The Swiss slalomist is the representative of the athletes in FIS: "I can't imagine such an event after the Olympics".

A new idea, which comes from a never banal character even in what he says and, not surprisingly, since last summer he has become the spokesman for the athletes on the commission within the international federation.
Daniel Yule has long called for the FIS to listen more to the true protagonists of the white circus, even if the battle (also carried out by its predecessor Hannes Reichelt) seems almost lost at the start. Even on the subject of the world championships in Cortina, it is obvious that the decision of 1 July on the postponement or not of the world championship appointment in March 2022 will be more of a political nature.
The Valaisian champion, winner of three slaloms last January and at the end third in the specialty World Cup, is on the same wavelength as all his colleagues who would not like a World Cup placed a few weeks after the Beijing Olympic Games , but with an option that would come out of plan A (February 2021) and plan B (March 2022): "It could be a solution to place it in the only winter without other events, or in the 2023/24 season - said Yule - I can't imagine a world championship without audiences as we risk in 2021, but not even such an event immediately after the 2022 Olympics. Both because it would lose interest in the international media, and because it would be very difficult for athletes and the show".
The Swiss stresses that such an option would go against his own interests: “I am in an excellent period of my career and therefore it is clear that it would be preferable for me to play them as soon as possible, but in such a case I cannot think to myself. I would simply like the best for our sport. "
