Cross-country skiing can seem to viewers on TV like a long slog along a snowy course. But the athletes taking on the grueling sport know there’s always a finish line they have to reach.
With new technology from Proskida, those cross-country skiers will also know how to get to that finish line most efficiently — while also analyzing their performance for the next race. Proskida, which makes performance-tracking ski pole grips, has been picked up already by Swiss-Ski, Cross Country Canada, and the Norwegian Olympic Federation, the company announced last week.
The pole grips can be used and moved easily between ski poles and can quantify sub-technique choices, effort, force, and performance, according to Proskida.
