September 05, 2010 (Olso, Norway) – It’s September already and a full summer of training is done, and now it’s time to start planning the winter race season.  The organizers of the coming Olso FIS Nordic World Ski Championships are on the ball and have released the daily competition schedule for the big event.

Like Liberec in 2009, the first race will be a ‘qualification race’, a chance for those athletes who don’t frequent the World Cup circuit to gain some important FIS points.

Another interesting note is the new ski jumping hill Midstubacken, situated across the road from the famous Holmenkollen, which has a ‘hill-size’ of 106 meters.   The 2011 competition schedule for all events is as follows:
