Winter Atomiades 2014: CERN skiers win 31 medals!
The 12th Winter Atomiades took place at Flachau, Austria, from 8 to 15 March 2014. The event, organised by the Association of the Sports Communities of the European Research Institutes (see here), brought together 18 research centres, including CERN, AIT, ESRF, PSI and many others, with a total of about 280 participants.
Lots of fun and a great result for the 13 CERN skiers at the 2014 Winter Atomiades in Flachau, Austria.

The team of 13 athletes from six different CERN departments won 31 medals across all disciplines, in a spirit of fun and fair play. CERN came second in the general ranking of all participating institutes!
The next Winter Atomiades will be organised by ILL Grenoble in 2017 and the forthcoming summer Atomiades will be organised by JRC Geel, in Belgium in June 2015.
All participants would like to thank the CERN Administration and Staff Association for their support.
