This Friday, February 13, Colombian skier Fredrik Fodstad completed his third participation in the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games.

On this occasion, the national athlete competed in the 10-kilometer individual cross-country skiing test, held at the Tesero Stadium in the freestyle and interval start mode, where technical precision and net time are the determining factors for the final classification.

The day for the representative of Colombia began at 11:45 am European time. From the early stages, Fodstad sought to maintain a consistent pace, recording a time of 4:30.3 as he crossed the 1.8 kilometer mark.

As the competition progressed and the physical wear and tear increased, the skier reached 4.9 kilometers with a time of 14:10, momentarily placing himself in 103rd position in the general table.

In the last section of the race, over 8.6 kilometers, Fodstad managed to slightly improve his position by clocking 23:52.3, placing him in 101st place.

The competition podium was dominated by the European powers. Norwegian Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo won the gold medal with a time of 20:36, closely followed by Frenchman Mathis Desloges, who took silver with a time of 20:41.

The bronze went to the Norwegian Einar Hedegart, who closed his participation with a time of 20:50.
