Planica got a new powerful competitor, as many as two at one time
After withdrawing Ramsau and Bischofshofen a joint candidacy to carry out the Nordic Skiing World Championships in 2031, Planica seemed to be even the only candidate to organize this competition. But in the meantime, the Germans also interfered with the fight.
“It is clear to us that we have to take this opportunity. Planica is the only venue that is running for the implementation of the Nordic World Cup 2031, two years later the competition will definitely be bigger, « is Stefan SchwarzbachMarketing Head of the German Ski Association (DSV), revealed in a conversation for the newspaper Allgäuer.
Interest in organizing the competition of the best ski jumpers and runners and Nordic combinators over five years, both Oberstdorf and Klingenthal, who would carry out the Oberwiesenthal, showed both Oberstdorf and Klingenthal. The decision on who will host a spectacle in Nordic skiing in 2031 will fall next year at the International Ski Association (FIS) Congress in Belgrade.
In Germany, they believe that they have good cards in their hands, beting on a round jubilee. In 2031, it will be exactly a hundred years since the first Nordic World Cup on German soil (Oberstdorf 1931), and they have not forgotten about the dust that rose in Planica a long time ago due to (too) expensive tickets and a small number of viewers.
