It seems that today was the day of the 80s generation skiers in the men’s sprint in Xiwuqi. With Swedish Adam Johansson taking the 1^st place, followed by Gustav Hall (SWE), Remi Damevin (FRA) and Johan Edin (SWE), all four top skiers on today’s podium was born 85 or later, leaving more senior skiers like Anders Hogberg and Peter Larsson behind in the small final.
