In Trondheim, Women’s Nordic Combined highlights the road to 2030

As we entered International Women’s Month, FIS brought to the forefront a discussion that has been at the heart of Nordic Combined for years: when will the women have the chance to compete in the Olympic Winter Games as the men do? 

Right now, for Milano-Cortina 2026, Nordic Combined is the only discipline in the Olympic Winter Games that is exclusive to men. During the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim, right before yet another day of exciting competition, FIS organized a panel to discuss where we stand on the path to include the women in 2030. 

Sandra Spitz, FIS Sport and Event Director, Lasse Ottesen, Nordic Combined Race Director, and American athlete Annika Malacinski shared the stage to discuss the growth and development of women in the discipline and the dream of having #NordicCombinedForAll.
