Wagering on Oberstdorf for Norway's World Championship Bid in 2031
Oberstdorf Prepares for 2031 Nordic World Ski Championship, Hosting Event by German Ski Association - The German Skiing Organization Aims for the 2031 Nordic World Cup Hosting in Oberstdorf
Gear up, sports enthusiasts! The German Ski Association has staked its claim for hosting the 2031 Nordic World Championships in the chilly climes of Oberstdorf, Bavaria. Initially, a German bid for 2033 was in the pipeline, but some unexpected twists landed them an earlier shot[1][2].
The Playing Field
- Battling it out: The main contender on the horizon is none other than Planica, Slovenia, which has also thrown its hat in the ring for the 2031 event[3].
- Saxon Solos: Initially, a joint bid by Oberwiesenthal and Klingenthal, both nestled in the heart of Saxony, was on the cards. But alas, those locations have been set aside for the moment, focusing instead on a future championship in Saxony[3][4].
The Race to the Finish
- Oberstdorf's Push: With the Oberstdorf team onboard, the German Ski Association is gearing up for a thrilling race.
- Calling the Winner: The grand announcement, revealing the host of the 2031 championships, is expected to roll in around June 2026[3].
