    VAL DI FIEMME, Italy - Eldar Roenning (NOR) spent much of the eighth stage of the Tour de Ski working for Petter Northug (NOR), but as the final kilometer rolled around, he submitted his resignation, packed up his skis and poles, and headed out on his own.

    FasterSkier.com &bull Jan 7, 2012

    RUMFORD, Maine - There was no sugarcoating it. U.S. Ski Team member Noah Hoffman wasn't happy with his performance on Thursday at the 2012 U.S. Cross Country Championships. The 22-year-old had gone out too hard in the men's 15 k freestyle individual start at Black Mountain. The definitive race leader for the first two laps, Hoffman dealt with the consequences of his pacing - or lack thereof - on the last two. He ultimately finished fourth. Noah Hoffman (USST/Team HomeGrown) races to a decisive victory in the 30 k classic mass start at U.S. Nationals… Full Story »

    FasterSkier.com &bull Dec 3, 2011

    For Germany's Magdalena Neuner, that spot was at the top. The 24-year-old won her 25th World Cup after placing third in a wind-dominated individual race earlier this week. For any other champion, an occasional bad day is standard. But Neuner is so good that seeing her finish over a minute and a half behind Darya Domracheva of Belarus was, well, strange. In Saturday's 7.5 k sprint, Neuner eked out a 0.2-second victory over Tora Berger of Norway. The pair both missed a single shot in the standing stage and were battling for… Full Story »
