The FIS has announced that all scheduled competitions on Norwegian territory will be canceled due to the new restrictions. Nothing to do, therefore, for alpine skiing, biathlon, cross-country skiing, ski jumping and Nordic combined.

Norway cancels everything: as a result of restrictions imposed by the Norwegian government, all planned World Cup races have been canceled.
The biggest expense will be cross-country skiing and ski jumping, which in total will lose six stages as a result of these cancellations. The Cross-Country Skiing World Cup will not be staged in Oslo (March 12-14) and Lillehammer (March 19-21). The ski jump, which should have taken place between Oslo, Lillehammer, Trondheim and Vikersund from 12 to 21 March, will have to find a solution in order not to lose an important slice of the calendar.
A complicated situation also for alpine skiing which, due to the cancellation of Kvitfjell (4-7 March), will be forced to find an alternative, since in Norwegian soil the canceled descent in Wengen should have been recovered.
Skip the Nordic combined stage, initially scheduled from 11 to 14 March in Oslo.
The classic biathlon event in Oslo Holmenkollen, which was to take place from 16 to 21 March, was also forced to raise the white flag.
Therefore a very thorny situation for FIS and IBU, who will have to find fairly quick solutions for recoveries, to avoid the risk of losing a high number of races in this season finale.
