FIS World Championships

The FIS World Championships: 2025 results, and 2027 to come.

FIS holds separate World Championships for alpine skiing, for the Nordic disciplines and for freestyle, freeski and snowboard. The 2025 editions are finished and the 2027 editions are still to come. This page gives the 2025 results the research recorded, FIS's own decisions in the Trondheim suit case, the 2027 hosts and dates, and how the championships began.

Alpine, Saalbach 2025

FIS's review says the Championships opened with the team parallel, had 11 gold medals, and closed on Sunday 16 February 2025 with the men's slalom. The opening date was not on the pages read. Switzerland topped the table with 13 medals (5 gold, 5 silver, 3 bronze), which FIS calls the best World Championships haul by any nation this century.

Two of these rest on less than a FIS results page. Johnson's downhill title is not on FIS's Saalbach review; it comes from a search summary of FIS's Olympic report of 8 February 2026, which says she had won the world downhill title a year to the day earlier, so it is unconfirmed. On the team parallel, FIS's review says Italy beat Switzerland in the final, which implies Italy's gold without stating it. Full podiums for every event were not collected.

Nordic, Trondheim 2025

  • Cross-country: FIS says Johannes Hoesflot Klaebo (NOR) won all six golds, ending with the 50 km mass start free, watched by more than 100,000 people along the course (FIS, 17 March 2025). Wikipedia's event pages name the women's champions in the skiathlon (Ebba Andersson, SWE), the 50 km free (Frida Karlsson, SWE) and the team sprint (Sweden: Jonna Sundling and Maja Dahlqvist); these are not confirmed against FIS.
  • Ski jumping: Marius Lindvik (NOR) won the men's normal hill and Domen Prevc (SLO) the men's large hill, which FIS headlined as Slovenia's fourth title of the Championships.
  • Nordic combined: a search summary of a FIS report says Yuna Kasai won Japan's first women's world title, and that Jarl Magnus Riiber (NOR) won the men's compact ahead of Jens Luraas Oftebro. Unconfirmed.
  • Para cross-country: a search summary of a FIS report says these were the first Nordic World Championships to include Para cross-country alongside the other events. Unconfirmed.
  • Crowds (FIS's claims): around 25,000 a day at the Granasen arena, more than 230,000 in the stadium over the Championships, at least 170,000 along the course and more than 200,000 at the medal plaza.

The full Trondheim results and medal table were not collected from FIS.

The Trondheim ski jumping suit case, as FIS decided it

Only FIS's own statements and decisions are given here.

  • 12 March 2025: FIS provisionally suspended Norwegian ski jumping head coach Magnus Brevik, assistant coach Thomas Lobben, service staff member Adrian Livelten and athletes Marius Lindvik and Johann Andre Forfang, with immediate effect, pending an investigation by the FIS Independent Ethics and Compliance Office. FIS said any charge under the FIS Rules on the Prevention of the Manipulation of Competitions would be heard by the FIS Ethics Committee.
  • 11 August 2025: charges were brought against the two athletes.
  • 22 August 2025: the FIS Ethics Committee approved a settlement agreement under Rule 61 with Forfang and Lindvik concerning the manipulation of their jumping suits at Trondheim 2025 (FIS, 23 August 2025). The terms were not on the FIS pages read. Press reports give the length of the athletes' bans, but we could not confirm it on a FIS page, so we do not give it.
  • 8 January 2026 (published 15 January 2026): the FIS Ethics Committee declared the three officials ineligible for at least 18 months from the date of the decision, less the provisional suspension served since 12 March 2025, over the alleged manipulation of suits at the men's large hill.

FIS spells the head coach's surname "Brevik" in its March 2025 statement and "Brevig" in the title of its January 2026 decision. No appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport was found. The equipment rules for jumping suits are on race suits, airbags and cut protection.

Freestyle, freeski and snowboard, Engadin 2025

FIS's freestyle event page lists 28 freestyle and freeski races, from the moguls qualification on 18 March to the halfpipe and aerials finals on 30 March 2025. The snowboard dates, the full results and the medal table were not collected. A search summary of a FIS report says Flora Tabanelli (ITA) won the women's freeski big air and Luca Harrington (NZL) the men's, with 192.00 points; another says Engadin was the only bidder when FIS awarded these Championships. Both are unconfirmed.

The 2027 World Championships (upcoming)

  • Alpine, Crans-Montana, Switzerland, 1 to 14 February 2027. FIS confirmed the dates on 13 September 2024, following a FIS Council decision of May 2022. Crans-Montana last hosted in 1987.
  • Nordic, Falun, Sweden. FIS's Nordic World Cups 2026/27 calendar, created in January 2026, gives 22 February to 7 March 2027.
  • Freestyle, freeski and snowboard, Montafon, Austria, 6 to 21 March 2027. FIS said on 21 October 2026 that there will be 31 medal events at six venues in four ski areas. A search summary of FIS's 2024 media-rights tender listed 7 to 20 March 2027; the October 2026 FIS article is the latest.

The Falun dates, three FIS versions. The January 2026 calendar gives 22 February to 7 March 2027. A FIS media-rights tender of September 2024 listed 24 February to 7 March 2027, and FIS Council minutes from June 2025 are reported, in a search summary, to list 17 to 28 February 2027. The calendar is the most recent of the three, but we could not confirm which dates are final.

Further ahead, FIS mentions Narvik as the host of the 2029 alpine World Championships. A search summary of a FIS announcement says its media-rights agreement with Infront covers the Nordic World Championships at Falun in 2027 and Lahti in 2029; Lahti 2029 is unconfirmed.

How the World Championships began

  • FIS says its founding congress at Chamonix in 1924 decided to invite racers each year to a large international competition, which became the World Championships. FIS says these were called "rendez-vous" until 1927 and "the FIS Competitions" from 1929. More on that congress is on FIS and Chamonix 1924.
  • Patrick Lang, writing in ISHA's Skiing History magazine in 2024, says the first recognised FIS Nordic World Championships were held in 1925 at Janske Lazne, Czechoslovakia, and that Murren hosted the first Alpine FIS Championships in 1931, which were declared a World Championship retroactively in 1937.
  • ISHA's compiled timeline says the women's downhill and slalom at Murren in 1931 were won by the British skier Esme Mackinnon. Olympedia says FIS introduced the alpine combined at the 1932 World Championships.
  • The Park Record reported that women's ski jumping made its World Championships debut at Liberec, Czech Republic, on 20 February 2009, won by Lindsey Van of the USA.
  • FIS says the first women's Nordic combined World Championship event was held at Oberstdorf on 27 February 2021, won by Gyda Westvold Hansen of Norway.
  • Search summaries of Wikipedia say the first FIS Snowboard World Championships were at Lienz, Austria, on 24 to 28 January 1996; no FIS page was read, so this is unconfirmed.

More on the alpine side of that history is on alpine skiing and the Olympics, and on women's events on women in skiing.
