Abstract
A cross-country ski binding having a linkage element for pivotal mounting relative to a ski about a first axis; a latching element pivotally connected to the linkage element about a second axis between a retention position, for retaining a boot to the binding, and a release position, for permitting the boot to be removed from the binding; a device for biasing the latching element toward the retention position, wherein the biasing device is connected between the latching member and a member fixed with respect to the ski. The biasing device is compressed in a direction that is offset with respect to both the first and second axes. The binding according to the invention omits the use of a stirrup member which is used in particular known ski bindings.
