Great choice for the top five, but I also think Sjur Roethe could be on that list too. Would be interesting to see a classic technique top five as well. Then I would put Daniel Richardsson first, maybe Johan Olsson second on the classic list. Great video, so kiitos Jari !!
Jari the King of XC Videos!!! :) Good video: all of those guys are worthy of praise. Almost shocking to see Svan and the early skating technique. Compare him to Amundsen and you really see the evolution of skating. One other point: maybe Bjorndalen or Fourcade would be worthy honorable mentions.
Got to mention Bill Koch... U.S. he won the overall w.c. in '82 and 3rd overall in '83 with skating more than others...starting a big debate in the skiing community...ended up splitting skating from classic in events...
The best skating techniques of all time are Darya Domracheva and Maurice Manificat (not best physical condition like Klabo or Kruger but best technique)
Manificat wouldd have been a great pick, I'd have picked him. I don't know about Klaebo. Krogh from a few years ago when he was still at his best probably ranks above him as a skating specialist. I also have a soft spot for our local guy Rolaand Claara, but with him it was probably more about his great engine, If I have to be honest.
I stopped watching after I saw The Divine One at 0:12, the best technician in the sport, but hopelessly chasing the doped up villain Elofsson. It was too sad to watch. I knew no one else on this list could match Johann's skill, but what could even he do when cheaters go unpunished? When will Elofsson return his medals? This sport is a DISGRACE.
There is a difference between distance and sprint skating techniques. This is why Klaebo shouldn't be on this list of distance skaters. Cologna should be there instead. Make a separate top 5 for sprint skating technique. My would be: Klaebo, Pellegrino, Chanavat, Petukhov and Ola Vigen Hattestad.
5 слишком мало, лучше 10, тогда и Дарио и Бьерн попадет))) А вообще интересно когда суперпрофи сами формируют топы. Яри, а что на счет топа диагонального хода?
@@smartmapmappin2228 Thank you for the ideas! Gonna make a part 2 for both Classic style and skating Also best double poling from visma ski classics i can think about🤝
But very effective for him. The germans have their own thinking about technique.. the body movements you were born with you should not do anything about.. another example is Benedikt Doll..
I would say he had the best technique both in Classic and skating. So extremely well balanced, effective and powerful. Did never fail a push. His upright positioning which he is famous for made him look so classy and strong as well. Loved when teichmann dominated
Teichmann had a better technique than Alsgaard. Just look at how stable his body and how upright it is compared to Alsgaard. This is straight simping for the Norwegians.
