Originally published in Sveriges Radio on September 22, 2024

Excitement is building in Ulricehamn as the town sets its sights on potentially hosting a World Cup festival. A decision is anticipated next week regarding the possibility of holding events in late January. This opportunity emerged after the Czech town of Nove Mesto withdrew its bid, citing economic difficulties.

Nonetheless, there are voices of caution within the Swedish Ski Federation. Concerns have been raised about the feasibility of adding another World Cup event in Sweden, especially considering that Falun is already on the season's schedule.
