Race Marshal Olle Rosén traveled from Sweden to Kazakhstan to be an instructor at the first judge seminar there organized by IFSS. The seminar took place October 30th to November 1st just days prior to the first ever IFSS World Cup event in Kazakhstan. Olle Rosen was also Race Marshal at the event.  

Svetlana Khudyakova president of KFSDS was very pleased and thankful that Olle Rosén came to Kazakhstan both as a Race Marshal and to hold the judge seminar. To educate race judge’s worldwide is one of the most important programs within IFSS. This fall seminars have been organized in Italy, Canada and Kazakhstan, the work will continue and next up is a seminar in Mexico.

The Championships will be held at the Skiing and Sports arena Lugnet in Falun, Sweden. The trails will use the ordinary ski-trails, which are suitable for Sleddog competitions. All trails are 4-6 meters wide. The trails have long, but not too steep, climbs and downhill and offers challenging and exiting mushing!

European Masters classes

IFSS Council are in the process of preparing a proposal for a IFSS Master Championships. As a first trial and to evaluate the interest in such an event specific European Masters classes in Skijoring will be held outside the ordinary Elite and Junior Championships.

• These classes have no limit to the number of entries from each IFSS Member Federation.
• All participants must hold a valid DID number.
• A competitor cannot compete in both a Masters class and the Elite Championships.
• The best will be awarded as European Masters medalists.

I am very pleased to announce that IFSS members voted in favor to upgrade Mexico - FMDPT from a Provisional member to a full voting member of IFSS. 

The first World Cup race in Mexico is scheduled in December 2019.

Welcome Mexico!

Sincerely
Helen Lundberg
