European Cup Reinswald: The Sarntal is looking for its new speed king

This year you could see prominent ski racers at the start in Sarntal who would otherwise no longer take part in the European Cup. The Alpine Ski World Championships start in Schladming in just under two weeks. Each nation is only allowed to have four athletes start there per discipline. That's why it could well be that one or two people who stay at home show up in South Tyrol to keep fit and take part in races.

“It would of course be a great improvement for our European Cup races if one or two World Cup athletes came to Reinswald. The slopes are in perfect condition and the FIS snow control was positive as expected at the end of last week. Reinswald is ready, the European Cup can come,” says OC boss Konrad Stauder before the ninth edition of the European Cup classic, where around 80 volunteers will once again be involved.

First race on Wednesday, January 30th

The program that the organizing Race Center Sarntal around OK boss Konrad Stauder is sticking to this year has proven itself in recent years. After the opening ceremony on Sunday, January 27th at 18 p.m. in the Reinswald village hall, training will take place on Monday, January 28th and Tuesday, January 29th from 10 a.m. on the almost 3600 meter long Plankenhorn piste with an 840 meter difference in altitude in Reinswald.

The first race, the classic downhill, will take place on Wednesday, January 30th. The winner of the super combined will be determined the next day before the Sarn European Cup week ends, as always, on Friday (February 1st) with the super-G.

New: Reinswalder Ski King wanted There is also something new for the ninth birthday of the Sarn European Cup week. This year the Reinswalder Ski King will be honored for the first time. The racer who collects the most European Cup points in the three races (downhill, super combined, super G) receives an original Sarner hat.

The Swiss Ralph Weber, for example, arrives in Reinswald with a lot of praise. He took part in four downhill runs this year and achieved one victory, one second place and one fourth place. The Austrian Markus Dürager achieved a victory, a third place and a fifth place in the “supreme discipline”. These two would also like to prove their good form in the Sarntal.

As far as the Super-G is concerned, only one race has been held so far. On the Reiteralm, the Austrian Clemens Dorner prevailed, ahead of the German Fabio Renz and Dorner's compatriot Vincent Kriechmayr. This week a second one is being added in Val d'Isere. The first super combination of the season, however, has yet to take place - in Reinswald.
