GREETINGS FROM THE
CHAIRPERSON OF THE LOCAL
ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
We are absolutely delighted to bring the first ever World
Championship to our fine City. This is the first time the World
Para Nordic Skiing Championships will be hosted in Canada!
This is huge! This is the biggest event in Para Nordic Skiing
other than the Paralympics. As such, this event will attract
recent Paralympians and others that will awe and inspire. These
are more than elite athletes – they exemplify the absolute pinnacle of human
perseverance through incredible athletic achievement.
We love the fact that we’re bringing Prince George to the world stage, and
hosting the best Para Nordic skiers in the world. Through contemporary live
streaming of the World Championships via social media (that also enables local
to national broadcasting), this event will reach over 2 million viewers worldwide.
We know Prince George and our amazing people can deliver an incredible
experience and our community and corporate partners are a critical part of this.
We have worked extremely hard to make the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club/Otway
Nordic Centre a world-class facility, and we look forward to creating a truly
magical experience through the World Championships and we warmly welcome
you to Prince George!

GREETINGS FROM THE
INTERNATIONAL PARALYMPIC
COMMITTEE
Welcome to the Prince George 2019 World Para Nordic
Skiing Championships.
Canada has a rich heritage of hosting winter Para sport events.
Vancouver staged the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games, Panorama
hosted the 2015 Para Alpine Skiing World Championships, while
Big White held the 2017 Para Snowboard equivalent.
Having successfully staged the 2015 Canada Winter Games, we are hugely
excited about what Prince George 2019 can offer to the Para athletes and the
Paralympic Movement.
The World Para Nordic Skiing Championships will feature more than 130 athletes
from 21 countries who will compete in Para biathlon and Para cross-country skiing
at the Caledonia Nordic Ski Club.
As the first major Para Nordic skiing competition after the PyeongChang 2018
Paralympic Winter Games it will be fascinating to see many Paralympic and world
champion athletes in action. No doubt they will line-up against a number of new
athletes starting out this fresh Paralympic cycle towards Beijing 2022.
The Local Organising Committee, with the support of Cross Country Canada and
the Canadian Paralympic Committee, have worked fantastically together with World
Para Nordic Skiing to deliver this event.
We look forward to exciting days in Prince George.
Thank you,
ANDREW PARSONS
President

PRINCE GEORGE AND
THE SURROUNDING REGION
Canada has a total of ten Provinces and three territories.
Prince George is a city in the central interior of the province of
British Columbia. For thousands of years, First Nations have lived in
the area around the meeting point of the Nechako River and BC’s
greatest river, the Fraser – a natural staging point for river trade and
transportation by the Lheidli T’enneh people (the word Lheidli
means “where the two rivers flow together”).
With a current population of approximately 80,000, Prince George
is the largest city in Northern British Columbia. Situated at the
junction of two major rivers and along western foothills of the Rocky
Mountains, Prince George is well known for its surrounding natural
attractions (rivers, lakes, forests, mountain, wildlife) and associated
year-round activities (Nordic /alpine / backcountry and Heli skiing,
mountain biking, hiking, canoeing, fishing). Prince George boasts
all the amenities of a major city: contemporary and locally inspired
dining, unique shops, craft breweries, winery, farmers market and
a vibrant culture.

Programme 2019 | 13THE 2019 WORLD PARA NORDIC
SKIING CHAMPIONSHIPS
TWO SPORTS IN ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
The World Para Nordic Skiing Championships are held every two years and, after the Paralympic Winter
Games, this event represents the pinnacle of achievement for para Nordic athletes. These athletes, men
and women, who are grouped into three classes for competition (sitting, standing, and visually impaired)
will compete in four cross country skiing and four biathlon medal events over a period of 10 days. They
truly embody the best of Paralympic sport and the Paralympic movement.
Between 120 and 150 athletes from just under 20 different Nations, over 200 coaches and officials, and
hundreds of visitors will be in Prince George for the competition. Following less than 12 months after the
2018 Paralympic Winter Games in PyeongChang Korea, the 2019 World Para Nordic Skiing Championships
will be an exciting follow up for the 114 contested world championship medals and represents an
opportunity for us to continue growing the sport around the world.
The competitions will consist of the following disciplines :
BIATHLON (BT) CROSS-COUNTRY (CC)
Biathlon sprint Cross-country sprint (free technique)
Biathlon individual Cross-country middle distance
Biathlon middle distance Cross-country long distance (classic technique)
Cross-country relay (open/mixed)
PARA CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING
Para cross-country skiing (CC) first appeared at the 1976 Winter Paralympic Games in Ornskoldsvik,
Sweden. The competition is open to athletes with physical impairments and visual impairments. Depending
on functional impairment, a competitor may be a standing skier (a standing athlete who is visually
impaired may use a sighted guide) or an athlete my use a sit-ski, a chair equipped with a set of skis.
Male and female athletes compete in short distance, middle distance, or long distance (ranging from
2.5 km to 20 km) or participate in the team relay using classical technique (diagonal stride) or free
techniques (skate skiing). Cross-country skiing is governed by the IPC WPNS following modified rules
of the International Ski Federation ( FIS) and is practiced by athletes in over 25 countries.
14 | World Para Nordic Skiing ChampionshipsPARA BIATHLON Para Biathlon ( BT) was introduced in Innsbruck in 1988 for athletes with a physical impairment, and in 1992, athletes with a visual impairment also became eligible to compete. The events consist of a 2.0 km or 5.5 km course skied three to five times in the free technique for a total race distance between 6 –15 km. Between the two stages, athletes must hit a set of 5 targets located at a distance of 10 metres from the firing line. Each missed target is penalized by either an increase in the overall time or by having to ski a penalty lap for each missed target. The most important success factor lies in the capability of alternating the skills of physical endurance and shooting accuracy during the competition. Athletes with a visual impairment are assisted by acoustic signals, which, depending on signal intensity, indicate when the athlete is on target. The sport is governed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) World Para Nordic Skiing (WPNS) with co-ordination by the IPC/WPNS Technical Committee following the modified rules of the International Biathlon Union ( IBC). STARTING CLASSES AND PERCENTAGE SYSTEM Athletes compete in three different categories: Sitting, Standing and Visually Impaired. Within these three categories, a time-factor system makes fair competition between different types of disabilities possible. Within the B-Class (Visually Impaired), there are three sub-catogories: B1, B2 and B3. The time of the B3 athletes (who see the best), is factored at 100%, or normal time. B1 athletes (complete blindness) race with a factor of 88%. This means the clock runs 12% slower for those athletes. The same is true for the sit-skiers, with classes ranging from LW12 (100%) to LW10 (86%), and the physically disabled standing (LW2 to LW9). This system ensures the comparison of the highest possible number of athletes while maintaining a level playing field during competition.

MASCOT – FRASER THE MOOSE
We’re delighted to partner with Tourism Prince George in having a
very special edition of “Fraser the Moose” as the official mascot for
the Prince George 2019 World Para Nordic Skiing Championships.
The moose is such a well-known wildlife symbol of Canada and they
are very characteristic of our region. Tourism Prince George has
done a fantastic job of representing this spirit in Fraser the Moose,
and we encourage you bring a little version of Fraser home with you
(they can be purchased at the Nordic Centre). In addition, all medal
winning athletes will receive this special edition of Fraser the Moose
as a lasting memory of Prince George.
