FIS Ski Tour 2020 – Wikipedia

The FIS Ski Tour 2020 was a cross-country skiing competition held as a part of the 2019–20 FIS Cross-Country World Cup. This stage event took place in Sweden and Norway, on ski resorts well-known from other skiing disciplines like alpine skiing or biathlon. The tour began in Östersund, Sweden on 15 February 2020 and concluded with the pursuit stage in Trondheim, Norway, on 23 February 2020. It consisted six stages, which were awarded with reduced number of World Cup points.

Overall leadership[edit]

Two main individual classifications were contested in the Ski Tour 2020. The most important was the overall standings, calculated by adding each skier’s finishing times on each stage. Time bonuses (time subtracted) were awarded at both sprint stages and at intermediate points during mass start stage. In the sprint stages, thirty skiers were awarded with bonus seconds from 60 seconds for the winners, while on mass start stage the first ten skiers past the intermediate point received from 15 seconds to 1 seconds. The skier with the lowest cumulative time was the overall winner of the Ski Tour.

The second competition was the points standings. The skiers who received the highest number of points during the Tour won the points standings. The points available for each stage finish were determined by the stage’s type. The leader was identified by a silver bib.

A total of CHF 480,000, both genders included, were awarded in cash prizes in the race. The overall winners of the Ski Tour received CHF 47,000, with the second and third placed skiers getting CHF 33,840 and CHF 23,500 respectively. All finishers in the top 20 received money. The holders of the overall benefit on each stage they led; the final winners of the points standings earned CHF 6,000. CHF 3,000 was given to the winners of each stage of the race, with smaller amounts given to places 2 and 3.
