Cross-Country Skiing FIS World Cup 2021 - 2022


Recommended Posts

Cross-country really is in the backburner of everyone it seems. I doubt France would cancel so quick, if it was biathlon or alpine, or Slovenia if it was ski-jumping.

I feel like cross country skiing is having a real identity crisis right now. Especially with the increased popularity of biathlon.

Is biathlon actually gaining popularity? :yikes: 

 

I don't know if it's because of the cynical posts on here so often, but I somehow feel like every sport in the world has a huge decline in popularity :p  Other than football, of course.

Now, this must be annoying for everyone involved at Les Rousses.  After cancelling the CC World Cup, we find out that it could have gone ahead after all as King Emmanuel I decides that les sangs impurs can once again visit la Patrie.

So apart from Norway, Russia, Sweden and Finland is cross country skiing popular(even if minutely)  in other countries?

 

I personally like only sprint ( classical or free)  and mass starts(only if the mass start is over a one way route and not small closed loops and more importantly freestyle mass starts only, can't watch classical ones , so that I can enjoy the view too ) The final stage event of Tour De Ski was quite interesting.

In North America it’s like cycling - ie lots of people do it, but don’t necessarily follow it as a professional sport.  In Italy, Germany, France it’s a regional sport, very strong in some areas, unknown in most.  In other countries, it’s popular when a fellow countryman is winning, less so when they’re not.

I find it quite relaxing to watch provided there is a scenic well treed route.

If this is true, stupid FIS :mad:

Although the FIS has not yet wanted to cancel competitions, they had already been unofficially looking for a replacement for days, as Östersund revealed to the media. The Swedish biathlon stronghold had been asked by the FIS whether they could take over the World Cup final. This would have saved another flight at the end of the season and could have continued directly with vehicles from Falun to Östersund. The organizer in Östersund gave the FIS a deadline in order to have planning security and enough time for the preparations. However, the FIS let this deadline pass and did not yet give a definite commitment to the Swedes, so that Östersund withdrew its yes to the World Cup final. It has not yet been announced whether the FIS has other organizers up its sleeve.

Would you rather they have a world cup race with only Russian athletes.
