Zreče – The Slovenian ski resort of Rogla is hosting a segment of the Freestyle Ski and Snowboarding World Championships, with the parallel giant slalom and parallel slalom disciplines scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Slovenians have high expectations in both events and a big favourite in veteran Žan Košir.
The resort in the north-east of the country is hosting this part of the snowboarding competitions of the championship after the original hosts in China had cancelled the event altogether.
The International Ski Federation (FIS) then split the event into several segments and picked new hosts, awarding the parallel giant slalom and parallel slalom to Rogla.

Cortina d’Ampezzo – Snowboarder Žan KoÅ¡ir won bronze in the parallel giant slalom in a World Cup race in Italy’s Carezza on Thursday to return to the podium after almost a year. Austria celebrated a double victory with Benjamin Karl in first and Andreas Prommegger in second place.
This is the 19th World Cup podium finish for Košir, three-time Olympic medallist, and the 70th for the Slovenian team.
“I’m very happy with this podium result. It’s been more than a year since I was last in the top three. We obviously did a good job in the summer. Thank you, team,” said KoÅ¡ir.
