Rogla in Slovenia steps in to host FIS Alpine Snowboard World Championship Thursday, 28 January 2021 Rogla in Slovenia has stepped in to host the International Ski Federation (FIS) Alpine Snowboard World Championships in March. This year's Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championships were scheduled to be held in Zhangjiakou in China from February 18 to 28. Competition was due to double up as a test event for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, but those plans were scuppered after the Chinese Government banned almost all international competitions from taking place in the country. This ban was imposed in response to fears over a second wave of COVID-19 hitting China.
