How much snow is Ski World Cup sponsor Audi melting? Activists come up with world-first formula
A report by the New Weather Institute claims that winter sports sponsors like Audi and Equinor are responsible for melting nearly 2,000 square kilometers of snow annually due to their carbon emissions. The 'Dirty Snow' report introduces a formula to measure the climate impact of sponsorship deals with high-carbon industries. The report's release coincides with the FIS Ski World Cup in Austria, sponsored by Audi. The study highlights the irony of winter sports being endangered by their major sponsors and calls for a break from polluting companies to ensure the future of winter sports. Climate change has already led to the cancellation of ski races and the increased use of artificial snow in European ski resorts. Athletes and campaigners are urging winter sports to reject polluting sponsors and are advocating for transparency in sponsorship deals.

The TMO's role in the World Cup final between South Africa and New Zealand is examined, with specific incidents and referee decisions highlighted. The article suggests that while the TMO's intent is to protect player health, it may be excessively sanitizing the contact aspect of rugby, which is traditionally a combat sport. The article references opinions from the French media and former international referee Romain Poite, who believe that rugby's essence as a contact sport is being compromised.
