<p>Since his arrival in Canada, Ivan has been a member of the XC.com racing club of Calgary. In his first year in Canada, Ivan survived financially on support and sponsorship from XC.com and from prize purses won on the Canadian circuit. As Canadian skiers well know, this is not “living largeâ€. In the 2004/05 season, Ivan expanded his racing horizons, added membership in the US-based Subaru Factory Team to his resume and became a fixture at the top of the podium on the more commercially-viable Super Tour circuit. </p>
<p>Ivan will be joined in Canada this winter by his wife and son. As Ivan will not be eligible for financial support through Sport Canada’s Athlete Assistance Program until he has completed the citizenship process — potentially a three year wait from the present date — Cross Country Canada has recognized the need to find a mechanism to support this deserving athlete while permitting him to develop his potential within the NST program and compete primarily in Canada in the short term and for Canada in the near future.</p>
