IFSS General Assembly postponed
The online General Assembly that was to take place November 23 2020 has been postponed - the new date will be announced shortly.
Due to unforeseen technical reasons and the Covid-19 pandemic situation in Sweden that has worsen the last days the decision has been taken by Council to postpone the online General Assembly. With increased restrictions on travel and meetings, it has been a struggle to coordinate how Council members along with technicians could safely administer the meeting, because even though it is an online meeting for all delegates, council members must be present to coordinate and run the meeting. This did not prove to be manageable given the current situation. I do not want to risk that anyone becomes infected and sick.
I trust you all respect and understand this decision of the Council. These are unpredictable times that we all live in and some unpredictable decisions have to be made and I hope this does not cause too much inconvenience to the delegates.
Sincerely
Helen Lundberg
IFSS President

Polardistans 2021 to double as IFSS and WSA Long-distance World Championship 2021
We are pleased to announce that Polardistans, the long-established long-distance race for purebred sled dogs, has joined forces with the IFSS and the WSA. Through this unique partnership Long-Distance World Championship titles will be on offer at Polardistans in both purebred as well as all-breed classes.
Polardistans will take place from 2-6 March 2021 in Särna (Sweden) and will kick off the largest sled dog festival ever celebrated in Europe. From 2-14 March 2021, close to 500 purebred and all-breed sled dog teams are expected to compete for World Championship titles in Skidog, Sled Sprint and Mid-Distance and Skidog and Sled Long-Distance classes at three venues (Särna, Ramundberget and Åsarna) in central Sweden.
At Polardistans, in the 300 km race World Championship titles will be available for purebred teams in 1-4 dog pulka as well as 8- and 12-dog sled classes and for all-breed teams in 8- and 12-dog sled classes. The IFSS long-distance race rules supplemented by a number of Polardistans specific rules apply.
No one can predict what will happen during the next months when it comes to the Covid-19 pandemic. We might face new travel restrictions worldwide and other regulations that will affect how sport events can be organized. Therefore, Polardistans, the WSA and IFSS will make their final decision on whether the 2021 On-Snow World Championships can go ahead by 1 December 2020.
