The plan was to run the relay at 2 pm in the afternoon after the organizer postponed the start by one and a half hours, but now the message comes that today's race is being postponed to 2:30 pm.
At 1 pm, the message also came that the men's World Championship team competition in Nordic combined is being cancelled.
It will have to be decided on another day during the championship. The competition would have started with ski jumping and been followed by cross-country skiing.
An orange warning for storm winds was issued for Trondheim ahead of Thursday and forecasts showed that it would blow up to 26 meters per second in the gusts during the morning and early afternoon.
The World Championship arena Granåsen was not opened to the public until after lunchtime.
Despite the strong winds, there are "no visible damage to the facility or the tracks", reports the news agency NTB.
The quartet Truls Gisselman, William Poromaa, Jens Burman, and Edvin Anger will run for Sweden in the relay, which covers 4x7.5 kilometers.
