A special visit to the Val Gardena World Cup slope

The tour of the Val Gardena downhill run - carried out by representatives of the international ski sports association FIS and the Saslong Classic Club - has long been one of the fixed points in the preparation for the upcoming World Cup season. This was also the case recently when some improvements to the South Tyrolean flagship event were discussed. The Ski World Cup will take place in Val Gardena on December 16th (Super-G) and December 17th (Downhill).

In the morning, the delegation, which included representatives of the local organizing committee, FIS race directors Markus Waldner and Hannes Trinkl, Waldner's assistant Raimund Plancker, FIS media coordinator Charlotte Chable and director Sandro de Manincor, went to the traditional South Tyrolean downhill slope. New camera positions were identified in some parts of the Saslong, which are intended to provide viewers at home with even more spectacular images in front of their television screens in their living rooms on the last weekend before Christmas. “We are pleased that a ‘normal’ Saslong Classic will take place.” OK President Rainer Senoner In the afternoon, Rainer Senoner, President of the Saslong Classic Club, gave an insight into the preparations currently underway. “We are celebrating two anniversaries this year. On the one hand, the Saslong Classic is taking place for the 55th time, and on the other hand, race numbers 99 and 100 will be held on the traditional Val Gardena piste. That makes this year’s World Cup something very special for us,” explained Senoner. As far as preparations for the semi-circular birthday are concerned, the Val Gardena organizing committee is well on track. “Our team leaders have their respective sectors well under control. We are pleased that after two editions under the auspices of the pandemic, this year a 'normal' Saslong Classic will take place in front of a full house with a supporting program and that we can celebrate the 55th edition accordingly,” Senoner continued.

When it comes to the sporting program, Val Gardena sticks to the tried and tested. The popular speed event opens on Friday, December 16th with the Super-G and reaches its climax and conclusion the next day - on Saturday, December 17th - with the classic downhill run. The expected start time is 11.45:XNUMX a.m.
