, was brought to life by the real triathlon boom that was happening in the West in the 1980s. It was then that the first competitions called winter triathlons were held.

“I first became acquainted with this discipline as an innocent 16-year-old girl.” - recalls two-time World Champion Marianne Vlasfeld from the Netherlands. “It was back in 1989 - we went to Inzell, Germany for a competition that consisted of 20km running, 30km cross-country skiing and 40km skating.”

Similar competitions are held annually in our northern capital. We are talking about the “traditional St. Petersburg winter triathlon,” where athletes successively overcome 8 km on skates, 16 km on skis and 8 km running. This winter "triathlon" is a component of the winter "marathon-quintathlon". On the same day, everyone who wants to establish themselves as “universal triathletes” can, in addition to the three above-mentioned disciplines, overcome two more: 9 km 445 m cycling and 750 m swimming (already in the pool). The total length of the distance is 42 km 195 m - that is why this start is called a “marathon-quintathlon”.

These competitions were first organized in 1995 by St. Petersburg sports fan Mikhail Antonovich Stazhkov, a navy veteran. On February 23, 2005, his brainchild, already included in the official sports calendar of the city, gathered more than a hundred participants near the 50th Anniversary of October Revolution park. And as is customary at triathlon competitions, the prize classification was carried out in all age groups - in increments of 5 years - and in the absolute championship.

The first "real" winter triathlon!

The first winter triathlon in the modern sense - the "South Tyrol Winter Triathlon" - was held in 1995 in the Italian town of Mals, which is located in the Alps on the border with Austria. The athletes consistently completed 8.5 km of running, 12.5 km of cycling and 10 km of cross-country skiing.

The first official ITU World Championships were held there in 1997 at the same distance.

Today, leading positions in winter triathlon are occupied by European countries: Germany, Switzerland and Italy. Norway, the Netherlands and France are also very prominent. All these powers are traditionally strong in winter sports - especially cross-country skiing.

Winter triathlon in Russia.

In Russia, interest in winter triathlon noticeably intensified when the Olympic prospects for this discipline became more clearly visible. The first all-Russian competitions in modern winter triathlon took place on March 19, 2005 in Moscow. 104 people took part in these competitions, which were held on the territory of Izmailovsky Park. The first official Russian Winter Triathlon Championship took place a year later - in 2006 - in Yaroslavl. The first Russian Champions were cyclist orienteer Ksenia Chernykh from Moscow and skier Andrei Mishanin, a native of the Perm region.

Winter is coming and triathletes are starting to prepare for the winter training season. In this article, Evgeny Nikitin will tell you how to organize your training process in the harsh Russian winter so that you can get in good shape in the spring and show decent results at triathlon competitions.

Swimming

Not much will change dramatically in swimming training. We conduct all training in the pool, however, there are much more people in these pools. And you can find your charm in this too. When the pool is busy, you can practice contact swimming in a triathlon. Sometimes I specifically come to the pool at rush hour to practice “ragged” swimming.

For speed and technique training, choose a quieter watch. Include 1 open water workout per week in your training schedule.

Swim with head lifts, orientation, turns without touching the sides and performing special exercises for stroke strength.

Interval swimming with boarding and static-dynamic squats is perfect for training the vestibular system and simulating the passage of the 1st transit zone in triathlon.

Bike

Basic training in winter is carried out on a bicycle station. There are 2 types of bicycle stands: roller and under the rear wheel (trainer bicycle stand).

The skills of circular pedaling and balancing on a bicycle are well developed on the roller machine. But it is quite difficult to conduct high-quality training to prepare for races on these simulators.

Trainers are a more versatile and effective type of bicycle station, allowing you to train at home with varying loads. There is a whole variety of machine trainers, since various manufacturers present wide ranges of similar devices to the market.For beginners, a regular trainer with oil or magnetic resistance is suitable.For those who want to get realistic sensations and achieve the maximum effect from training on the machine, a direct drive trainer is suitable.

Of course, ideally, your training should include training on both a roller machine and a trainer, since they solve different problems. But if you have the opportunity to buy only one of them, choose a trainer.

Some useful tips for training on the barre:

1. Ventilate the room where you exercise well before and after training to ensure a flow of fresh air and avoid hypoxia during class. If the design of the room allows, in favorable weather and above-zero temperatures, you can open the window slightly during training. But be extremely careful: avoid drafts so as not to provoke colds, pneumonia, muscle and vascular spasms, myositis.

2. In winter and in strong winds, I do not recommend training with the window open, as this can lead to the above-mentioned consequences. Use a fan. Place it aside or, if possible, open all the doors inside the room to ensure maximum air circulation in the room. This will make you feel more comfortable during the training process. Be careful if you want to point the fan toward you to blow air over and cool the surface of your skin. People with chronic diseases of the ENT organs, as well as those prone to myositis and colds, are not recommended to do this. Although I practice this method of cooling.

3. Place a mat made of polyethylene foam (“foam”) or a denser porous shock-absorbing material under the bike station - this will reduce noise and vibration. Since heavy sweating occurs when working on a bike station, do not forget to rinse the mat.

