The FIS Development Programme Summer Camp for Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined was held in Rasnov (ROU) from 26th September- 2nd October 2016.

25 male and female athletes benefited from the experience of Kimmo Savolainen and Sandro Sambugaro who led the group. The specialist and Nordic Combined ski jumpers had the chance to jump on the hill of Rasnov. The training programme also offered the possibility to compete in two FIS Cup competitions and in two Carpathian Cup events.
Sandro Pertile, Training Camp Coordinator reported: “After three years of the FIS Development Programme, the level of participants in Nordic Training Camps has been steadily increasing which is a very positive sign.”
