Encyclopedia
The FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2011 took place from 23 February to 6 March 2011 in Oslo
, Norway
, at the Holmenkollen National Arena
. It was the fifth time these championships had been hosted in Holmenkollen, having been done previously in 1930, the 1952 Winter Olympics
, 1966, and 1982. On 25 May 2006, the 45th FIS
Congress in Vilamoura
, Portugal
, selected the Holmenkollen area over both Val di Fiemme
, Italy, and Zakopane
, Poland, with a vote of 12 to 4 to 0. These games coincided with the Holmenkollen Ski Festival
as they have previously in 1930, 1952, 1966 and 1982.

(FIS) against Liberec
, Czech Republic, on 4 June 2004. The Norwegian Ski Federation subsequently stated that they would apply for the 2011 World Championships. The Association for the Promotion of Skiing stated that they wanted a new hill in Rødkleiva instead of expanding the existing ski flying hill in Vikersund
, Vikersundbakken
. Holmenkollbakken would then be used for the last time during as a large hill during the 2011 World Championships, and would then converted to a normal hill. In May 2005, the general assembly of the Norwegian Ski Federation voted to build a new ski flying and normal hill in Rødkleiva ahead of the 2011 World Championships. Following Vikersundbakken being awarded the FIS Ski-Flying World Championships 2012
in 2008, the general assembly of the Norwegian Ski Federation that year decided to terminate the plans for a ski flying hill in Rødkleiva.
On 22 September 2005, FIS stated that an all-new Holmenkollbakken would have to be built if Oslo was to host the World Championships and World Cup tournaments. FIS stated that similar reconstructions had been done with Schattenbergschanze
in Oberstdorf
, Germany, and Bergiselschanze
in Innsbrück
, Austria. In December 2005, the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage
gave permission for the tower to be demolished, on the condition it was replaced by a new in-run with a similar architectural quality and retain its function as a landmark. They stated that it was the activity itself that is worthy of preservation, not the structure itself. The city council made the final decision to apply for the World Championships and build a new hill on 1 March 2006. A new hill was at the time estimated to cost NOK 310 million, and the state was willing to finance NOK 70 million of those. Oslo was awarded the 2011 World Championships in May 2006.
The municipality issued a architectural design competition
to rebuild the hill; Julien De Smedt
's proposal was selected among 104 entrants. At the time, it was estimated that the new national arena would cost NOK 653 million. Demolition
of Holmenkollbakken started on 16 October 2008. The World Cup tournament in 2009 was held at Vikersundbakken instead of Holmenkollen because of the reconstruction. When the decision to reconstruct the national arena was made by the city council in 2007, it was estimated to cost NOK 653 million. By 2008, the cost had accelerated to NOK 1.2 billion, and by the following year it had reached NOK 1.8 billion. City Commissioner For Business and Culture, Anette Wiig Bryn
of the Progress Party
, had to leave her position because of the cost overrun
s. A consultant report ordered by the municipality concluded that the pressure to find cost savings to stay within the budget, which was underestimated to start with, resulted in slower progress, which again resulted in higher costs. The costs of the new large hill were NOK 715 million, while total costs for the upgrade of the national arena and infrastructure ended at NOK 2,426 million. This included the construction of a new ski stadium next to Holmenkollbakken, and Midtstubakken, and upgrades to the Holmenkollen Line.
of 134 and a construction point
(K-spot) of 120. It has a spectator capacity for 30,000. The current structure dates from 2010 and consists of a 64 metres (210 ft) tall superstructure. The top of the structure is 420 metres (1,378 ft) above mean sea level
. It is the first hill in the world with a permanent wind screen, which is able to restrain 45 to 50 percent of the wind. Midtstubakken is a normal hill with a hill size of 106 and a K-point of 95. It has a capacity for 16,000 spectators and was completed in 2010.
Medal ceremonies were held at Universitetsplassen
, a square in the city center.
Transport is based on that no spectators will use private cars to the venue. Instead, all spectators must use the Holmenkollen Line of the Oslo Metro. Holmenkollen Station
is located within walking distance of the large hill and cross-country stadium, while Midtstuen Station
is closest to Midtstubakken. Holmenkollen Station is the only one the line with platforms long enough for six cars, which allows a capacity of 9,000 per hour. "Chaotic" and "spectators stood in line for many hours to get into the arena" and "sheep are treated better", were some of the claims by Verdens Gang
, in regards to the treatment of spectators on 26 February. A number of people were not admitted into the arena (in time to see Marit Bjørgen
win) on 26 February. The director of the event, promised that the organizers would refund some tickets, after reviewing individual claims.
Newsflash, the first orientation meeting of the local organization took place in Oslo on 4 September 2006. Included in the meeting were representatives from the Norwegian Ski Association, the FIS, Skiforeningen
(The Holmenkollen
organizing committee), NRK (Norwegian TV), and the European Broadcasting Union
. Discussions involved were liaisons among the various groups, marketing of the event, arena and ski jump reconstruction, and testing of the new constructed sports arena that is scheduled for completion in 2010. Åsne Havnelid
was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the event during the week of 2 July 2007, starting on 1 September 2007. The first official coordination group of Havnelid, Adelheid Sæther as Chief Operations Officer, and Stein Opsal as Chief Financial Officer officially met on 13 November 2007. One of the key items discussed was the updated plans for the Holemkollen ski jump and the FIS requirements for the future of the ski jump. Construction of the ski jump has not started with the Oslo City Government and the City Council having review the project in more detail, especially the costs involved. In an August 2008 interview, Hanevild stated that the attendance goal for the championships was 400,000. During the week of 15 September 2008, it was reported that team is developing working practices and responsibilities of the different committee roles.