4. Training on a bike station is quite boring and tiring, so I recommend placing a laptop (or monitor) in front of you and watching various cycling or triathlon competitions. If possible, I recommend watching cycling races with comments from Sergei Kurdyukov - from his stories you can glean a lot of useful and interesting information about cycling, including from personal experience.

5. Place a towel on the steering wheel and pour at least 0.5 liters of water into the tank, or better yet, isotonic water. You'll sweat, as you might have guessed, a lot. Very much!

Run

Part of the training in winter takes place indoors and on a treadmill, but about half, or even 2/3, remains outdoors. I give lectures on the topic “Running in winter”, and I myself constantly train outdoors. You can run comfortably in winter at temperatures down to -18°C, in areas with low humidity - down to -25°C. The main thing is to choose the right clothes and shoes.

Running in winter has a number of benefits, such as strengthening the immune system, increasing energy expenditure for training, and strengthening small stabilizer muscles by running in the snow.Speed ​​training is best done indoors. Athletics arenas and treadmills are suitable for this.

Some tips for running in winter:

• Warm-up and cool-down before running outside should take place in a warm room.
• Running clothes should be such that you are a little cold when going outside and during the first few meters of running.
• Try to run by heart rate (especially at the beginning of winter), rather than by time, as running pace usually drops in winter.
• Choose comfortable and comfortable shoes. Generally, trail running shoes are suitable for winter running.

Skis

Many triathletes go skiing in the winter season. Skiing is not just a change of scenery for triathletes, but also a great opportunity to improve their performance. 2 ski sessions per week will be a great tool for increasing endurance and strength for all triathlon enthusiasts. If you want to participate in ski marathons while still training for a triathlon, you will need more ski training per week.

There is a common misconception among triathlon enthusiasts that skiing can completely replace cycling training. This is wrong. To successfully maintain your cycling base in winter, you need at least 1 training session on a bike station per week.

general physical training

General physical training in winter should be given special attention. Ideally, in winter, do 3 workouts in the gym per week. 1 workout for each type. In winter, my general physical training training might look something like this:

Monday – cycling general physical training

• squats
• block leg pull
• "pistol"
• planks, press, etc.

Wednesday – General physical fitness for swimming

• rubber
• bench press
• pulling the block behind your back
• press
• hyperextension, etc.

Friday – running general physical training

• plyometrics
• insteps
• lunges
• press, planks, etc.

The most effective will be consistent work with your main limiters (this is an individual moment for each athlete). And what everyone needs to remember is that after a power load, it is necessary to stretch the worked muscle groups.

Functional testing

The winter period is an excellent time to better study your own body and understand the starting point. At the beginning of preparation for the new season, I recommend that all my students undergo a full medical examination and functional testing (as at the very beginning of training).

Based on the results of tests and analyses, we can draw a conclusion about the state of the athlete’s body: identify the dynamics (if the season was a racing one), understand the functional limitations and build a training plan much more rationally. It is good to repeat functional testing at least once every 3 months in order to observe the dynamics during the load process and adjust the preparation to the characteristics of the body’s perception of the load.

You can find out more about what types of analyzes and tests need to be done in the training manual. webinar JusTTri “Systematization of the training process.”

Training camps (camps)

Camps, or now the term “camps” are in use, are an effective investment in your training process. Often more effective than buying an expensive bike. A good triathlete training camp in the winter involves going to an intensive training session under the guidance of a coach. The training camps take place in a previously announced city (mainly in the south and abroad), where climatic and weather conditions allow driving on the highway. Traveling to another city and a tight training regime allows you to prioritize sports training and focus on your improvement. On average, the training includes 2-4 training sessions per day. Typically, effective camps involve a small number of athletes or the participants are divided into mini-groups, each led by a different coach.

In the training company JusTTri, there are two types of training camps: basic and advanced. For successful winter training, basic training camps are best suited. At such training camps, shock work on technique, a rational combination of loads for the preparation period, and a lot of informative and useful advice from the coach are provided. The effectiveness of 10 days at such training camps can be similar to a month of independent training. Training camps will be an excellent help for those who are planning early spring starts - such as Mallorca, Provence, Ironstar Sochi, etc.

In general, winter is a great time to lay a good training base, work hard on your limiters, and approach the start of the summer season in good shape.

Hello, dear readers! Winter is not a reason to go into hibernation, winter is a reason to awaken the beast within you and direct it to the sports path. Winter is about intense training to build up volume for the upcoming summer races.

Winter triathlon is the best reason not to “forget” about summer starts. With you is the school of running and triathlon and our article about winter triathlon, what is useful to know to diversify the sports process and what can be useful to you as an athlete.

When going to the start of a winter triathlon, pay attention to the format of the start. Classic Italian or Russian. The choice of sports paraphernalia depends on the choice of format, since these competitions have significant differences from each other.

Applied triathlon in Italian

Classic winter triathlons include running, MTB mountain biking and cross-country skiing. Everything takes place in the snow. Russian winter triathlon has a unique feature: one of the stages of the competition takes place on ice. The format of the event is as follows: speed skating start, cross-country skiing and race.

