We’ll follow all three Nordic sports. Ski jumpers and Nordic combined athletes will compete in FIS Continental Cups, while Cross-Country skiers will take part in National championships.

The introduction into an interesting weekend will be represented by jumps of the Nordic combined athletes who will start their quest for podium on Friday, at 17.30 with the trial round on the Bloudek giant hill. All together 66 athletes from 13 nations will participate in two competitions during the weekend.

Cross-country skiers will start their hunt for medals on Saturday at 9.00, with the classic sprint qualifications. Amongst many great Slovenian athletes all eyes will be on the best sprinter in the world Anamarija Lampič, who will try to defend the name of favorite.

Soon after the Cross-country race kick-off, the first Nordic combined race will start, while the ski jumpers will head to the 138-meter hill at 10.30 for their training jumps. We will see 69 representatives from 16 countries.

On Sunday both Continental Cup competitions will go under way once again.
