In coming season Chinese Ski Association is going to host three cross country FIS events. Changchun is the place where the World Cup in sprint will terminate. In biathlon China have respectable results too.

Nowadays sport results in mentioned disciplines cant be separated from rollerski. This is the reason for popularity growth of rollerski, as well as the fact that no special sport objects are required. It is possible to participate in this sport on plain or up hill.

The promotion of rollerski will be more effective if such events take place on well-known scenic areas, and it will bring more enjoy to all of us.

Taking this in consideration brought up meeting in Qingdao (Olympic City 2008) Sports Bureau. Brief promotion has been carried out with idea to bring rollerski as demo sport on Olympic 2008.
