Cross-Country Skiing: Emphasis on calendar frames and marketing
During the FIS Autumn Meetings in Zürich, the FIS Cross-Country Committee and its various Sub-Committees held several meetings to discuss and develop the sport further. In addition, a seminar for the World Cup organizers, a meeting of the Tour de Ski organizers, a World Cup Technical Delegate update and a Cross-Country TV Seminar were held.
The Committee meetings were mostly occupied with the overall frames of the competition calendar for the next several years with the main principles to be followed being continuity and maintaining and developing the necessary experience. New organizers from Poland and Italy presented their plans for new World Cup sites for consideration next spring. An update about the procedure of the new multi-stage World Championships was also provided and will be presented to the Council for its' consideration to submit to the 2010 Congress. All bodies were also informed about the progress with the Cross-Country marketing project which is in full swing getting ready for the season. The new Cross-Country website will be launched in mid-November.
