December 30, 2013 (Oberhof, GER) – This past Saturday, Dec. 28, was truly a memorable day as it’s the first time ever that Canada finished one-two at an elite international cross-country skiing event, with Alex Harvey winning the men’s Tour de Ski 4.5km Prologue in Oberhof, followed by teammate Devon Kershaw in second. Harvey also joined US star, Kikkan Randall, becoming the second North American (Randall took the historic win in the women’s Prologue at last year’s TdS) and the first North American man, to wear the Tour de Ski leader’s jersey going into Stage 1, the Oberhof FR sprint event, where he placed 11th and retained the coveted leader’s bib.
