THIS IS HOW SKI CLASSICS WORKS:

"The competitions vary in length. The longest is ten miles, i.e. one mile longer than Vasaloppet.

"The riders race in different teams, which means that you don't compete for your country, but for a team with several different nationalities. There is also a cup between the teams.

"Ladies and gentlemen run the same distance, but the women usually start a little ahead.

"In terms of points, the races are worth winning differently, you get a little more points in the bigger races. The four biggest races, the Grand Classics, together form a Grand Slam. If you win all four in a row, the skater is awarded an extra bonus, a feat someone has not managed so far.
