Dear Lelani, Jack and Scott
I am really sorry about the problems caused by the
hurricane and the influence it had on the superb programme you have prepared
for our World Junior Championships. I followed your fight against the hours
closely as I was in regular contact with Bob Corson. I can imagine your
disappointment after all the hours of work and preparation to organise the
event properly, but I hope that the good results of the athletes helps a little
bit to compensate your frustration.
On behalf of the IWSF and also personally I want to
congratulate you and also the Chief Judge, Harry de Laat, how you have handled
the difficult situation and that you have made it possible to finish the
Championships in time and with excellent skiing conditions for all
participants. You really have achieved an outstanding performance.
You may have heard already that we were also faced
with terrible problems at the World University Championships in
We are an outdoor sport and depend strongly on the
weather. Fortunately such a situation doesn’t happen very often. I can
only hope that this misfortune will give you more than ever the ambition to
start thinking on the organisation of a future main event.
With great thanks and best regards
Kuno Ritschard
