On 7 June & egrave; gathered on the Committee of the FIS athletes in & rsquo; field of 50 & deg; FIS Congress held in the city & agrave; Mexican Canc & uacute; n. There were 8 of 13 athletes representing the disciplines of alpine skiing, cross country skiing, snowboard cross, ski cross, aerials and Nordic combined. The president of the commission Jessica Lindell Vikarby and Mike Janyk secretary, writes Dada Merighetti, they took stock of the last season regarding all subjects and evaluated the surveys that were sent to the athletes during the season and at the end of the season.
From these surveys, at least as far as alpine skiing, is, among other things, that the athletes believe the race calendar is slightly tilted in favor of those techniques for both men and women, athletes are also quite satisfied (pi & ugrave; women than men) with regard to safety. Regarding tracing, jumps to & rsquo; eye that men want more & ugrave giants; streamers while for women are fine cos & igrave ;. A large number of athletes wanted down the top 15 could choose their starting numbers. Most athletes would like to City Event only cash prizes without the & rsquo; assigning points for the general classification of the World Cup. L & rsquo; 80% of those who have spoken & egrave; in favor of the single pole, so that & egrave; passed with flying colors, in slalom, even more & ugrave; higher the percentage in favor of returning the radius of the skis to 30 meters giant. Narrowly prevails l & rsquo; opinion that the parallel giant dell & rsquo; Alta Badia is not necessary in the calendar. The results of these surveys were discussed by athletes with the executive committee of the FIS, in particular with the two responsible Atle Sk & aring; Rdal (with whom they spoke Jessica and Dada) and Markus Waldner and, as we have seen in recent days, some requests of the athletes They were accepted.

The two athletes freestyle Lydia Lassila (aerials) and Alex Fiva (ski cross) expressed their challenge to propagate, support and effectively represent the athletes of each discipline and to do all this in the best & egrave; a new structure concerning specialty & agrave was created; freestyle.
the key points were outlined for healthy athletes communications network: a & rsquo; extensive mailing list of athletes in activities & agrave; & Egrave; the best practice of communication; polls late-season we mentioned above, to be present and share to their committees and working groups; a healthy relationship with their referees, since & eacute; pi & ugrave; They have healthy relationships with referees and other FIS officials and better & egrave; a given discipline.
On the issue of security, alpine skiing, cross country skiing, ski cross and aerials provide for the appointment of a representative among the rolling athletes for each race and you & egrave; a point of reference to carry out and submit to the race director the issues and concerns of the other athletes regarding safety, in these disciplines the work that you are doing & egrave; definitely good. Janyk you & egrave; joined the new working group for the & rsquo; environment and sustainability & agrave; created by the Committee of Public Relations and Mass Communication. & nbsp;

The presentation of the nomination & egrave; He was held Tuesday & igrave; 7 and the 2021 Cortina fledgling foundation has decided to call it, between the & rsquo; another in the extremely restricted time span of a quarter d & rsquo; now, highlighting the pi & ugrave side; clean dell & rsquo; Italy, and in this regard & egrave; It was very important l & rsquo; engagement of four testimonial as Kristian Ghedina, the same Merighetti and the two young hopefuls Peter Canzio and Sofia Pizzato. In the short space reserved Dada said that & ldquo; the World Cup at home is a great opportunity & agrave; for all athletes and Italians in particular are in Cortina, where c & rsquo; & egrave; always a & rsquo; magical atmosphere & rdquo ;.
Being the only candidate, not & egrave; It was made known to what extent the FIS delegates expressed themselves in favor of Cortina, what & egrave; reliable & egrave; that the official presentation of nomination has convinced them not to reject leaking the Pearl of the Dolomites for what would have been the fifth consecutive time, bens & igrave; to accept that the world-famous resort & agrave; Ampezzo back to being the scene of a world event after that of 1932, after the unofficial 1941 and after the 1956 Games that put up for grabs, as well as those Olympics, even the World Championship medals.
