World Championship after the World Anti-Doping Agency accepted it
would be "legally and practically impossible" to strip the nation of
the event.

Russia could be stripped of next year s World Shooting Championships after the sport s global governing body reopened the bidding process for the event amid pressure from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
In a letter to its members, seen by
insidethegames, the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) said WADA had requested the ISSF to re-examine the possibility to re-assign this event to another National Federation to comply with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling in the Russian doping scandal.
Under the terms of the range of punishments imposed on Russia by WADA and partially upheld by the CAS, the country cannot host major events for the two-year period in which they apply.
The list of amazing athletes born or based in Colorado is impressive. Winter sports standouts who lived here during the height of their fame include alpine skiers Lindsey Vonn and Mikaela Shiffrin, as well as snowboarder Red Gerard and many others.