The Italian version of the competition is adopted as the basis for the World and European Championships. Initially, the length of the race stages was calculated based on the total time for completing all distances, and was equal to 80-90 minutes.

The choice of distances was set on the start day and was determined by weather conditions and the state of the snow cover.

Since 2013, the ITU International Triathlon Union has approved the distances for the all-around stages. The distance of the running stage is 5 km, cycling – 12 km, cross-country skiing – 8 km. This competition was called S3 by the name of the disciplines included in it - three S (snowshoes - running in the snow, skate - bicycle, ski - skis).

In February 2015, the city of Quebec hosted the first championship under the auspices of the ITU in the approved format.

This sport has every chance of being included in the program of the Winter Olympic Games in the future, since in terms of entertainment it is in no way inferior to summer triathlon. However, during the 2014 games in Sochi, this type of competition was denied.

Russian version of winter start

The winter version of the all-around appeared in our country when the word “triathlon” did not yet exist in the vocabulary of athletes. At the turn of the 70s and 80s of the last century, the old-timers of this sport began to conduct the first training in the format of speed skating - skiing - running.

On February 23, 1997, St. Petersburg saw the first official start of the winter triathlon, which brought together 6 athletes. Athletes overcame stages of 8, 16 and 8 km in length, respectively, “skating”, “skiing”, running. Since then, the popularity of this type of competition has slowly but surely grown.

Triathlons are also held in the winter, where, along with cross-country skiing and cross-country racing, the last stage is swimming in the pool. In 2015, the organizers of this start in St. Petersburg, due to weather conditions, replaced “skating” with swimming.

Quintathlon

The Quintathlon is a pentathlon, a competition in five sports disciplines that combines summer and winter triathlons.

The format of the event is such that initially the participant is asked to overcome sequential distances of winter triathlon, then ride a bicycle, and finally swim a stage in the pool.

The time spent swimming in the pool is added to the total.

In this context, it is appropriate to mention the youngest of the “all-rounders” - winter duathlon. Winter duathlon is skiing plus running. The ski race distance for amateur starts varies from 2 to 8 km, the running distance from 1 to 5 km.

Winter history of eventing

Winter triathlon originated in the early 80s in the wake of the popularity of the classic Ironman start. The race in Hawaii, where athletes swim 3.8 km, bike 180 km and run a marathon 42 km, became the ancestor of many combined events.

Historically, it was expected that, against the backdrop of summer starts, winter events in the triathlon format would appear, as a tribute to sports fashion, excitement and the spirit of competition. Countries comfortably located in the northern geographical latitudes really liked this sport.

1995 The city of Mals, Alps, on the border with Austria. This is where winter triathlon began its cultivation. Here the first start in the new format of triathlon saw the light.

The athletes ran, cycled and skied, alternately covering distances of 8.5 km, 12.5 and 10 km.

Since 1999, the International Triathlon Union has been holding this type of competition under its flag. The winter type of all-around is becoming popular, World and European championships are being held.

Winter starts and categories

Overview of the annual calendar of winter starts - winter triathlon 2017. You can take part in the winter triathlon and spend cultural leisure time in Veliky Novgorod, in Yaroslavl at the “Opening of the winter season”, in Kazan at the “Kazan Winter Triathlon” competition, in Kamensk-Uralsk, Ibresi, Novocheborkask, Zheleznogorsk, Zelenodolsk, Berezniki, Kirov and Petrozavodsk.

The Laurel Trefoil event is taking place in Moscow, the Snow Storm in the village of Kresttsy, and the Winter Cross-Country HEPO Triathlon in the village of Toksovo.

Below is a table of categories according to the Russian Triathlon Federation, which will allow you to evaluate your strength among equal athletes!

Leaders of winter triathlon. Russia and Pavel Andreev five-time champion

Russia is a strong leader in European eventing championships. Once again this is confirmed by the last European Championship, which took place on January 28 in the city of Otepää.

Our guys had no equal, our guys took home a scattering of gold, silver and bronze medals, 10, 7 and 6, respectively. We take pride in our guys!

Pavel Andreev became a five-time European champion in this discipline, taking first place in the “elite” category. Bregeda Dmitry climbed to second place on the podium. Yulia Surikova became a bronze medalist in the sports competition.

Russian juniors (under 23 years old) did their best! The entire podium among men and women was ours! I don’t even remember in which sport our athletes performed so successfully.

Who among us will remember where our athletes occupied the entire podium?! Juniors under the age of 18 also performed strongly, winning first and second places among men and women, but they lost third places.

Yalchik Alexander and Plotnikova Anna, our paratriathletes, became the best athletes in the race.

The level of training of our triathletes is impressive. Undoubtedly, if this type of competition were included in the program of the Winter Olympic Games, it would be a good help for our country in the final medal table. It's a shame, but that's not true.

In conclusion, we note that winter all-around sports, which combine speed skating, cross-country racing, skiing, cross-country racing and swimming, significantly add variety to the choice of starts in the off-season for speed skaters, cyclists, skiers, athletes and swimmers!

See you at new starts. Winter is ahead. Let's hope we have a great opportunity to ski!
