Johan Olsson





Johan Olsson skied one of the greatest 50K classic races of all time yesterday at the World Championships.  He broke away early in the race and managed to hold on for the win.  (photo courtesy of fasterksier.com)

The closing minutes are captured here:

He also has perhaps the best skate technique of anyone in the world.  Check out the slow motion of his skiing 40 seconds in on this video.

Downtown Nordic is currently in talks to sign Johan Olsson up for our club.  We just have to finalize how much he will pay us.
