Patrik Jemteborn, president of the organizing committee, said: "Being able to guarantee the 'snow cos & igrave; early & egrave; our trump card. However c' '& egrave; a lot to improve, especially with regard to the public.
In 2015, we recorded an increase in attendance of 17% compared to 2014, but we have to work in order that & eacute; the city & agrave; of & ouml; stersund can continue to host the World Cup. Many centers want to organize stages of the main circuit and we, unfortunately, suffer criticism every year about the public, which is not worthy of un''opening World Cup.
In other words, our goal must be to be told '' not & egrave; You can organize a better opening '', then & egrave; You must take action to attract more fans. We are also planning to bring forward the most & ugrave; can the 'snow on the slopes, so that the various national teams can arrive early to train at our center.
Hoteliers, the town, the 'organization of the stage and all the volunteers want to create a world-class event and let s & igrave; that & ouml; stersund is on the map of the World Cup. Now it's up to us to prove they can maintain 'in the future overture ".
Interestingly the 'self-criticism of Jenteborn, which makes it clear what is becoming fierce fighting to enter the "tour" of the World Cup, now so coveted by shake the double date in Germany and a resort & agrave; as & ouml; stersund, always capable of ensuring the 'snow even in difficult conditions.
D' 'altonde France and the Czech Republic, at the top with their athletes, claiming a slice of cake also on the location plan. Switzerland and Belarus dream of making their entry into the main circuit and Russia pushes to double their own events.
