FIS meetings in Zurich - No World Cup in Nizhny Tagil

This news came as a blow at the FIS fall meetings in Zurich (SUI). The already completed calendar for the 2016/17 World Cup winter has to be changed only about two months before the start of the season.

Due to the fact that the organizers of the men's and ladies' ski jumping competitions on December 10th and 11th, 2016 in Nizhny Tagil (RUS) did not meet the requirements of the FIS (a wind net has not been installed so far) and didn't pay the entire prize money of past competitions to the athletes on time, the four competitions were canceled.

The International Ski Federation FIS will announce shortly if the competitions will be moved to another venue.
