+++ Update 23.01.2021: Bad weather – The downhill race in Kitzbühel postponed from Saturday to Sunday +++

Due to bad weather, the World Cup downhill race at the Streif in Kitzbühel was canceled on Saturday and postponed to Sunday (10.20 am / ZDF and Eurosport). Rain at the bottom of the route has damaged the tracks on the legendary route too much, organizers said. The Super-G, which is actually scheduled for Sunday as the end of the Hahnenkamm weekend, will run on Monday (10.45am).

“I would have liked to drive, of course, but only in good condition. If you’re in a good mood, you want that, of course,” said Andreas Sander, who was the best German in fifth place on Friday’s first descent. in Kitzbühel. Rejection is “correct” and “not a broken leg” for him. Men’s coach Christian Schwaiger also spoke of a “sensible decision”. Your team will now use the day to regenerate and do some physical training.

On Friday, the race came to a halt after 30 starts and several mandatory breaks due to poor visibility and sometimes dangerous winds. The victory went to the Swiss Beat Feuz. The Germans were convincing and they all finished in the top 13: Romed Baumann was eighth behind Sander, Dominik Schwaiger ran to twelfth place despite the high start number, one place ahead of Josef Ferstl.

The race, which like almost all World Cups was played without spectators, was overshadowed by two serious falls. Switzerland’s Urs Kryenbühl fell during the controversial target jump and suffered a concussion, a fractured right clavicle and a torn cruciate and internal ligament in his right knee. Ryan Cochran-Siegle of the USA crashed into a safety net on the difficult journey and sustained a minor cervical vertebra fracture. Both drivers were transferred by rescue helicopter.

Corona’s worries overshadow Alpine Skiing World Cup: Wengen’s career moved from Kitzbühel to Flachau

The men’s Alpine Skiing World Cup races in Kitzbühel have been canceled due to a possible 17 cases of British coronavirus mutation in nearby Jochberg. Instead, they now take place in Flachau, as announced by the FIS World Federation. The decision to cancel in Kitzbühel was made in coordination with Federal Chancellor Sebastian Kurz (ÖVP), as previously announced by Governor Günther Platter (ÖVP). After the cancellation of the Lauberhorn races in Wengen, Switzerland, Kitzbühel intervened. Now the slaloms scheduled for Saturday and Sunday will be lifted in the Salzburger Land.

The Hahnenkamm races on January 22-24 are currently not in jeopardy. However, their event depends on the results of PCR tests throughout the Kitzbühel district, Platter said. If there are no anomalies, the downhill and super-G races at the Streif could take place as planned.

A day after 17 suspected cases of infections with Britain’s mutated coronavirus became known in Jochberg, there have been no more suspected cases so far. Platter said that all 191 very specific PCR tests were negative. The trigger for the search was a training course for a ski instructor, in which mainly British people had participated. “Of course, such training is unnecessary,” Platter said, showing little understanding of the event.

The crown worries in Switzerland: Wengen’s career moves to Kitzbühel

Due to the increasing number of corona infections in Switzerland, the Alpine World Cup races in Wengen were canceled next weekend and moved to Kitzbühel. This was announced by the FIS World Ski Federation on January 11, 2021 after discussions with the Canton of Bern. Authorities had previously decided to cancel the classics at the Lauberhorn due to the alarming numbers of Covid-19 at the ski resort. International teams were asked to stop their journey to Wengen on Monday morning.

The new plan now calls for two slaloms in Kitzbühel on Saturday and Sunday. Two downhill races and a Super-G at the Streif will follow the following weekend. When and where Wengen’s second race will pick up remains open.

The situation in Wengen has worsened in recent days. “The canton is concerned about the dynamism in which the virus is spreading. Based on this fact, the health department assumes that the mutation of the virus in Great Britain in particular leads to this effect,” said the authority in Bern. Due to development, it is not possible to adequately protect athletes and supervisors in separate areas.

The canton reported more than 60 cases within the Wengen population in the past four weeks, after almost no infections had previously been reported. Apparently, many English guests were invited to Wengen during the holidays, which could have brought the new mutation of the corona virus, it was said last.

Due to Corona: International Ski Association adjusts race calendar

In view of the dynamic world crown situation, the FIS International Ski Federation has made changes to its racing calendar for the 2020/2021 Alpine World Cup season. Accordingly, it was planned to hold speed and technical races, as well as men’s and women’s competitions, as separately as possible. Several races were rescheduled and / or replaced by others.
