Team Relay as planned at the final of Viessmann World Cup
Berchtesgaden (pps) The final of the Viessmann Team Relay World Cup, presented by Money Service Group, will take place as scheduled at Sigulda, Latvia, on February 20. The World Championship Team Relay final will not be repeated for organisational and time reasons.
As planned, Jacques Rogge, the President of the International Olympic Committee, IOC, will attend the Team Relay at Sigulda with regard to the inclusion of the competition into the Olympic Programme on the occasion of his visit to the National Olympic Committee of Latvia.
The reason for the slip-up at the Team Relay final at the 42nd FIL World Championships at Cesana, Italy, on January 30 has since been determined. A statement by the soft and hardware developing company clearly explained that a software error was responsible for the slip-up. Mechanical errors or false operation by FIL officials have been excluded. The error has been resolved and it can be ruled out that the error could be repeated, the statement reads. The statement has been forwarded by FIL to IOC Sports Director Christophe Dubi.
