Will the economic crisis wreak havoc on the international winter sports calendar? According to'AFP, the Swedish Ski Federation was forced to cancel a stage of the Big Air World Cup, one of the freestyle ski disciplines, due to failure to find the private partners necessary for its financing. The competition was scheduled to take place on November 25 and 26 in Falun, central Sweden. “ We failed to raise the funds, recognized Stefan Karlsson, in charge of snowboarding and freestyle skiing at the federation. This summer and fall, the global context has changed, rates have increased, there have been concerns around the war... Many things have meant that companies have been affected and can no longer invest in such events"
