Even the Aosta Valley champion, who had already decided not to play the Quebec City sprints before the definitive cancellation, did not like the behavior of the International Federation.

It was surreal overseas days for Federico Pellegrino, who returned in the last few hours from Canada after the missed dispute of the final stages of the World Cup, in particular with the Quebec City sprints canceled only near the event. As explained by the same Aosta Valley champion, the FIS and the organizing committee of Quebec found themselves back against the wall: "The situation is dramatic in Italy, while abroad they do not fully understand what we are experiencing in the words of Pellegrino - What happened to us in cross-country skiing was incredible, because the FIS insisted on ensuring safety for all nations to compete in Canada and the United States despite the emergency situation being clear.
Last Tuesday I left for Canada with the rest of the staff, more or less coinciding with the release of the new government decree that practically stopped the nation, but things got worse and, when we arrived at our destination, we made I count that the other nations also had our doubts. We have decided to return to Italy and others have followed us; there is no doubt that the FIS was too hesitant and in the end the races were canceled because practically they had not remained registered.
