Interesting Read about Olympic Qualification

This article is about snowboarding, but it translates into skiing as well. Basically, skiiers/boarders are pissed that X games and dew tour dont matter for olympic qualification, only FIS events. As a result, riders will miss dew tour events to compete in FIS events, in hopes of olympic qualification. It forces riders to choose between competing in a great event NOW or competing in a shitty event NOW to compete into a pinnacle event down the road.



What do u guys think?

I think a repost is a repost.

IDK much about the FIS, but every time I see a post about them it is usually bad. So like does the FIS need to get their shit together or something?

The difference is that the FIS rejected snowboard's equivalent of the AFP, the TTR. Read this article to understand skiing's situation with the FIS. https://www.newschoolers.com/readnews/4220.0/AFP---FIS-Meet-To-Discuss-The-Olympics
