2009 Canadian $25 Cross Country Skiing Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games Proof Silver Hologram Coin
Cross country skiing has been around for millennia. Prehistoric cave drawings in Russia show hunters gliding on skis. Skis were an essential form of transportation for the Swiss army during the 16th century. By 1767, the Norwegian army was holding official competitions and, in 1843, that same country held the first civilian cross country ski event.
A test of physical and mental endurance, cross country skiing was part of the first Olympic Winter Games in 1924. Men competed in 18- and 50-kilometre races and the women’s Olympic sport event was added in 1952.
