The Norwegian Ski Association has announced that it will postpone the World Cup for Ski Jumping Women, which was scheduled to open in Norway next month, due to the effects of the new coronavirus.

The World Cup in Lillehammer, Norway, was scheduled for the 4th to 6th of next month, with a men's and women's Nordic combined, ski jumping women's opening round, and men's and women's cross-country skiing.



The Norwegian Ski Association decided that it would be "difficult" to hold the event in this situation due to the impact of the spread of the new coronavirus and the large amount of money and manpower required for prevention and countermeasures to hold the event, and postponed it to the latter half of the season. It means that I decided to do it.



The Norwegian Ski Association says, "From now on, I will concentrate on finding new dates in consultation with the International Ski Association."



The Ski Jumping World Cup will start in Poland on the 20th for men and the Nordic Combined will take place in Finland on the 27th for men.
