The first Nordic Skiing World Championships were held in Chamonix in 1924, as part of the first Winter Olympics, which were only later recognized as such.

The 1940 Nordic World Ski Championships were canceled due to the war, but this was also criticized at the time.

The Italian winter sports resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo organized the 1941 Nordic World Ski Championships.

However, the FIS subsequently declared these invalid at a congress in Pau in 1946, so that the medals awarded lost their official status and were no longer counted.
