Ski-inspired Workout Nordic Strong Lands in New York
Skiing just became a summer sport. Nordic Strong, a Copenhagen-based ski workout concept, has made its way to New York. This summer, the brand will be hosting a pop-up fitness studio in Sag Harbor at 11 Bridge Street until Labor Day, followed by a permanent outpost in Flatiron at 35 West 21st Street in Manhattan in early September. A single drop in class costs $50. More from WWD Inside Puppy Sphere, the Endorphin-boosting Non-workout Yoga Class Inside Pride x Boom, New York Pride Weekend's Kick-off Party Watermill Center Unveils 'Upside Down Zebra,' a Celebration of Childhood Art and Contemporary Creativity Nordic Strong employs a patented machine, which the fitness brand now owns, that replicates cross-country skiing. The machine can create 50-plus low-impact, full-body workouts and can be customized in a variety of ways. 'We found our first location in Copenhagen and opened that two years ago as a proof of concept. We knew we wanted to take it to the U.S.,' saya Nordic Strong founder and chief executive officer Nicole Roth. 'All classes are centered around the machine, but because it's so versatile we use it in different ways. We do a strength class, a cardio class and a sculpt class that's Pilates-based.' Each class is 50 minutes and also may employ mat work, weights and Bala accessories. Inspired by its Copenhagen roots, the space incorporates a cozy, Nordic-esque design, while the classes feature custom color lights inspired by the Northern lights. Roth described the concept as 'rooted in the Nordic heritage, but still globally relevant.'

Swiss skier Lara Gut-Behrami, 34, retiring after 2026 Olympic season
Two-time overall World Cup champion Lara Gut-Behrami intends on retiring after the upcoming Olympic season. The Swiss skier revealed her plans at a sponsor's event in Zurich. The 34-year-old Gut-Behrami said she wants to move to London next year to join her husband, former Switzerland international Valon Behrami, who she said was taking over as sporting director at English soccer club Watford. "I certainly won't be a cleaning lady," Gut-Behrami said this week, while hinting she would like to become a mother. Gut-Behrami won her overall titles in 2015-16 and 2023-24 and has 48 World Cup victories, good for fifth on the all-time women's list. She also won gold in super-G and bronze in giant slalom at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, plus a bronze in downhill at the 2014 Sochi Games. One of Gut-Behrami's best performances came at the 2021 world championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo, where she swept gold in super-G and giant slalom and took bronze in downhill. Cortina will host women's skiing in the Winter Games in February, which would be Gut-Behrami's fourth Olympics. She missed the 2010 Vancouver Games due to injury. Gut-Behrami made her World Cup debut at age 16 in 2007. Lara Gut-Behrami wins the final women's giant slalom of the season 3 months ago Duration 2:09

Skiing standout Marcel Hirscher eyes the Olympic season in return from injury and retirement
Skiing standout Marcel Hirscher will have a chance to race in the upcoming Milan-Cortina Olympics after recovering from injury and receiving clearance to compete in the next World Cup season under the new wild card rule. The record eight-time overall World Cup champion had his return last season from five years of retirement cut short when he was injured in December with a torn ACL in his left knee after a fall in training. 'Rehab was going on quite well and now we are back in athletic training. This is super fun, being back a professional athlete again,' Hirscher said on Instagram on Wednesday. 'FIS (the International Ski and Snowboard Federation) made a decision that I am allowed to take my 17 starts from last year's season into the upcoming season. So that means I'm ready for another season ski racing. And I think now you can call it a comeback,' Hirscher added. While the 36-year-old Hirscher competed for Austria in his earlier career, he came back representing the Netherlands. He has an Austrian father and a Dutch mother. That means that if he decides to compete in the Olympics next year, he won't have to qualify for one of the four starting spots that the powerful Austrian team has for each race. Whereas the Netherlands doesn't have any other skiers of Hirscher's caliber. The wild card rule allows former champions to return to the World Cup without the necessary qualifying points. Lindsey Vonn also returned under the wild card rule last season with a new titanium knee and plans on competing in the Feb. 6-22 Olympics. Hirscher only completed one of his three races last season, placing 23rd in the giant slalom at Sölden, Austria. After the injury and ensuing surgery, Hirscher completed 1,000 hours of rehab. 'In the end, two questions remained: What do I want from life? What does life want from me?' Hirscher said. 'Even in difficult moments, my answer never changed: I want to race again.' Hirscher plans to return to snow training in September. 'At the moment, I'm shifting from the rehabilitation phase into full athlete mode, with more extensive sessions and higher intensity,' Hirscher said. 'Training hard again is bringing me a lot of joy. It's shaping up to be a very athletic summer.' Hirscher's 67 World Cup wins put him second on the all-time men's list behind only Ingemar Stenmark's 86 victories. He also won two Olympic golds, in combined and giant slalom at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games; plus a silver in slalom at the 2014 Sochi Games. The World Cup seasons opens in Sölden in October. Men's skiing at the Milan-Cortina Games will be held in Bormio, while the women's events will be held in Cortina d'Ampezzo. ___ AP skiing:
