Congratulations to the following athletes who have been nominated to the Paralympic stream of the National Ski Team based on the criteria outlined in the Para Nordic Canada National Ski Team (PNST) Selection Criteria 2024-25 and to the athletes who will be nominated to Sport Canada to receive AAP carding under the Para Nordic Athlete Assistance Program Selection Criteria 2024-25.

 

Selection Rational

  • The goal of PNST and AAP selection criteria is to select athletes who demonstrate the potential for a podium performance.
  • For World Cup Team selection, the FIS PN points listed are a combination of the best of two (2) races.
  • Athletes are listed in priority order for AAP carding nominations, as there is no priority selection order for selection to the PNST World Cup team.

 

The deadline to appeal PN nominations is Wednesday, May 8, 2024 11:59 PM in the time zone of the athlete’s current residence. Appeals must be submitted in writing to Nordiq Canada’s Appeal Manager, Stefano Mingarelli, at .
