Home > National Ski Team > Selection Criteria

 The objectives of establishing criteria are to ensure that:

1. athletes and teams representing Canada in cross-country skiing are credible and competitive;
2. a successful high performance program is sustained over the mid and long term; and
3. athletes receive the required information in a complete, accurate and timely manner.

Criteria are intended to state the requirements and standards – both objective and subjective – which will be applied in the selection process, and how they will be applied. In general, selection of athletes and support to selected athletes will be prioritized based on: objective measurements – results achieved in specified races, as measured against international standards through the Canadian Points List (CPL) or Fédération Internationale de Ski (FIS) points; and subjective assessments – relating to an athlete’s commitment, assessed potential and ability to perform and contribute in a team context

Other factors which will be considered in the selection process are:

1. the CCC Ends
2. the HP Operational Plan
3. the NST Budget, which may be a limiting factor
