End clap. The Canadian city of Calgary, Alberta, will not organize the freestyle ski and snowboard world championships. She had applied to resume the event, after China's withdrawal for health reasons, and planned to host the competitions between February 24 and March 11, 2021. It was still necessary to obtain the green light, and above all funding, from state and national authorities. They never came. The project leaders therefore had to face the facts and withdraw their file. “ Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and complications in obtaining health clearances, it has been determined that it will not be possible to move forward with the Freestyle Skiing, Snowboarding and Freestyle Skiing and Mogul Skiing World Championships tentatively planned for Calgary, Canada », announced the International Ski Federation (FIS) in a press release, specifying that it was still looking for a fallback solution. Sweden would hold the rope. The skicross and snowboardcross world championships, also initially planned in China, on the sites of the Beijing 2022 Winter Games, have been taken over by the Swedish resort of Idre Fjäll. They are happening now.
