Berit Svendsen, the manager for the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2025 in Trondheim, Norway, resigned after just one year. 

The 2025 Trondheim World Ski Championships manager, Berit Svendsen, has resigned from her position. According to a press release, at the weekend, Svendsen announced to the Trondheim World Championships Board Chairman, Bård Benum, that she was resigning. 

“We thank Berit for the good job she has done with the team and that she will become one of our ambassadors on the business side,” says Bård Benum, Chairman of the World Ski Championships 2025.

“The first year for the World Championships organization has been hectic. Berit and her team have established a strategic platform for the event, where Berit has brought many fresh ideas into the project. The plan has now been further developed with detailed job descriptions for all areas. The WC project is now moving into a more operational phase, and we will have many key personnel on the volunteer side on board over the next few weeks. It gives a new leader good conditions to deliver a fantastic World Championships in 2025,” continues Benum.

“It’s been a decision that has matured over some time. I am involved in business in many areas and notice that I am probably most motivated by this type of business,” says Berit Svendsen. 

The World Championships Board is already in the process of finding a new manager for the event. In the meantime, Svendsen will continue on her position until the end of the year, or until a new manager for the 2025 World Championships is in place.
