There were three of them. There will ultimately only be two applicants left to compete for the hosting of the first edition of the FIS Games in 2028. The International Ski and Snowboard Federation made it official at the end of last week: the race will bring together a Swiss dossier, carried by Saint-Moritz and the Engadine valley, in the canton of Graubünden, and an articulated Norwegian project. around Lillehammer and Hafjell. Slovenia, whose name was mentioned as a third candidate, does not appear in the list revealed by the international body. The two candidates must submit their final file before March 31, 2024. The FIS decision will be announced in June 2024 during its annual congress. As a reminder, the FIS Games will take place every four years starting in 2028, halfway through the Olympics. They will bring together for 16 days all the Olympic ski disciplines – alpine, freestyle, cross-country, Nordic combined, ski jumping and snowboarding – plus a few non-Olympic events such as telemark, speed skiing and freeride. Paralympic competitions will also be on the program.
