The contests set are as follows:
- Para World Championship in biathlon (March 11-15 in Östersund)
- Para-World Cup Final in Nordic Skiing (March 17-22 in Östersund)
- Para World Cup Final in Alpine (March 23-29 in Åre)
- European Para Hockey Championship (April 16-26 in Östersund).
- Unfortunately, we do not have the opportunity to carry out our arrangements in a secure manner according to the rule book that now applies. Unfortunately, the amended regulations leave us without alternatives. Our target group is to a greater extent in the risk zone and the only responsible is that we, like other events, have to cancel, says Gun Fahlander the organizing committee chair in a press release.
"Extra mournful"Johan Strid understands the message.
- The region of Jämtland and Härjedalen has a fantastic commitment to parasport from breadth to the world's foremost elite. Therefore, it feels extra sad that the situation is like this, of course. We obviously support the organizing committee's decision to suspend the competitions, he says.
