Kollen Femmil Saved for 2026/27

The International Ski Federation has decided to keep the 5km races for both men and women at Holmenkollen for the 2026/27 season, after a tight vote in Slovenia.

FIS officials met in Slovenia to discuss the upcoming season’s calendar. Despite strong opposition from FIS Road Director Michal Lamplot, Norway’s Ulf Morten Aune and Espen Bjervig secured a majority to keep the traditional femmil races. The decision preserves a key event for Norwegian and international ski sport, with the event’s popularity highlighted by the festival atmosphere and unique 5km distance. forestarrow.help
