To follow up on these Chinese downhillers, it appears it all started last year...

Basically, a couple of Austrian and Italian skiers arrived to China with an aim of lowering FIS points? It all seems like a scheme a la Project Bogota.  But this is China, so nobody will get punished, of course. :whistle:

all Wintersport World Cup events scheduled for the next weeks in Norway have been cancelled, from Alpine to Cross-Country Skiing, from Ski-Jumping to Nordic Combined...

 

and even if there's not official news yet, also Biathlon will be axed soon...

 

hopefully, a few of them will be rescheduled elsewhere, but I fear many others won't...

Little article about a Jamaican chasing qualification in Alpine Skiing: https://olympics.nbcsports.com/2021/02/16/benjamin-alexander-jamaica-skier

 

Don’t know what his FIS Points are, but it doesn’t sound like he’s close yet.
