The third “FIS inspection” for the 2013 FIS Nordic Ski World Championships, a new important test for the Fiemme 2013 organising committee, took place in Cavalese (Val di Fiemme – Italy) on Monday October 26th. The FIS management, led by General Secretary Sarah Lewis, the EBU board members and the Tridem management (partner for the exploitation of the commercial rights of the event), met the Italian committee to discuss several topics concerning the organisational details, and go through the 20 main points on the FIS agenda.  
Ms. Lewis’ introductory speech was full of appreciation: “Here in Val di Fiemme I see the same “big group” who worked with professionalism in 2003 and showed great skills and a fantastic atmosphere among the staff members. I have noticed remarkable progress and we will surely keep working together with the FIS in a constructive manner.” 
The restoration projects of the Cross-Country Ski Center in Lago di Tesero and the Ski Jumping Stadium in Predazzo have been illustrated in details. The works are due to start next spring and will be completed by October 2011. New facilities for the public will be built as well as bigger areas for press and TV and a huge 2.800 squared meters underground area that will host the IBC. 
The Fiemme 2013 organising committee also intends to propose entertaining activities and events, in order to have a real 10-day “South Nordic Festival” in February 2013. People will enjoy the warm Italian Life Style and the delicious food, while spending an unforgettable time through the Dolomites, recently inscribed on UNESCO's World Heritage List.
Another interesting point on the agenda was the public transportation and the access to the venues during the 2013 Nordic Ski World Championships. Issues such as the environment, low emissions and user-friendly services were crucial, as the improvement of local transport facilities to be done within the next few years in Val di Fiemme.
At the end of the meeting, the Fiemme 2013 organising committee, presided by the two presidents Tiziano Mellarini and Pietro De Godenz, was congratulated on the work done by FIS General Secretary Sarah Lewis. 
Now the Italian committee is working to celebrate the 100th World Cup race in Val di Fiemme, scheduled on January 9th and 10th with the final leg of the FIS Tour de Ski on the legendary final climb on the Alpe Cermis. Along with the FIS Tour de Ski final race (the 100th competition will be the Women race), two FIS World Cup Nordic Combined competitions will be held on the same week end.
