On Friday morning the Sub Committee for Alpine World Cup met in Varna (BUL) and over a full agenda discussed the past season and plans for the future.

It is June, which means it’s time to get outside and be active. The IOC is once again celebrating Olympic Day on 23rd June, the date that the modern Olympic Games were revived in 1894.

Nick Fairall, who suffered severe injuries in a fall in the qualification for the competition in Bischofshofen last January, now made a statement about his current state of health and thanked everyone for the big support over the last couple of months.

These are just some of the questions skiers are asked on a regular basis during their careers.
