WC Chaux-Neuve rescheduled to 21st January

After Kuusamo, Klingenthal and Schonach the continuous bad snow situation in Europe forced another WC delay. The Nordic Combined World Cup in France will be postponed one week to 21.-23. January.

 „The current snow situation on site and the rainfall and warm temperatures forecasted for this weekend do not allow us to host the World Cup on the 16th and 17th of January as planned. In agreement with the FIS, we took the opportunity to postpone the event to the following weekend which was currently open on the competition calendar“, OC Coordinator Samuel Lopes said.

„We hope that the cold weather and snow expected for the middle of next week will help us to keep this event in Chaux-Neuve. This postponement requires an exceptional extra dedication in terms of logistics and manpower on part of the 500 volunteers of the World Cup but the OC assures an optimal reception of the 200 athletes, coaches and officials as well as the 15.000 expected spectators.“

 The final decision and snow control will take place on 15th January, after this date also a new timetable will be communicated.
