The FIS is taking action: the many falls on the Lauberhorn have consequences

Lots of crashes in Wengen, lots of worries. And now the consequence: Markus Waldner, FIS race director, said after the team captains meeting: “We could see that many drivers were physically overwhelmed by the entire program.” That is why South Tyrol does not want to overtake all speed races in the future.

Beaver Creek Super-G will not be moved

“It’s not good to force something into an already overloaded agenda,” Waldner continues. Specifically, the Beaver Creek Super-G, which had to be canceled due to weather conditions, will no longer be rescheduled. The plan would take place in Kvitfjell, where there was already a descent on February 17 and a Super-G the next day.

On Saturday there were twelve retirements in the third speed race in three days in Wengen. The fall of the Norwegian Aleksander Aamodt Kilde was particularly serious, resulting in a long break.

On Thursday, one of the canceled downhill runs at Beaver Creek was rescheduled on the Lauberhorn, with the race taking place on the shortened course. (SDA/mom)
