The 4th Nordic World Ski Championships were held from February 3rd to 6th, 1927 in Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy .
history
The award of the world championships to Cortina took place in February 1926 on the IX. FIS Congress in Lahti in Finland .
The competitions did not yet have the status of a world championship when they were held and were referred to by the FIS as rendezvous races . In the German and Polish- speaking media, they were mostly given the unofficial title of European Ski Championships .
The Italian Ski Association and Cortina were first introduced to the organization of a major official FIS race. Later, the World Championships of 1941 and 1956, the Olympic Winter Games, which were retroactively declared invalid, took place in the Italian spa and winter sports resort .
Competitions
As in the previous international rendezvous races in Oslo in 1926 , the traditional Nordic ski competitions in cross-country skiing , ski jumping and Nordic combined were on the program . In addition to the endurance run over 50 km, the usual length of 18 km was chosen for Cortina instead of the short distance over 30 km held in Norway .

The Czechoslovakia was represented again with the Ski Association of the Czechs (SL RCS) and the German Bohemia (HDW). At that time Austria's only member of the International Ski Association was the AÖSV , while the ÖSV, which had resigned from the FIS, had two of its members reported through the German Ski Association. The majority of the athletes came from the host country, Italy, with 40 active participants.

and the Austrians belonging to Austrians

Max Kröckel (Thuringia), who was also nominated , dropped out for unknown reasons. There was general criticism that the supposedly best team was not nominated for the ski competitions in Cortina. Above all, this meant the German delegation headed by Bruno Biehler , who traveled to the Swiss ski championship at almost the same time , consisting of Ludwig Böck ( Nesselwang ), Walter Glaß ( Untersachsenberg ), Heinrich Strischek ( Schreiberhau ), Harald Paumgarten ( Graz ) and Franz Thannheimer ( Oberstdorf ).
The Swiss team consisted of Adolf Rubi ( Grindelwald ), Sepp Schmid , Gérard Vuilleumier ( La Chaux-de-Fonds ), Hermann Freimann and Ernst Feuz ( Mürren ).
The General Austrian Ski Association (AÖSV) named Hans Rattay , Engelbert Geyschläger and János Pálffy .
The Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) had two of its athletes reported by the DSV , as they had resigned from the international ski association due to the disagreements about the Aryan paragraph that it had introduced .
The Main Association of German Winter Sports Clubs, HDW for short, sent a top-class team to the competitions, which included three medalists from previous events, namely Franz Donth ( Rochlitz an der Iser ), Josef Adolf ( Petzer ) and Willi Dick ( Weipert ). In addition there was the current German-Bohemian champion Rudolf Burkert ( Polaun ) and the best German-Bohemian ski jumper Franz Wende ( freedom in the Aupatal ).

Date: Thursday, February 3, 1927
Participants: 34 started, 27 classified;
The host country Italy provided the majority of the participants with 19 cross-country skiers, including the two strong South Tyroleans Matthias Demetz and Ferdinand Glück . Four applicants came from Czechoslovakia , three Czechs and one German Bohemian . The Yugoslav Ski Association provided just as many athletes . There were three participants from the German Reich , two from Sweden and one each from Hungary and Poland . Austrians and Swiss did not take part in the endurance run.
With the endurance run over 50 km, the ski competitions began in cold but good weather and good snow conditions. The 25 km long route had to be run through twice and was designed in such a way that the runners had to conquer the greatest inclines at the beginning and at the end of each lap. The organizers set a limit of six hours in which the run had to be ended in order to be scored.
The Swedish champion in the 1925 30 km run, John Lindgren, quickly took the lead and finished the first lap in 1: 57: 32.0. Lindgren steadily increased the distance to his pursuers and crossed the finish line 18 minutes ahead of his compatriot John Wickström . To date, this lead is the greatest that has ever been achieved at the Nordic World Ski Championships. Third place went to Franz Donth from Rochlitz, six minutes behind, ahead of Demetz from Val Gardena . Of the German representatives, Theato and Huber from Munich achieved respectable results with fifth and eighth places.

