Ski Classics approaches the third and fourth Pro Tour events, Season XV, this weekend: La Venosta Criterium and La Venosta ITT, and a new high record of female Pro Team athletes is achieved. 

When the Pro Tour started in 2011, women athletes in Pro Teams were only 15%. The proportion of women has since increased year by year, and when Ski Classics Season XV approaches its second weekend of the Pro Tour, the female share of the Pro Team athletes is 39.3%. 

In total, there are 272 Pro Team athletes registered at the moment, 107 women and 165 men.

The graphic shows the Ski Classics ratio of female skiers over the seasons.

According to Rules & Regulations Season XV, registered Ski Classics Pro Teams are limited to 35. Each team must consist of a minimum of four and a maximum of ten athletes, including two athletes of each gender and a maximum of 9 athletes from established nations.
