FIS Holmenkollen (NOR) 9.-10.3.2019

Holmenkollen National Ski arena is one of Norway's most visited tourist attractions. Since 1892 the arena has hosted competitions in Nordic skiing. In 2011 the FIS World Championships Nordic took place in the venue, and in February 2016 Holmenkollen was the host for the IBU World Championships Biathlon.

The courses and the cross country stadium in Holmenkollen are in use during the whole year for training and competitions for the top athletes as well as the sport club youngsters that love cross country skiing and biathlon.

The entire ski jump and arena was rebuilt before the FIS World Championships Nordic in 2011. The ski jump was designed by the Danish firm JDS Architects. Their design brings together all the amenities contained in the jump: rather than having a series of dispersed pavilions, everything from the judge's booths and the Royal family to the souvenir shop and the entrance to the museum are contained in one holistic diagram.

The jump is made out of 1000 tons of steel and raises about 60 meters in the air. The top is cut horizontally to accommodate a viewing platform with a panoramic view of Oslo and surrounding areas.
