December Stand: takes place In mid-December, a parallel giant slalom takes place on the Karerpass. It is the 10th edition of the Carezza World Cup. It has not yet been confirmed that defending champion Nadya Ochner will have to do her curves in front of empty spectator stands - but it is still very likely.

Women's Ski World Cup at Kronplatz Date: January 26th Stand: takes place, but without spectators A World Cup race is also expected at Kronplatz. On January 26th, the women are scheduled to complete a giant slalom on the infamous Erta slope. Just like in Val Gardena, no spectators will be allowed, but the event is currently not in danger - as OC boss Danny Kastlunger recently said in a statement Video Interview explained. Biathlon World Cup in Antholz Date: January 21st to 24th Stand: takes place, but without spectators The 2021 Ghost World Cup will tear a deep hole in the budget of the Antholz organizers. Up to 800.000 euros loss is expected, as Lorenz Leitgeb from the OK team told us SportNews announced. The fact that the World Cup is still taking place is also due to the popular location of Antholz. “We want to show that we can organize an event like this even in these difficult times.

Because the event cannot be financed without international sponsors, spectators and starters, the freestyle festival was canceled. “In recent years it has already been very difficult to raise sufficient sponsorship money. “Now cost coverage cannot be guaranteed,” said Eduard Tröbinger from Seiser Alm Marketing SportNews . It is still unclear whether there will be another Slopestyle World Cup in South Tyrol next year. Slalom European Cup in Obereggen Date: 17. December Stand: cancelled The traditional European Cup slalom in Obereggen also falls victim to the coronavirus. Because the effort would be too great, the race was canceled.
