100 Days to go until World Para Snow Sports Championships

In 100 days Norway will welcome almost 400 Para athletes for the Opening Ceremony of a World Championships on a scale that has never been seen before.

For the first time in history, Para alpine skiing, Para Nordic skiing and Para snowboard will host their races at the same location as part of the inaugural World Para Snow Sports Championships.

A star-studded field of athletes will descend on the Norwegian co-host ski resorts, Lillehammer and Hafjell, in February to race for 82 sets of medals.

With just over a year to go until the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games, Lillehammer 2021 promises to offer an action-packed sneak peak at the athletes who could become the next Paralympic champions.

Two young stars are in top contention for medals in Para snowboard. Ben Tudhope, the 20-year-old overall Crystal Globe winner, was outstanding over the past season. He won his first overall Crystal Globe and getting named Australia’s Paralympic Athlete of the Year.

Tudhope’s rival in the SB-LL2 class, Zach Miller, has also shown great progress, winning a World Cup race in dramatic fashion at the start of last season and looking like the rider set to continue USA’s successful record in Para snowboard.
