13th March, Friday. Diary, pictures - no results

Round 1 approach

The Meet Director looks skywards at the end of the first round
yesterday evening.  Today, no 7.30 start, instead he was helping to dig
cars out of the Hotel car park.  It snowed steadily all night and is
still snowing!  However it is forcast to improve for the afternoon.

Unfortunately it did not improve enough to enable any jumps to be
made.  It was a long a dismal day!  In the evening a Competitors
Meeting was held and various points were raised for the committee's
consideration, including whether or not to remove the qualifying ski
run.  There were several arguments put forward, both for and against. 
The committee welcomed input and will consider the various ideas for
the future.  Although there were potential bids on the table for the
next couple of years, bidders were needed for 2011 and 2012.  The
Russians made an impassioned plea for more nations in the IPC community
to enter teams in the future.  They are putting together a proposal for
ParaSki to be a demonstration sport at the Winter Olympics to be held
in Russia.

The results to date are at the foot of yesterday's entry.

7.30 streamer run in the morning.
