Cross Country Skiing
For women, the two events have been cancelled due to less than 5 countries rule. Those events are 3x5km relay and team sprint. Men will have 5 events and women will have 3 events. Age restriction is for longer distance, remember to check the different age limit for young skiers. Please check here for Age Eligibility. Similarly, the team outfit should be only max 400cm2, please see regulation of the Deaflympics.
The final registrations with the names of each athlete indicating event entered must be submitted to the Secretariat no later than 04 February 2011. Around August 2010 you will know more about the competition and training schedule.
I hope that the tournament will be about fair play and it will determines who wins. We are looking forward to meet you soon, one year is a short time!
The 1st World Deaf Cross Country Skiing Championships in 2013 is vacant. If your country is willing host, please send application forms and necessary documents before 31 January 2011. For details, click here.
