World championships for moguls, aerials get rescheduled

World championships for moguls and aerials skiing have been relocated to Almaty, Kazakhstan, from March 8-11.

The disciplines are usually part of a broader, biennial world freestyle skiing and snowboarding championships, but this year’s championships in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic venue of Zhangjiakou, China, were canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Almaty was the only other final bidder for the 2022 Olympics, awarded to Beijing in 2015.

Events in ski cross and snowboard cross were previously rescheduled for Idre Fjäll, Sweden, from Feb. 11-13.

The remaining events — ski and snowboard big air, halfpipe and slopestyle and Alpine snowboarding — have yet to be rescheduled.
