The 2015/2016 FIS Freestyle Ski Aerials World Cup Press Conference was held in Beijing yesterday. The event was attended by sports officers, executives, guests and more than fifty members of the international media.

The National Stadium, better known as the Bird’s Nest, will host the two-day competition which will run from December 19 this year.
