December 23, 2010 – The National Cross-Country Ski Education Foundation has pledged to fund all U. S. athletes  who represent the U.S. at the 2011 World Nordic Ski Championships and whose expenses are not funded by the US Ski Team.

Dave Knoop, NCCSEF director, states, “The World Championships are the premier Nordic competition outside of the Olympics.  We wanted to make sure each athlete who qualifies for the Championships could focus on their preparation for the games and not worry about covering the cost for this trip.”

The World Nordic Ski Championships will take place in Oslo, Norway February 23-March 7, 2011. For more information visit www.oslo2011.no/en/. For more information on the U.S. World Championship Team qualification and funding standards visit USSA.org, sports, cross country, advancement
