Minnesota USA, July 7, 2016 – Sleddog athletes from the USA made a grand showing in this past season’s IFSS (International Federation of Sleddog Sports) World Cup Series. This is a testament to their fine athleticism and skills as well as to that of their canine partners. It is also a tribute to the excellent races that were part of the year’s World Cup Series. USA athletes from throughout the USA participated in races in both the USA and Canada and other countries in the world. The top three World finishers in each class receive automatic berths to the next World Championships in the participating discipline.

The IFSS World Cup Series is a designation used by Olympic and International Sports Federations (IFs) to ascribe a worldwide ranking system for their sport’s participants. In a given year, IFs set up a World Cup Series of competitive events through which participants earn points and are subsequently ranked on a worldwide basis according to their performance in these premier events.

Following is a list of the USA athletes and their placings. Athletes are ranked in North America and in the World. Congratulations to all of the top finishers. USA athletes showed many multiple class wins, and they deserve special recognition for their accomplishments. Way to go USA!
