Kitzbühel is planning without spectators – Schröcksnadel continues to hope

Michael Huber, the president of the Kitzbühel Ski Club, told ORF that the focus was on carrying out the sporting program (downhill, super-G and slalom). The budget will be cut by a third, there will be no VIP tent, no public starting number draw, award ceremonies or other parties. You have to weigh up what risk you are willing to take, explained Huber. “We are operating in a complete vacuum in terms of financial risk,” he said. You can insure a race as far as the weather is concerned, but not against a pandemic. “We have to weigh up the risks we are taking in terms of costs and income. The traffic light could turn red a week before the Hahnenkamm, and then we would be standing there and not getting a cent. And invested all the risk capital.” Schröcksnadel confident The World Cup opener on the 17th/18th. October with two giant slalom races in Sölden will definitely take place without spectators. ÖSV President Peter Schröcksnadel still hopes that there will be a vaccination soon and that spectators at other ÖSV events will be possible again. “I hope and am confident that we will have a vaccination in the foreseeable future. And with it an antidote,” said Schröcksnadel in the current issue of trends and repeated a statement that has already been made many times. “There will be a vaccination at the end of October” Peter Schröcksnadel Fans are conceivable in Kitzbühel and Schladming (January 26th), he will be on Friday Standard quoted. “There will be a vaccination at the end of October,” he predicted. “Then it’s more than two months to Kitzbühel. We’ll wait and see how everything develops.” With a vaccination you can go to any race, explained Schröcksnadel in the trends further. “In any case, I'm relatively sure that it will happen towards the end of the season. The question is whether there will be the appropriate quantities of vaccine by then.” As already announced, he will no longer be available for the ÖSV elections in June 2021. “I have no ambition to serve beyond June 2021. One of our sporting goals is, of course, to bring the Nations Cup back from Switzerland." For his last season as ÖSV President, he wishes: "If I have success in a season like the one coming - sportingly and economically - that will be a greater success than in a normal year. As an athlete, I take it as a sport.”
