2nd Wengen Super-G in history: This is how it starts

On the program on Thursday (12.30 p.m.) is the Super-G, which was first canceled in Lake Louise in November and then in Bormio at the end of December. In terms of weather, nothing stands in the way of taking place at the foot of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau. All runners were excited about setting the course on a route with a start above the Minschkante.

So far there has been a Super-G three times in the history of the International Lauberhorn Races, but the race has only actually taken place in Wengen once. In 1994, Marc Giradelli from Vorarlberg, who competed for Luxembourg, came out ahead of the two Norwegians Jan Einar Thorsen and Atle Skaardal. In 1988, the Lauberhorn races, including a Super-G (winner Felix Belczyk from Canada), took place in Leukerbad, and in 1990 they took place in Val d'Isère.

However, none of those currently active have had World Cup experience at a Super-G in Wengen. “It's new territory for everyone, but everything is possible for everyone,” said Matthias Mayer, for example. The top favorite on Thursday is Aleksander Aamodt Kilde, who has won three of the four previous Super-Gs. 3 South Tyroleans there From a South Tyrolean perspective, Dominik Paris, Christof Innerhofer and Riccardo Tonetti are at the start.

With the SportNews -Live ticker will allow you to be up close and personal from 12.30 p.m.

In any case, everything is prepared for magnificent pictures from the Bernese Oberland. From Thursday to Sunday it is mostly cloudless, and temperatures are climbing from the now double-digit minus range. As was the case last weekend in Adelboden, spectators will also be allowed at the Lauberhorn races, but not yet on Thursday.
