146 today... slowly but surely getting there.

 

Also a skier from :GHA got just over 140 today as well.

 

Hopefully they'll all go to Lebanon, as that should be their best chance.

 

It looks like those Lebanese alpine and XC races will be like some Winter Games for the super exotic nations. :d

When is the Lebanon event?

 

There is one weekend of racing, just before the deadline (19-21 January). There also some Turkish and Iranian races so I guess they should have enough opportunities.

 

I though there were two Lebanese weekends actually, but turns out the first one only has children categories.

An update on :TTO he is planning on racing in Iceland, but does not have access to wax facilities. Does anyone know any clubs that can help him out or any suggestions for him?

From another Isafjordur race page:   

http://www.fossavatn.com/en

“Our partner Craft Sport offers waxing services at their store, where you can leave your skis and have them done for you. The guesthouses usually try to provide some facilities for their guests who want to wax their skis themselves. There are waxing facilities at the parking behind Hotel Isafjordur, Silfurtorgi 2 where skiers can wax their own skis. You have to bring your own stuff though.”

:HKG Arabella Caroline Yili Ng has assured her qualification, adding Hong Kong to the list of participants. :)

 

She will also be their first ever winter athlete competing outside of short track.
