Inspiring sport along the banks of the Rhine in Düsseldorf

The eighth year of the Ski Cross-Country World Cup in Düsseldorf has probably been one of the most impressive since the start of this Snow Event in 2002. The Russian, Alexei Petukhov certainly gained the title of „Mr. Düsseldorf“ by winning both the singles and the team sprint event. This came together with the young Swede, Hanna Falk and her surprising win and thus perhaps seeing the birth of a new sprint star!

Pictures of pure emotion and unrestricted elation are what could be seen at the premier of the charity run, the “NikoLauf”. Alongside over 100 amateurs, a number of prominent faces also used the chance to try out the original World Cup track on Saturday afternoon. The “NikoLauf” generated over €4000,00 for the charity program, “Ein Herz für Kinder e.V.“sponsored by the Bild newspaper.

The organizers of the World Cup, the ski specialist’s allrounder (JEVER SKIHALL Neuss) and the sportAgentur Düsseldorf, wish everyone a fantastic coming year and look forward to seeing you once again at the Ski Cross-Country World Cup in Düsseldorf next year.
