The image shows a group of four cross country skiers racing on a wet road. They are all wearing red and white jerseys and helmets, and each skier is holding a ski pole. The road is lined with blue and red barriers, and there are spectators on both sides of the road, some of whom are holding umbrellas to protect themselves from the rain. In the background, there is a body of water and trees. The sky is grey and overcast, and the overall mood of the image is one of determination and focus.
