Storm in Trondheim: Ski World Cup shifts competitions due to storm!
Trondheim, Norwegen - A strong storm keeps Trondheim in suspense! Because of expected gusts of wind with wind speeds of up to 144 km/h, the organizers of the Nordic Ski World Cup in Norway changed their schedule on Thursday. The changes concern central competitions such as men's team jumping and the men's team competition in the Nordic combination. These competitions have been postponed for security reasons; Men's team jumping was originally supposed to take place at 5:05 p.m., while the team competition was moved from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. The men's cross-country skiing relay is now carried out at 2 p.m.

security measures are essential to protect the audience and athletes. Due to the dangerous weather conditions, the event location is not open to the public before 12 noon. Even before 11:30 a.m., no spectators should stay on the site after the warning level was raised from yellow to orange. This is the second of three warning levels, which indicates the danger of wind conditions. In addition, it is recommended not to stay in the woods along the trail for safety reasons.
How the situation will develop remains to be seen, but the organizers are confident that the weather conditions after the storm front will be significantly improved. Preparations for maintaining security are in full swing, while spectators are looking forward to the news about the planned competitions.
