Qualification of Host Nation at FIS Alpine Ski World Cup, Yanqin (CHN)

The Council approved the following request of the Chinese Ski Association supported by the Alpine Committee. In spring 2019 the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup qualification criteria were changed whereby the athletes require 80 FIS points in the speed events, and in addition to be ranked in the top 150 on the FIS Points list. An exception from the additional requirement of the top 150 FIS Points list ranking at the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup men’s speed events in 2020 and women’s speed events in 2021 is granted for China in view of the importance of having a Chinese athlete/s in the first ever FIS Alpine Ski World Cup in China and the first official Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games Test Event. The FIS point level of 80 FIS points remains nevertheless an obligatory requirement for the Chinese athletes for safety reasons and full responsibility for the capacity of the athlete/s who are not ranked in the top 150 in downhill or super G must be accepted by the Chinese Ski Association coaches.
