Officially we pulled out because our athletes need to prepare for the post-Olympic World Cups (unlike any other nation apparently). Because, you know, some random and inconsequential WCs are more important than once in a quad chance to make an Olympic podium.

 

I blame this on the Kostelić family by the way. They so blatantly oversold the importance of World Cup over the years that the federation is still making such decisions. For the same reason World Championships traditionally have very little importance for our federation. World Cups are more important.

It's one thing to prioritize the World Cup when you're in contention for an overall title. It's another thing when you're not.

 

Also Ivica Kostelić  would really want everyone to think that the World Cup is what matters most given his results :P
