European Cup: St. Vigil is also ready

“On the one hand, we were very lucky because the cold came just in time for the snow cannons. On the other hand, the technicians from the St. Vigil cable cars worked day and night to produce enough snow on the racing slope,” says OK boss Willi Kastlunger, who is glad that the efforts were not in vain.

So nothing stands in the way of the European Cup night parallel slalom for women and men in St. Vigil. After an initial postponement from December 13th to 15th, which turned out to be a fortunate decision, the European Cup athletes will compete in the qualification slalom at the Furkel Pass on Monday morning. The best 32 men will be determined on the European Cup-tested Pré da Peres racing slope, who will fight for important European Cup points in the parallel slalom in the afternoon and evening. The setting for this spectacle will be the illuminated Cianross piste in the village center of St. Vigil.

The winner of the evening will take home around 2.000 euros in prize money. The hot phase of the European Cup night parallel slalom will be broadcast live by Rai Sport 17.10 from 18.50:2 p.m. to XNUMX:XNUMX p.m.

At last year's edition of the parallel slalom in St. Vigil, in which the women celebrated their premiere at Kronplatz, victory went to the Swede Anna Swenn-Larsson ahead of the German Marina Wallner and her compatriot Lisa Blomquist. Susanne Weinbuchner from Germany came fourth. In the men's race, the German Linus Strasser came off the slopes as the winner, ahead of the Swiss Reto Schmiediger and the Swede Per Saxvall. Azzurro Giordano Ronci landed just at the foot of the podium.

Due to the postponement from December 13th to 15th, the women will not be there this year, as they will be competing in planned races in Zinal (Switzerland) from December 15th.
