World Shall Be Theirs. Soon!

Leaders, Newsfeed

Always fun to onwatch how heroes of the recent Juniors/ U23 World championships make a transition to the Big League, testing their mettle against the leaders of the world skiing.

The 52th Congress was initially scheduled to take place in Thailand in May 2020 and was provisionally moved to October this year. It wasn't an ordinary affair: the incumbent president of the International Ski Federation was supposed to step down and the new leader of the snow sports on this planet to be elected. When Gian-Franco Kasper took the helm Klaebo and Bolshunov were learning how to walk and Frida K. wasn't even born yet. A lot had changed since 1998 - and candidates to replace the 76 year old Swissman were floating vastly programs on where and how to proceed onwards. With the Congress…
