Holmenkollen Five-Mile Races Saved for 2026/27

The FIS council met in Slovenia on Thursday and decided to retain the five‑mile races at Holmenkollen for the 2026/27 season, preventing the events from being cancelled. The vote followed a debate over the placement of Oslo races in the calendar and concerns that participant numbers could fall.

FIS officials Ulf Morten Aune and Espen Bjervig praised the outcome, noting the importance of the races for Norwegian and international ski culture. The final decision will be confirmed at the FIS congress later this spring. solvita.blog
