The Fis Nordic World Ski Championships 2007 for the First Time in Asia
December 31, 2009 by admin · Leave a Comment
The FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2007 began on February 22, 2007 and will run through March 4 in Sapporo, Japan. Being held in this city makes three marks in the books; the first one is that this is the third time that these championships are held outside of Europe, being the previous two Placid, New York, USA and Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The second one, this city has hosted this kind of championships only one time before, in the 1972 Winter Olympics. And the third one is that this is the first year that it will happen in Asia.
There are more than 480 athletes representing 49 nations competing in Sapporo, accompanied by at least the same number of officials. Currently, 125 ladies from 33 nations and 197 men from 47 nations are registered to compete in cross-country events, and approximately 68 athletes from 17 nations will participate in the Nordic combined events, and 93 athletes from 21 nations in ski jumping. At least 1150 international media representatives are on-site to report as a total of 54 medals will be awarded in 18 events.
The hope of staging the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Sapporo, Japan were to promote the development of the FIS Nordic disciplines throughout Asia, especially in China and Korea. The Japanese already have long traditions in ski jumping but it would be nice to make them equally excited about cross-country.
Another mark that I did not mention before is that this will be the first time that cross-country championship competitions are held indoors, as well as the first time cross-country title events are held at night.
