Trouble under the Matterhorn: How much sense does this World Cup have?

Insane speeds on two boards at 3800 meters above sea level. And on a track that runs through two countries. The Ski World Cup in Zermatt and Cervinia is supposed to be one big spectacle. At the same time, it is more controversial than any other event in winter sports.

Sport is secondary because the usual lobbies get involved. But you can also focus on sport or talk about nothing else.
The speed of 135 km/h is presented as horrendous: if it is the top, it would be one of the slowest routes. As an average it would be great, but it depends on the route preparation. Above all, the Austrians will complain.
