Event: World Skiing Championship for Journalists SCIJ 2005 Location: Jeseník Mountains and Prague Date: January 2005 Assessment: The event was attended by 170 foreign journalists from 31 countries and 30 Czech journalists. We recorded a total of cca 100 articles and reports from the Championships in various foreign media and dozens of reports in the Czech press. The snow-covered slopes around the Preissnitz Health Spa, where the participants were accommodated, provided a first-class venue for all to display their skiing skills. The fully professional organisation of the Championships, including the accommodation facilities, was appreciated by the participants; “I was impressed by the Jeseník centre. I am researching an article on skiing in the Czech Republic for a ski and snow-boarding magazine.” Gill Martin from the UK.
