Women’s Ski Jumping Series to Remove Vikersund Events The upcoming season’s Mixed Kite (MK) ski jumping series calendar is undergoing revisions, with a significant change impacting the sport’s female participants. Following a decision by the International Ski Federation (FIS), the Vikersund competition weekends will no longer be part of the women’s MK series. This announcement, made by the Norwegian news agency NTB on Wednesday, has generated considerable concern and reaction within the ski jumping community. The removal of Vikersund, a long-standing fixture of the women’s calendar, is attributed to an error made by the FIS. The decision comes as the series organizers finalize the schedules for the next season. Female ski jumpers will be excluded from the MK competition format. A photo released by SPP Sport Press Photo (Igor Kupljenik / Scanpix) shows a recent competition, highlighting the established nature of the events. The change underscores ongoing discussions regarding the future of women’s ski jumping within the broader International Ski Federation framework. The focus now shifts to establishing a revised competition structure for the upcoming season. The article includes the keywords: ski, jumpers, photo.
