Ski World Cup moved from Milan to Livigno due to rising electricity prices
The Italian stage of the World Cup in cross-country skiing has been moved from Milan to Livigno due to rising electricity prices, according to the official website of the International Ski Federation (FIS).
– Of course, the FIS strives to allow as few changes as possible to the original calendar program. However, we know the challenges organizers are currently facing when global issues affect their events. That is why we constantly exchange views and must be able to respond in time. The Italian Ski Federation has presented a great alternative for the sprint weekend in January, the statement said.
The stage in Livigno, which will be held on January 21 and 22, includes individual and team sprint races.
In October, the FIS extended the suspension of Russian and Belarusian athletes from competitions under the auspices of the organization for an indefinite period.
