FIS - The International Ski and Snowboard Federation

A milestone moment for Para Cross-Country at Ski-VM Trondheim 2025 !❄️ For the first time, Para Cross-Country was integrated into the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, uniting athletes on the same stage—an achievement celebrated, but not without challenges. 🏅 “We were able to introduce a whole new community to the world of Para Cross-Country Skiing.” – Dani Aravich (USA) 👏 “We rarely get to overlap with Para, and I really enjoyed cheering the athletes on and connecting with them off the snow. I would love to see this again in the future.” – Julia Kern, OLY (USA) While the integration was a major step forward, athletes and organizers recognize areas for improvement, particularly in scheduling, accessibility, and logistics. As FIS Sport & Event Director Sandra Spitz noted: “We are aware that we have different starting points with different infrastructures at host cities and venues, creating various challenges. However, we are committed to working hard, step by step, to facilitate equal opportunities.” Read more about this landmark event and the road ahead ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eUEpfpJb #Trondheim2025 #FISParaCrossCountry #FISCrossCountry #FISParaSnowSports #Inclusivity #InclusiveSport

🌍❄️ Snow Sports know no borders! ❄️🌍 History was made this weekend as the first-ever Guinea Bissau Cashew Cup brought together ski racers from 16 countries in Arieseni, Romania.⛷️ Guinea Bissau—a nation more famous for cashews than cold winters—has taken a bold step into alpine skiing, proving that snow sports truly have no limits. After joining FIS as an Associate Member in 2024, the Guinea Bissau Winter Sports Federation (FDIGB) has wasted no time in making an impact. By launching this FIS Entry League race, FDIGB is championing youth development, international exchange, and sporting diversity in the most inspiring way. 🗨️ "This event demonstrates that winter sports have no borders," said Thomas Wei-tsu Tang OLY, Secretary General of FDIGB.

🚀 The "Training the Female Athlete" webinar series is off to a fantastic start! The first two sessions set the stage for insightful discussions with leading experts: 📌 Bias related to sex differences in sport and performance with Sophia Nimphius, PhD, GAICD 🗨️ "I had the chance to present on the multiple forms of bias in research design, analysis and interpretation, particularly when studies claim to examine sex differences in sport. More importantly, we discussed how to reframe research to produce insights that are actionable and truly relevant to female athletes." – Sophia Nimphius 📌 Injury risk and individualized load management in female athletes with Prof. Anne Hecksteden With 138 participants and an engaging Q&A, this session provided key takeaways on recovery, training load, and the role of cycle tracking in optimizing performance. 🗨️ "Effective recovery and load management are all about training at the limit—without going too far. Individualized analytics allow to extract valid information from the stream of monitoring data. On this basis athletes and coaches can fine-tune training for optimal performance. While these methods work for both genders, basic cycle tracking can be a meaningful addition for female athletes." – Prof. Anne Hecksteden 🔜 Next session: 10 April, 16:00 CET Topic: Breast health and breast support 📩 Don’t miss out—sign up here: https://lnkd.in/eXAjJTGQ 📸 FIS Freestyle World Cup - Moguls - Val St. Come (CAN) - 2025 @rudi.garmisch / @fisfreestyle #FIS #SnowSports #TrainingTheFemaleAthlete #Webinar #FemaleAthletes #SportsScience

Yellow cards and reprimands to keep racers in check🚦 Most FIS disciplines involve either racing against the clock ⏱️ or posting the best individual score 💯. There are exceptions, though, with Ski Cross, Snowboard Cross, and Cross-Country Skiing seeing athletes go head-to-head. To avoid accidents or contestants gaining an unfair advantage, those disciplines employ sanctioning systems. In Ski Cross and Snowboard Cross, these use yellow and red cards like those familiar to football followers. In Cross-Country Skiing, there are reprimands which work in a similar way. Read on to find out which offences result in punishments, and what the consequences are for athletes who break the rules ⬇️ #SportIntegrity #FairPlay #FISSkiCross #FISSnowboardCross #FISCrossCountry #YellowCards
