More than 50 competitors from embassies of Germany, France, Austria, Slovakia, Japanese, New Zealand, Venezuela, Bolivian and Egypt as well as staff of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross headquarters in the Tehran attended the event.
Austrian skiers managed to come first in all three age categories, which featured youngsters, males and females.
