EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of winter sports history, specifically the traditional Swedish sport of Cros skiing at the Bjorko Winter Games in 1904. The image showcases a determined Swedish ski-runner, dressed in heavy woolen clothing and wearing traditional wooden skis, as he glides effortlessly across the snow-covered landscape. The serene backdrop of the frozen lake and the dense forest in the background adds to the tranquil and timeless atmosphere of the scene. Cros skiing, also known as military skiing or skijoring, originated in Sweden during the late 19th century and was primarily used for military training and transportation in the snowy terrain. The sport gained popularity in Sweden and spread to other Scandinavian countries, eventually making its way to the international stage. The Bjorko Winter Games, held in Uppsala, Sweden, were the first international winter sports competition, preceding the Winter Olympics by several decades. The games featured various winter sports, including Cros skiing, and attracted participants from several European countries. This photograph captures the spirit of competition and athleticism that defined these early winter sports events. The image is an important historical document, providing a glimpse into the past and showcasing the evolution of winter sports. The dedication and skill of the Swedish ski-runner in this photograph serve as a reminder of the rich history and tradition of Cros skiing and winter sports in general. This photograph is a must-have for anyone with an interest in winter sports, Swedish history, or the history of athletics.
