Objective of the study was to outline a variety of specific aspects of the Russian national cross country skiing team training for the top-ranking event of the 2014 season. With this purpose, the authors analysed the key performance indicators in the training process prior to the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi, including: the total cyclic loads for the period of 2013-2014; load profiles by the key training methods of every Olympian with due account of the individual preferences for the skiing styles and distances [3]. In view of the fact that the cross country skiing events of the 2014 Olympics were run at altitudes of around 1430 m, a special emphasis in the analyses was made on the middle-altitude training time in the pre-season. Knowing that high competitive success in the modern cross country skiing events cannot be achieved without excellent strength fitness, we also analysed the precompetitive strength training volumes and the individual strength training profiles of the candidates for the Olympics. Subject to the study were 7 elite ski racers (International Class Masters of Sports) qualified for the Russian national cross country skiing team who were trained in pre-season by O. Perevozchikov. Our analysis of the key pre-season performance data made it possible to put together the individual training profiles of the athletes with consideration for their individual preferences for the skiing styles and distances.

Keywords: training process specifics, cross country skiing, athletic training, middle altitudes, hypoxia, individualization.
