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.
Next meeting took place in Beijing in Chinese Ski Association, Mr.
Gao Xuedong Deputy Secretary General, presented actual situation in Chinese rollerski.

There was pleasant time with Mr.Gao and opportunity to
exchange idea of Chinese Rollerski Triptych.
- Beijing Prologue up hill to Great Wall, Pursuit and Sprint downtown Beijing

All places are worldwide well-known tourist destinations and
