President’s Blog 3 – Sharing responsibility
7th February 2011This week’s blog coincides with the first event of the 2011 calendar – the Inas World Alpine and Nordic Skiing Championships in France. Despite the challenges posed by the weather conditions and the lack of snow, the event has been extremely successful and our thoughts turn to the events that lie ahead in 2011 – a particularly important year for some sports – being that it sees the start of the qualification period for the 2012 Paralympic Games.
Alpine and Nordic World Championships begin
3rd February 2011The 2011 Inas World Alpine and Nordic Skiing Championships begin today in Lans-en-Vercors in France. The snow conditions in Station lans-en-Vercors did not allow the trials to take place as planned, but the event - which takes place together with the French National Championships - goes ahead with 12 countries and more than 40 athletes competing.
