Long discussions in Nordic Combined Sub-Committee meetings
On the initiative of FIS Council Member and Chairman of the Nordic Combined Committee Roman Kumpost (CZE), a Nordic Combined Sub-Committee for Officials, Rules and Control was established and the Nordic Combined Executive Board re-activated last autumn. These two groups met last weekend in Zurich during the Nordic Combined Sub-Committee Meetings.
