Nordic World Ski Championships:
Nordic World Ski Championships: The current medal table
Just like two years ago in Planica, the Austrian team did not win any gold medals at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Trondheim. However, four silver and four bronze medals are impressive. In terms of numbers, the eight podium places are the third-best haul in the history of the World Championships. In 2011 in Oslo there were ten (7 gold), in 2019 in Seefeld nine (0 gold). However, there were only 21 and 22 competitions back then, this time there were 25.
The red-white-red delegation's target of six to eight medals was achieved in Norway. "Overall, the result is very positive, every single medal has to be won. Very good performances were shown, in one or two competitions we were not relaxed enough," said ÖSV sports director Mario Stecher to the APA on the final day of the World Championships. The failure to win again was regrettable, but the result was nevertheless pleasing. "Of course we would have liked to have won a gold medal, but we can be very satisfied with eight."
Hörl outstanding with four medals
In a way, the five team medals in competitions with only around ten nations at the start saved the ÖSV balance sheet in Trondheim. The only individual podium places were won by ski jumper Jan Hörl (silver, bronze) and combined skier Lisa Hirner (bronze).
Stecher highlighted the four-time medal winner Hörl in particular. "He gave an outstanding performance." However, the ÖSV sports director believes that not only the ski jumpers are in a good position, but also the combined and, increasingly, the up-and-coming cross-country skiing are well prepared for the 2026 Olympic Games.
Norway again by far the best nation
Norway, on the other hand, once again raked in medals galore in all colors. The hosts also set a record. With a total of 32 medals - the silver medal won by ski jumper Marius Lindvik on the large hill was revoked due to the Norwegian suit scandal - the previous record of 31 in Oberstdorf 2021 was beaten.
The gold record was set by cross-country star Johannes Hösflot Kläbo (6 titles in Trondheim) and Co. with 13 World Championship titles. The Norwegians also achieved this mark four years ago in Oberstdorf and in Seefeld in 2019. The Norwegians have topped the medals table at every Nordic World Championships since 1997. Back then, the Norwegians had failed in Trondheim of all places.
