The pink Youth bib is given to the best female and male athletes aged 26 or below. The athlete's age is determined by the year when the Ski Classics final of the season takes place. Points in the Champion competition are used. The athlete's single best result from a Ski Classics Challengers event is included.
Youth Favorites Women
The Youth competition on the women's side is quite open this winter. Ida Dahl, the winner from last season, has moved on to the senior class (over 26) and has set her sights on the Yellow Bib there. The same applies to Julia Angelsiöö who finished second in this category. But it doesn't mean the fight won't be fierce among the young skiers in this category.
Ida Palmberg from Team Ramudden, Tereza Hujerová from Team Robinson Trentino, and Karolina Hedenström from Lager 157 Ski Team are the three biggest favorites in the battle for the pink jersey. They respectively finished 3rd, 4th, and 5th in the Youth competition last season.
