By the May 1st, 2007 deadline, FIS received complete application dossiers from a total of 12 candidates as follows (in alphabetical order):
? Two applications for 2012 FIS Ski Flying World Championships submitted by Harrachov (CZE) and Vikersund (NOR)
? Four applications for 2013 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships submitted by Cortina d?Ampezzo (ITA), Schladming (AUT), St. Moritz (SUI) and Vail/Beaver Creek (USA)
? Five applications for 2013 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships submitted by Falun (SWE), Lahti (FIN), Oberstdorf (GER), Val di Fiemme (ITA) and Zakopane (POL)
? One application for 2013 FIS Freestyle World Ski Championships submitted by Voss (NOR)
This represents the highest total number of applications since the introduction of the non-refundable registration fee and the guarantee for training days at the International Ski Congress in Christchurch (NZE) in 1996, which was implemented beginning with the organizers of the 2002/2003 FIS World Championships elected in Prague (CZE) in 1998. The FIS Council shall elect the organizers of the 2012/2013 FIS World Championships during the Congress Week in Cape Town (RSA) in May 2008.
No application was received for the 2013 FIS Snowboard World Championships by the May 1st deadline. However, the intention to apply has been expressed by a candidate and since there is no application submitted, the deadline for the 2013 FIS Snowboard World Championships has therefore been extended until May 28th, 2007, when the FIS Council next meets.
