December 16, 2010 – Norway’s queen of xc skiing, Marit Bjoergen, is on the verge of making history and will soon eclipse Bente Skari’s (NOR) record of 42 World Cup wins for women if she continues her winning streak in La Clusaz, France, this weekend at round five of the Viessmann FIS World Cup.

Bjoergen has 41 wins but Skari’s total of 42 is a topic of discussion in Norway reports langd.se.
