Bauer gears up for Men’s 50 km Mass Start Classic at Olympic Games

Czech cross-country skier Lukáš Bauer, who has won two bronze medals at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, will race in the Men’s 50 kilometre, Mass Start Classic later on Sunday. It is a last chance for a final medal for the Czech Republic, which has a tally of six so far. Bauer himself expressed confidence ahead of the race, saying that he considered himself a favourite. But he added that much would depend on the course itself as well as weather conditions and said anyone could surprise. The Czech Republic has three other racers who will also be taking part: Milan Šperl, Jiří Magál and Martin Jakš.
