Germany to bid for for 2031 Nordic worlds instead of 2033
Germany will bid for the 2031 Nordic skiing world championships instead of 2033, a top official of the governing body DSV has said.
"Yes, we are now throwing our hat into the ring two years earlier," DSV board member Stefan Schwarzbach told Tuesday's daily Allgäuer Zeitung.

The change after an Austria bid with Ramsau and Bischofshofen was withdrawn last week for the 2031 championships for cross country skiers, ski jumpers and Nordic combined skiers.
The DSV is yet to decide on the venue between previous hosts Oberstdorf (1987, 2005, 2021) and eastern Germany's Oberwiesenthal/Klingenthal who have never hosted the event before.
Also bidding for 2031 is Slovenia's Planica, which staged the worlds in 2023.
The ruling body FIS plans to elect the host next year.
The 2027 worlds are in Falun, Sweden, and the 2029 edition in Finland's Lahti.

New wax trailer designed to help Team Hardwood glide to victory
Ray Ryan could wax on about the advantages of Team Hardwood's mobile trailer shop for hours. Brand new and outfitted with a custom interior that is designed to allow for the efficient and effective application of ski wax for every type of snow condition, the new trailer will play an important role in helping the team's individual racers achieve their best results. 'A really big part of our sport is the technical side, from two perspectives' Ryan, the club's former chair, said Thursday night prior to a reception at Hardwood Ski and Bike in Oro-Medonte Township, about 20 minutes northeast of Barrie. Also on hand was local MPP Doug Downey as they celebrated Team Hardwood's receipt of a $32,000 grant, funded through the Ontario Trillium Foundation, for the purchase and customization of the trailer. 'One is how athletes technically ski, their technique, where they set their foot, how they push off with a pole. That's one part of the sport. The other part of the sport, which a lot of people don't know about, is the ski preparation,' Ryan said. 'In order to have a competitive race team, in order to have good competitive skis, you need to spend a lot of time, a lot of effort, into ski waxing,' he added. According to the Nordic Ski Lab, an online platform that serves as a Nordic ski school, offering instructional videos and resources for both classic and skate skiing techniques, wax and its many variations can have a dramatic impact on a skier's success. In a section devoted to the pros and cons of wax versus waxless skis, it says serious skiers prefer 'waxable classic skis' and then goes on to describe the challenges. 'The kick waxes used on warm days are gooey and sticky. It's challenging to apply these waxes smoothly. They tend to blob up. They also tend to stick to other things, like clothing,' says the lab. 'Klister is a special wax used in warm conditions. Klister, like kick wax, is applied to the kick zone. It's a sticky goo that squeezes out of a tube, like toothpaste. Like warm temperature waxes, it's messy. 'Fresh falling snow, especially around zero Celsius, is the most challenging situation for kick waxing.' The new trailer will give Team Hardwood the competitive edge they need as they'll be in a position to respond rapidly to any changing snow or temperature condition, Ryan said. For the 50 or so youths, aged 12 and 18 years old, who make up the team, the wax trailer provides them with a real sense of confidence. They can focus on their performance not their skis. 'Everything we need to make fast skis is in the trailer,' Ryan said. Outfitted with specially designed clamps that hold the skis in place, the trailer has ample work and storage area. Everything that's needed to 'wax on and wax off' is within arm's reach. It's a vast improvement over what the club was using previously — a well-worn beast that was on its last legs. 'There were a few times where I wondered if it was going to make it home,' Ryan said with a laugh. He said the new trailer will serve the club's needs for at least the next 15 years. 'We got a little bit of seed money from Marty Hall (former Canadian Nordic team ski coach) to go towards the purchase of the trailer and the customization,' Ryan said. 'And then we thought we should apply for a Trillium grant. 'We're thrilled we got it.' Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha.

'It is sad' - German synchronised swimmers to worlds via donations
German synchronized swimmer Klara Bleyer talking to her coach during the preparations for the world championships in Singapore during training in Bochum. Sascha Thelen/dpa Germany's leading synchronised swimmer Klara Bleyer is not happy that the team had to rely on donations to make it to the upcoming world championships in Singapore. Government funds were not enough to send the full team to Asia, and the swimming body DSV came up with the donation plan in a bid to support the team. Advertisement Bleyer told dpa she is "very grateful" that the DSV took action, but she added: "It is sad that you have to collect donations to send the national team to competitions." Bleyer is a European champion and could win Germany's first ever medal in the sport at world championships in Singapore. Bleyer also spoke of poor training conditions in Germany in which they partly have to share pools with school children, and she also criticised the status of sport in Germany in general which she named lower than elsewhere. "It doesn't feel that good when you look at other countries. Most of the time they have a pool for themselves all day long," she said. Advertisement "I was in Spain a few months ago. They have a big sports complex with the best conditions. That makes you think: Germany is such a rich country. Why does Spain manage and we don't?" Bleyer suggested that a more centralised approach with one training site featuring a big pool for the whole team could improve the conditions and move the sport forward.

🚨 Denmark and Sweden confirm their line-ups
Group C of the 2025 Women's EURO gets underway with a high-voltage clash between two Nordic selections. The 2025 Women's EURO continues its course this Friday with a big match to open the day: Denmark and Sweden, two Nordic teams with great potential and high aspirations in the tournament, face off in Geneva for the first match of Group C. Advertisement Denmark comes from being humiliated 6-1 in Solna, a painful result that they want to avenge to mark their territory in the area and head towards qualification from the first place. Denmark's starting lineup Andrée Jeglertz has chosen these players for the debut in the competition. Sweden, on the other hand, is one of the favorites to fight for the title: it occupies the sixth place in the world ranking and has reached the semifinals of the last three major tournaments. However, they cannot trust the last precedent and know they will have a very demanding match. Sweden's starting lineup Peter Gerhardsson, who faces his fifth and last major tournament at the helm of the team, chose this formation for the big debut.
