Trondheim also hosted the World Ski Championships in 1997. The last time the championship was held in Norway was in 2011 with Oslo as the organizer.
The confirmation was announced by the president of the FIS, Gian-Franco Kasper.
– Congratulations Trondheim! Kasper said Saturday.
– Thank you for the confidence, said the mayor of Trondheim, Rita Ottervik, in the transmission to FIS.
This time, Trondheim was alone on the applicants list, and the award was more or less a mere formality. Trondheim should have been awarded the championship at this spring’s congressional meeting, but the crown pandemic meant that the FIS congress was postponed until October 4 and then until June 5, 2021.
First thoughts
The first thoughts on a WC reached the drawing board in 2009, and in the fall of 2014 the Municipality of Trondheim signaled that they would apply for the WC Ski in 2021. Guri Knotten was hired as project manager, while Mayor Rita Ottervik was became chair of the application committee. On May 1, 2015, the Norwegian Ski Association officially launched Trondheim as a candidate.
But Trondheim was unsuccessful on his first attempt. On June 1, 2016, German Oberstdorf won the vote to win the championship in 2021. The city in the extreme south of Germany also beat Slovenian Planica on the road.
In October 2017, it was clear that Trondheim and Planica would fight to host the World Ski Championships in 2023, and on May 17, 2018, it was ready for a vote at the FIS congress. There, Planica won quite clearly against Trondheim.
champagne
The people of Trøndelag were determined not to give up, and the third time it was clear that they would. No opposing candidate entered the field and the final decision was made on Saturday that the Ski World Cup 2025 will be held in Granåsen.
Then the champagne could also bounce during an event in Trondheim. There were representatives of those who have participated in joint enforcement work, along with old posters, world hopes, politicians, sports politicians, businessmen, organizers and enthusiasts.
