Budget and Cooperation

Before this year’s team presentation, the national team management put forward a long list of drastic cuts for the elite national teams. 

From the cut list, it appears that in addition to reducing the number of skiers from 24 to 20 athletes, there will be fewer gathering days, less support equipment at gatherings, less access to doctors and physiotherapy during meetings, and less flexibility regarding travel and individual plans.
