Team Emtec Nordic brings in a wave of new athletes for its second season in Ski Classics, now counting eleven athletes on the roster.
Based in Switzerland, the team brings together skiers from across Central and Northern Europe, united by a shared passion for ski marathons. Beyond competition, the squad is building a training community in northern and south-eastern Switzerland, supporting both up-and-coming and experienced athletes, with a mission to grow long-distance cross-country skiing in Switzerland and Central Europe.
Pro Team Director and athlete Manuela Deigentesch returns alongside Marlies Nipius, Kevin Schilling, Adrian Bosshart, Robin Locher, Ivo Spadin, and Gian Jörger, both racing in the Vet category.
Four new athletes join for Season XVIII: Louise Lindblom, Sandra Norén, Edvin Källström, and Erica Smedberg, who transfers in from the Danish Skimarathon Team.
