I was so happy, I never thought I could win two times - it's so exciting! (Julia Tannheimer)

FIS Council MemberThe FIS Council convened this Thursday in Zurich and formally confirmed the great news that Lahti
will host the FIS Nordic World Championships 2029
Since last month’s Congress – when the appointment was originally scheduled to be announced – the Finnish Ski Association and the city of Lahti worked together to iron out a few remaining details
and today formally signed the hosting agreement
Lahti is a landmark destination on our calendar
and we are thrilled to have them lined up as yet another world-class host to our future World Championships.– Johan Eliasch
FIS PresidentThe 2029 edition of the FIS Nordic World Championships will be the eighth to be held in Lahti
The Council awarded hosting rights to two other upcoming junior events: 
FIS Junior Ski Jumping and Nordic Combined World Championships 2025 – Lake Placid
FIS Junior and U23 Nordic World Ski Championships 2027 – Shchuchinsk
This week Shchuchinsk in Kazakhstan is hosting the Roller Ski World Cup season premiere
skiing star Vladimir Smirnov talks about his hometown
the same city that this week is hosting the Roller Ski World Cup
pleasant town with about 40.000 inhabitants
The nature around the city is very nice with forests and lakes,” says the 59-year-old Kazakh with four World Championships golds and one Olympic gold on his record
and the interest in biathlon was quite large
I started training when I was eleven and racing three years later
There was a big boom in the 1980s when several Kazakh skiers were part of the Soviet national team
not least political changes with independence,” says Smirnov
who lived in Shchuchinsk until he moved to Sundsvall in 1991
the ski stadium in Shchuchinsk hosted the Junior Biathlon World Cup
It is time for another international event in the same arena this week
&#8220;These are arrangements that suit Kazakhstan very well; good that the arena is used for this type of international event,&#8221; says Smirnov to&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.langd.se/rullskidor/veckans-rullskidvarldscup-i-smirnovs-hemstad/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Langd.se</a>
How often are you &#8220;at home in Kazakhstan&#8221;
&#8220;Now I&#8217;ve lived in Sundsvall for so long that Sundsvall is home
I have not been in Kazakhstan,&#8221; says Smirnov

&quot;It feels really really cool - of course
it&#x27;s fantastic but I really wanted to have a medal in an individual race
so it&#x27;s really nice and the best part about today is that my roommate Julia (Kink) was also really good!&quot; (Julia Tannheimer)
Tannheimer set the pace in every single of the 2km loops in Shchuchinsk and ended up being 30 seconds faster than everyone else in skiing time alone
Sweden&#x27;s Elsa Tanglander posted the second-fastest time but two misses in the standing shooting saw her gold chances vanish
Individual Youth Champion Julia Kink recovered from one miss in the prone to claim the silver medal behind her teammate - for Kink this is already the fourth medal in four competitions
A real battle ensued in the fight for the third place with clean-shooting Astrid Plosch hanging on to bronze
The Italian&#x27;s 15-second-advantage over Tanglander after the standing shooting melted to a mere 0.5-second-lead as she crossed the finish line
so I didn&#x27;t think a top race would be possible today.&quot; (Kasper Kalkenberg)
