The FIS Telemark World Cup finally kicked off its 2012 season, starting with two sprint events in Rauris in Austria last 20th-21st January, followed by two sprint competitions in Bohinj, Slovenia on the 22nd-23rd January.

The organizing committee of Bihink is expecting the world's best telemarkers, who may look forward to great conditions. Last year they were forced to cancel the event due to heavy rain. With the Audi FIS Alpine Ski World Cup for ladies in Kranjska Gora on Saturday and Sunday, Slovenia will host two World Cup events this weekend. Bohinj will start its event on Saturday evening with a grand opening in Senožeta Srenja vas, a village in the region of Bohinj located in north-western Slovenia and a regular host of Telemark events for more than ten years. The Organizers are well experienced to host good and fair races for everyone.

Currently, 65 athletes from 12 different countries have signed up for the World Cup in Bohinj. For more information, start lists and results, visit: www.bohinj.si/telemark.
