Kollen femmil saved for 2026/27 season

The International Ski Federation confirmed that the traditional 5km races at Holmenkollen will remain in the 2026/27 season, reversing earlier threats of cancellation.

The FIS board in Slovenia voted to keep the 5km men’s and women’s races at Holmenkollen for the 2026/27 season, after concerns over the event’s placement in the calendar. Norwegian officials Ulf Morten Aune and Espen Bjervig praised the decision, citing the race’s importance for Norwegian and international ski culture. The final approval will come at the upcoming FIS Congress later this spring. argolida.life