The ski jumping ended the World Championships on Sunday afternoon. The new Franchetti ski jump in Zuel , located in the shade in a larch forest , was built according to plans by the Munich engineer Wörner, the sports manager of the Bavarian Ski Association , and was generally very popular.
Due to the absence of the Norwegians, together with the defending champion Jacob Tullin Thams and the Finns , the Swedes advanced to the top spots as favorites. So the winner Edman showed with 54 meters also the longest jump of the day. Willi Dick followed in second , third place went to Bertil Carlsson .
Ernst Feuz just missed a medal with fourth place. The Austrians starting for the DSV showed good performances . Rudolf Neyer , the first Vorarlberger at the Nordic World Ski Championships, surprisingly came eighth, Hugo Hörtnagl took 11. Of the Germans themselves, Recknagel was the best with ninth place.

The combined cross-country race was held as part of the 18 km special cross-country race. After the first partial competition, the German Viktor Schneider led in front of his compatriot Gustl Müller . After cross-country skiing, the Czech Otakar Německý, who had already been victorious in Johannesbad in 1925, was the favorite for the overall victory . The Pole Bronisław Czech and the two German Bohemians Rudolf Burkert and Franz Wende had good chances .
The combined jump took place on the morning of the final day in cloudy weather and with a greatly shortened approach on the Franchetti ski jump . The distances achieved were generally around ten meters shorter than in the afternoon special jump. Vitale Venzi and Rudolf Burkert showed the longest jumps with 44.0 m each in the second round. The German Bohemian Willi Dick won the combined jumping ahead of his compatriot Rudolf Burkert and the Italian Venzi.
The overall ranking of the Nordic Combined was won by Rudolf Burkert with the sixth best running time and the second best jumping performance ahead of Otakar Německý and Franz Wende.
The Swiss celebrated a very good fourth place through Adolf Rubi , the best performance of the German athletes was shown by Innsbruck's Hugo Hörtnagl from the Austrian Ski Association with 5th place. The best athlete of the DSV , Müller , gave his good prospects for a top place with a fall in jumping and came in 11th. The Austrians Hans Rattay and Engelbert Geyschläger from AÖSV were in positions 26 and 28. The Swedish representatives Carlsson and Edman disappointed with positions 13 and 14.
Meeting of the International Ski Association
The International Ski Federation held a conference on the occasion of the races in Cortina . FIS President Ivar Holmquist from Sweden chaired the meeting . Germany was through Peter Frey from Frankfurt am Main , Switzerland through Karl Dannecker , Italy through Ing. Rava, Czechoslovakia through Dr. Josef Schreiner and France represented by Pierre Minelle .
The current topic was the solution of the question of the right to start of the Austrian Ski Association who had left the FIS and who had registered with the German Ski Association . According to the current competition rules, these athletes would have been excluded from the event, as the ski associations were only allowed to register for their immediate nationals. At the request of Italy, after a lively exchange of views, the board agreed to make an exception for sporting reasons, but at the same time emphasized that it did not want to set a precedent. The results of the two skiers affected by this, Rudolf Neyer from Bregenz and Hugo Hörtnagl from Innsbruck , were also evaluated for the German Ski Association. The participants of the athletes registered by the AÖSV were not affected by this, as the latter was an official member of the FIS.
The main item on the agenda was the discussion of the upcoming 2nd Olympic Winter Games in St. Moritz , Switzerland . As a link between the International Olympic Committee and the FIS, Lieutenant Colonel Holmquist made himself available. In addition, it was decided to put together the highest authority for the ski competitions of the games from the board members of the FIS.
Karl Dannecker showed the profile drawings of the cross-country trails and the new, again modified Olympic hill. Both were approved unanimously.
For this purpose, the final program for the ski competitions was determined as follows:
- February 15: 50 km run
- February 17: 18 km run
- February 18th: Ski jumping
- February 19: Award ceremony
The application by the FIS to conduct military patrols at the following Winter Games was rejected. The application for approval of the downhill runs for men and women with artificially inserted obstacles (= gates) as a demonstration competition was also not approved.
The ski association of Spain , Real Federacion Española Deportes, has been added.
