Milan (AP) – As expected, the Nordic World Ski Championships 2027 will take place in Falun, Sweden. This was announced by the world association Fis after a meeting in Milan.
After 1954, 1974, 1993 and 2015, the small town with a great winter sports tradition is hosting the major event for the fifth time, which is held every two years. Falun was the only applicant, so the award to the Swedes was only a formality. Before that, the 2023 title fights will take place in Planica, Slovenia, and 2025 in Trondheim, Norway.
As expected, the German Ski Association (DSV) also got the next event in Nordic skiing: The Ski Flying World Championships will take place in Oberstdorf in 2026. Since there are only four suitable ski flying hills worldwide, the Heini-Klopfer ski flying hill in the Allgäu alternates with the facilities in Planica, Vikersund (Norway) and Bad Mitterndorf in Austria. Here, too, there were no opposing candidates for the award.
