FIS JWSC 2026

Welcome to JWSC 2026 in Lillehammer

Dear athletes, coaches, support staff, and all volunteers,

It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to Norway – and to Lillehammer in particular – for this year’s FIS Junior and Under 23 World Ski Championships.
We all remember the fantastic celebration and enthusiastic crowds at the World Championships in Trondheim last year. I hope the participants will have equally unforgettable experiences here in Lillehammer, where many of you have likely competed before.
The Olympic city of Lillehammer offers a fantastic setting for skiing – both at the Birkebeineren Ski Stadium and at the Lysgårdsbakken ski jumping hill, located a bit closer to the town center.
We are looking forward to a compact championship filled with fair play and exciting competition.
Both the Junior World Championships and the U23 World Championships are on the program. I look forward to following your pursuit of medals and excellence.

President Norwegian Ski Federation, Tove Moe Dyrhaug
