With the sudden end of the season 2019/20, many careers of professional athletes abruptly came to an end. The way into the "new" everyday life had to be tackled in a very special time. Nevertheless, the FIS Cross-Country family would like to thank each and every athlete for their contribution to the sport. We are thrilled to see that many keep on sharing their experiences and get engaged in further fields of Cross-Country skiing.

Whatever chapter comes up next in your life, the FIS Cross-Country family wishes you all the best and good health.
