December 09, 2015 (Toronto, ON) – We’re excited to announce our exclusive “Sophie-Simi Training Rap” is now live at SkiTrax.com. This regular feature stars two of the sport’s top competitive XC skiers, Sophie Caldwell and Simi Hamilton. Hamilton has teamed up with our training-rap-regular Caldwell to give readers valuable insight into their training while answering reader questions about what they do day-in and day-out to stay on top of their game throughout the season.

Both talented athletes have landed on the World Cup podium and are eager for more, with Hamilton bagging his first win at the 2013-14 Tour de Ski stage World Cup in Lenzerheide when he won the FR sprint on new year’s eve day. Caldwell’s palmares include the best all-time US Olympic women’s XC ski result with her 6th place in the FR sprint at Sochi 2014 and place third at the World Cup in Lahti for her first individual sprint FR podium.

This past season was extremely challenging for Caldwell, however, as she struggled with injury. She broke her right elbow in May of 2014 and subsequently broke the left one just before the season kicked off in October of the same year. We were grateful as Caldwell shared her journey with us as she dealt with setback – something every athlete faces. We wish her and Hamilton all the best for the new competitive season.

We’re excited to have both of these talented skiers on board to share their respective daily training activities in this unique daily blog. Both will also answer questions from readers so get ready to learn how the stars get it done as another exciting season unfolds.
