Ski sprint is the ski discipline that has gained most popularity and attention in the past few years – with good reason. It is simply the most exciting form of ski racing. The Changchun FIS World Cup Final is designed for media and the live audience. Set in an outdoor sports stadium, the skiers race two loops altogether 1,100 meters – a format almost identical to Track & Field long distance running. The stadium can seat over 30,000 spectators and the live TV broadcast will be distributed to some 100 TV channels worldwide – making the reach-out of this event enormous.
