Do You Know About The Holmenkollen Ski Festival In Oslo Norway?

The Holmenkollen Ski Festival (Norwegian: Holmenkollen skifestival or Holmenkollrennene) is a traditional annual Nordic skiing event in Holmenkollen, Oslo, Norway. The full official name of the event is Holmenkollen FIS World Cup Nordic.

It takes place in March and has been arranged every year since 1892, except for 1898 and during World War II (1941–1945). The event is arranged by Skiforeningen and takes place at Holmenkollen National Arena and ski jumping hills Holmenkollbakken and Midtstubakken. In 2009 Holmenkollen was under renovation and replacing races were held in Trondheim for cross-country skiing (sport) and biathlon, and in Vikersund for ski jumping and nordic combined.

In 2011, Holmenkollen hosted the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships and there was no separate Holmenkollen Ski Festival. Previously Holmekollen had hosted World Championships in 1930, 1966, 1982, and it also hosted the Nordic skiing events of 1952 Winter Olympics that were also that year's World Championships. Holmenkollen has also hosted biathlon World Championship events in 1986, 1990, 1999, 2000, and 2002, and hosted it once again in 2016.

For more than a hundred years, Holmenkollen has hosted international ski jumping and cross-country skiing events.

The annual FIS World Cup Nordic competitions draw thousands of spectators to Holmenkollen, to cheer from the ski arena or along the cross-country ski tracks in the forest.
