The 11th Nordic World Ski Championships were held from February 20 to 25, 1934 in the Swedish city ​​of Sollefteå . The competitions were dominated by the athletes from Scandinavia who, apart from the silver medal in the cross-country relay, shared all other medals among themselves. In cross-country skiing, however, the Norwegians lost their previously dominant role v. a. to the Finns . But the Swedes were also ahead of the Norwegians here . These triumphed so strongly in ski jumping and Nordic combined that nothing was left for the other nations except a bronze medal.

The surprising second place in the German relay team was Germany's greatest success in Nordic competitions at the World Ski Championships. Viktor Schneider won the first and only medal in Nordic competitions in 1927 in cross-country skiing over 18 km in Cortina d'Ampezzo .

This success was made possible by the two final runners of the Norwegian and Swedish relay teams , Oddbjörn Hagen and Arthur Häggblad , who just ran out of a designated junction and only noticed their mistake after about 3 km. In the meantime, the German final runner Herbert Leupold had run out of ten minutes. This, however, with the fair assistance of the Norwegian Arne Hovde , who was on the track and pointed Leupold on the right track, who also threatened to branch off incorrectly. Hagen and Häggblad had a brilliant race and were able to catch up on Leupold for about eight minutes, but in the end it was only enough for a final sprint for third place. Here Hagen was first in front, but seemed to have been beaten by a few cm by the Swede at the finish line. The jury decided on a tie, which would have meant third place for both of them. A protest was lodged against this decision. Today Sweden ranks third and Norway fourth at the same time.
