Key deadline for FIS Worlds Candidates 2016/2017
The 1st September 2011 represented a key deadline in the process for the FIS World Championships in 2016 and 2017. Last Thursday was the day by which each Candidate, together with its National Ski Association, was asked to prepare its detailed event concept based on a specific FIS Questionnaire. This contains details such as plans for sports organization, accommodation, transportation, logistics, security, media, communications, marketing, ceremonies, the environment, spectator services and fan experience.
There are a total of nine applications for the 2016 and 2017 World Championships. Kulm (AUT) is applying for the 2016 FIS Ski Flying World Championships. There are three applications for the 2017 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships submitted by Ǻre (SWE), Cortina d'Ampezzo (ITA), and St. Moritz (SUI), and four applications for the 2017 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships submitted by Lahti (FIN), Oberstdorf (GER), Planica (SLO) and Zakopane (POL). Sierra Nevada (SPA) is the sole candidate for the combined 2017 FIS Freestyle and Snowboard World Championships.
The next step in the process will be a meeting with the FIS Inspection Group during which the Candidate together with the Inspection Group members will review the project in detail during the FIS Technical Committee Meetings on 4-6th October 2011. Thereafter each Candidate will finalize its documentation relating to the concept for the project.
During the 48th International Ski Congress week, each Candidate will have a chance to make a final presentation to the FIS Council as well as the respective Technical Committees. They will also be able to present their candidatures to the extended FIS family and discuss their plans at dedicated exhibition stands at the 2012 FIS Congress venue. The FIS Council will elect the organizers of the 2016/2017 FIS World Championships on 31st May 2012.
