FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1941
The FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1941 in alpine skiing were the tenth edition of the competition, organized by the International Ski Federation (FIS), and were held on 1–9 February 1941 in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. The FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 1941 were held simultaneously at the same location. Later, in 1946, the FIS canceled the results and deemed the Championships unofficial as the attendees only included Axis nationals and citizens of neutral countries: Italy, the German Reich (Austria joined Germany in 1938), Bulgaria, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Yugoslavia, Romania, Switzerland and Hungary.
Due to World War II, there was a nine-year hiatus of the official competition until the 1948 Winter Olympics.
