The confirmation to "VG" by the head of the organization, Ole Kristian Kirkerud. "We will try to have the double date in 2024 and then the cup finals of 2025". The sacrifice needed to face a second North American away game at the end of the season.

A historic track, the Olympiabakken which hosted the 1994 Olympic Games and for 29 consecutive years, starting its adventure just 12 months before that splendid five-circle edition of Lillehammer, will not be part of the 2022 Men's World Cup calendar / 23, just like Garmisch-Partenkirchen which loses its descent on Kandahar.
This is what he learned from the colleagues of “VG”, directly from the number 1 of the Norwegian speed racing organization, Ole Kristian Kirkerud. Waiting for the official calendars, everything is done for the arrival of women in Kvitfjell for March 2023, but the sacrifice of the men's tests is linked more than anything else to the will of Johan Eliasch's "new" FIS to face a second North American trip, at the end of the season, with competitions between Aspen and Squaw Valley.
"We will guarantee fantastic women's competitions and then we will work to bring the men back to Kvitfjell in 2024, as well as the World Cup finals in 2025 - the words of Kirkerud - It is useless to deny that the TV rights for the male sector are higher and we regret not to be able to host those tests too ".
It is certainly not the best news for Dominik Paris, thinking at home in Italy, if we think that on the “Olympiabakken” the blue champion has triumphed four times, the last one a few months ago in the second descent.
