The 2023/24 Tour de Ski in cross-country skiing is about to begin, and the United States' Jessie Diggins, a previous winner from 2021, is favoured to win the women's title again.
Diggins is the current World Cup overall leader, and with reigning champion Frida Karlsson in doubt due to ongoing illness and form issues, will be tough to dislodge.
The 2021 champion gets her campaign underway alongside everyone else with a sprint race in Toblach, Italy on Saturday, 30 December.
Skiers will compete across seven stages, moving from Toblach to Davos, Switzerland, before the finale on the famously steep and gruelling mass start in Val di Fiemme, Italy.
Results from the Tour de Ski will also count towards the World Cup standings.
