“Tour de Ski King” is back on that Final Climb he dominated four times
FT 10 km Mass Start from Lago di Tesero to Cermis
From January 6th to 8th three unforgettable days of competitions, with Tour del Gusto
On Sunday Rampa at 9 am, Final Climb at 11 am for women and 12.45 am for men
Dario Cologna is the undisputed king of Tour de Ski: four victories (2009, 2011, 2012 and 2018) together with three podiums, last year was his last season of World Cup competitions. The Swiss athlete was able to excite crowds and in Val di Fiemme, above all with the Final Climb, made thousands losing their minds. For a champion as he is with four Olympic victories and with a World Champion title, is difficult not coming back to Fiemme, a place making him a myth. Just as hopes were low, news came unexpected: Dario Cologna is back on Sunday on Cermis, wearing a bib and his skis, for the Rampa con i Campioni.
On the very same track of Final Climb, a track making him the super champion of Tour de Ski, he is now blending with amateurs, just as many champions already did: Justyna Kowalczyk, Thomas Alsgaard, Alexander Legkov, Tobias Angerer, Katerina Neumannova, Cristian Zorzi, Odd Bjørn Hjelmeset.
At 9 am, a FT 10 km Mass Start starting from Lago di Tesero up until Cermis. It is another reason to come for audience. Tour de Ski pro athletes are starting at 11 am (women) and 12.45 am (men).
Registrations for Rampa con i Campioni are open until Friday January 6th, and let’s see if some other popular guest is willing to challenge Cologna. Afterwards, Cologna is broadcasting as a commentator for the Swiss TV: he will certainly report vividly what means to see athletes on Olimpia III.
For people still not sure whether to come or not, notice that competitions in Val di Fiemme (Sprint on Friday, 15 km Mass Start on Saturday) are open to audience and on Sunday there will be fun on Cermis, beyond Rampa and Final Climb, with Tour del Gusto along the track, for a food and drink experience. It is possible to get there by foot with snowshoes, ski mountaineering or by cable car.
Federico Pellegrino saved the date for his audience on the finishing line of the Final Climb, Kleabo with his yellow bib is on the right way to his third success, Dario Cologna is among the many XCO skiers at Rampa: what if this is the best Tour de Ski ever for real?
