Ligety was the star of last year’s World Ski Championships, claiming three gold medals in the giant slalom, super-G and super-combined, while Shiffrin became the youngest American, at 17, to win world gold when she scooped the slalom crown. Their display made up for the absence of teammate and media darling Lindsey Vonn, who sustained a season-ending knee injury in a hor- rific crash during the opening women’s super-G.

  • 19-23 January 2021 FIS Snowboard World Cup in Slopestyle and Halfpipe Confirmed
    Press release LAAX, Switzerland, 2 October 2020 LAAX announces date for LAAX OPEN 2021: 19-23 January 2021 FIS Snowboard World Cup in Slopestyle and Halfpipe confirmed The LAAX OPEN, Europe’s long-standing and number one snowboarding event, is scheduled for 19-23 January 2021. International snowboard pro riders will take part in the Slopestyle and Halfpipe disciplines in the World Cup on Crap Sogn Gion, where they will demonstrate top-class freestyle skills and vie for points, prize money and prestige. This was confirmed this week during the digital FIS conference. The FIS has announced that the 2020/2021 tour will go ahead thanks to a compact concept, with the freestyle World Cup circuit taking place in the form of a safe bubble through close cooperation with the local organizers. The FIS Snowboard World Cup in LAAX takes place as part of the European package at the beginning of the new year. LAAX has been leading the way in freestyle for over three decades and has been voted the ‘World’s Best Freestyle Resort’ by the public and jury four years in a row at the World Ski Awards. The multiple-awarded resort continues to step forward as a freestyle trailblazer even in extraordinary times and is taking every step necessary to ensure a safe winter season and World Cup. During the summer, LAAX confirmed to its association partners that it would make no compromises when it comes to sport and would continue to organise the competitions for women and men in both Slopestyle and Halfpipe. There is a huge undertaking involved in getting everything set up perfectly, but this decision is a commitment for the riders and their sport.

As our sports system has diversifi ed and increased in complexity over the years, so too has the nature of these relationships. Now, as ever, a critical ingredient for our system’s continued success and sustainability is to ensure that we all remain on the same page—that our links between each other, our leading programs, our roles and relationships are clearly defi ned and understood by all. Sport operates in a dynamic, demanding and rapidly changing environment. The sources of change include advancing technologies, new structures and systems, products and services, people concerns and rising international competition and benchmarks. The Australian Government has fl agged the need to address this change by reforming our sports system and has outlined its approach in the paper Australian Sport: Emerging Challenges, New Directions. The Government has also appointed an independent expert panel headed by lawyer David Craw- ford to investigate ways to ensure both high performance and community level sport is prepared for those challenges. The Australian Sports Commission has already taken steps to review and evaluate our strategic po- sition and intent in active consultation with national sporting organisations and other stakeholders.
