Murdmaasuusatamine
Murdmaasuusatamine, also known as cross-country skiing, is a winter sport and mode of transportation that involves traversing snow-covered terrain using skis and poles. It is distinguished from alpine skiing by its emphasis on moving across varied landscapes, often including uphills and downhills, rather than simply descending a slope. The sport requires significant cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, and technical skill.
There are two primary techniques in modern cross-country skiing: classic style and skate style (or freestyle).
Murdmaasuusatamine is practiced both recreationally and competitively. Competitive events range from short sprints to long-distance marathons,
