  • Ruka Sprint Classic
    PRE-COMPETITION FACTS RUKA TRIPLE, FIN Stage 1: Ladies‘ / Men‘s Sprint Classic COMPETITION COURSE Ladies: 1,4 km Men: 1,4 km Bonus seconds: WEATHER FORECAST LADIES For the 10th season in a row, Ruka will host the first sprint event of the World Cup calendar (2008-2017). Marit Bjørgen (NOR) has won four of the previous 11 sprint World Cup events in Ruka (all classic style), most of all athletes and one more than Petra Majdic (SLO). Bjørgen's four sprint World Cup wins in Ruka, are joint-most for her at a single venue along with Lahti and Düsseldorf. Bjørgen is on five podium finishes in sprint World Cup events in Ruka, joint- most along with Majdic. Bjørgen has only recorded more sprint World Cup podium finishes in Davos (6) than in Ruka (5). Stina Nilsson (SWE) has won the last three sprint World Cup events (free and classic) and could become the first non-Norwegian to claim four victories in a row since Majdic in 2009. Nilsson has won each of the last five sprint World Cup events she participated in. The last time she failed to claim victory was in the sprint free in Davos on 11 December 2016 (31st). On 26 November 2016, Nilsson won the sprint classic in Ruka, her first ever World Cup victory in classic style. Only Maiken Caspersen Falla (NOR, 10) has claimed more sprint World Cup wins since the start of 2014/15 than Nilsson (9). Last season's sprint World Cup winner Falla has reached the podium in 14 of her last 15 sprint World Cup appearances with a 31st-place finish in Drammen (classic style) on 8 March as the only exception.

  • FIS Cross-Country World Cup Quebec City to Host World's Elite Cross
    PRESS RELEASE For immediate release FIS Cross-Country World Cup Quebec City to host world’s elite cross-country skiers again in 2019 and 2020 Quebec City, Friday, October 6, 2017 – News doesn’t get any fresher than this! With the annual FIS (International Ski Federation) Technical Committee and FIS Cross-Country Committee meetings still underway in Zurich, it has just been confirmed that the FIS Cross-Country World Cup Finals will be coming back to Canada in March 2019 and 2020. “It’s a huge step forward for Quebec City to cement its place on the calendar for two years in a row, said FIS Race Director Pierre Mignerey. “We should stress, though, that the entire race calendars for both years are subject to FIS Council approval this November.” All bets, therefore, are on the world’s elite cross-country skiers taking the Plains of Abraham by storm from March 22 to 24, 2019. “The format of the 2020 event is yet to be confirmed, but the 2019 competition will be the same as what we saw in March this year,” added Gestev President, Patrice Drouin from his seat at the FIS meetings. That means it’s going to be all hands on deck for Quebec Winter Events Corporation and event producer Gestev in the next few months as preparation begins for these world-class events. The most recent FIS Cross-Country World Cup Finals attracted more than 60,000 people to Quebec City’s Plains of Abraham in March 2017 and the event was voted the top stop on the World Cup circuit last season, according to an FIS survey.

  • Toblacher “Wall of Fame”
    TOBLACHER “WALL OF FAME” Die "Wall of Fame" von Toblach ist voller Champions, und wenn man in der „Goldliste“ zurückkehrt, sieht man eine Eliteliste, die bezugnehmend auf den Sieg von Arianna Follis bei der ersten Tour de Ski in Toblach im nächsten Jahr, mit etwas italienischer Zufriedenheit, ergänzt werden wird. Ausgehend von den Damen wurde 2018 die 10km in freier Technik der Tour de Ski von der Russin Natalia Nepryaeva gewonnen, begleitet vom Sprintsieg der Schwedin Stina Nilsson. Im Jahr 2017 fanden eine Reihe von Weltcup-Rennen mit Siegen der legendären Marit Bjoergen, Charlotte Kalla, einer der jüngsten Siegerinnen in der Geschichte der Tour de Ski, Natalia Matveeva und Yulia Belorukova im Sprint-Team und Matveeva im Sprint statt. Das Jahr 2017 war auch eine "Tour de Ski" mit einer 5km langen Strecke in freier Technik, die der U.S. amerikanischen Jessica Diggins vorbehalten war, die 2016 bei derselben Art von Herausforderung bereits zu ihrem Schlag ausgeholt hatte. In den Jahren 2015 und 2014 gingen die Siege an die Norweger, mit Therese Johaug und Maiken Caspersen Falla in der Weltmeisterschaft und sogar vier aufeinanderfolgende Erfolge von Bjoergen, zwei in der Tour de Ski und zwei im Weltcup. Astrid Jacobsen Uhrenholdt der “norge-Truppe“, brillierte auch in einem Rennen von 15km in freier Technik, wobei die polnische Meisterin Justyna Kowalczyk 2013 die Siege bei der Toblacher Tour de Ski in klassischer und freier Technik übernahm. Im Jahr 2012 holte Marit Bjoergen Superstar, weitere drei aufeinanderfolgende Erfolge (15km freie Technik - Sprint - 3 km klassische Technik), wobei sich die Norwegerin mit der Polin Kowalczyk abwechselte, welche 2011 die 15km in freier Technik gewann.

  • Foundations of Excellence
    Foundations of Excellence Annual Report 2004-2005 Message to Stakeholders It is our firm belief that the true value of sport to Canadian society will only be realized if our sport system is anchored on a strong ethical foundation. We know Canadians invest in sport because they believe sport can and should contribute to our society. Canadians want their sport system, from the backyard rinks to the world stage, to build character and ethical behaviours through the promotion and reflection of a core set of Canadian values. Sport built on these values can and will enrich the lives of those who participate. But just as importantly, sport can build better communities and a stronger, more united country. Sport tainted by unethical behaviour, such as doping or violence, will have a negative impact on those who participate and on their communities, and ultimately lead to a loss of public confidence and support. The Canadian Sport Policy process and the subsequent National Strategy for Ethical Conduct in Sport (the True Sport Strategy) have defined the key sport values as fairness, inclusion, excellence and fun. These values relate to how we prepare our athletes, and they relate to our decisions and approaches to the pursuit of excellence in sport. How we as Canadians pay attention to ethics in sport is therefore very much at the heart of the CCES mandate. It is in fact our core business. The past year has seen the CCES help put in place important ethical foundations that we believe will both protect the integrity of Canadian sport values and also ensure that our sport system delivers tremendous value to individuals, communities and to our collective identity as Canadians.
