Schladming Night Race 2021: 4 South Tyroleans there

The floodlight spectacle normally attracts around 50.000 visitors. Thousands of people are also crowded together in the city center, which has been converted into a party mile, or in permitted areas on the hillside. None of this will happen in times of Corona.

After the slalom classics in Wengen and Kitzbühel (they were held in Flachau) fell victim to corona-related postponements in January, nothing now stands in the way of the night race in Schladming. On Tuesday, the slalom elite can expect a “very crisp slope” on the Planei (one of the most difficult slalom slopes in the World Cup). This was assured by Hans Grogl, President of the Organizing Committee of the Schladming Night Race. The nighttime temperatures have been well below freezing for a few days now. Will Vinatzer find his form again? From a South Tyrolean perspective, Alex Vinatzer in particular wants to make amends. He has already impressively shown that the young man from Val Gardena has a lot of potential this season with 4th place (in Alta Badia) and 3rd place (in Madonna). At the moment it also seems to be a matter of his head after he was eliminated 4 times in a row. In Schladming last year he was able to show off with 6th place, even though after the race the main talk was about the speedster who crossed the finish line during his second run.

In addition to Vinatzer, Manfred Mölgg, Simon Maurberger and Tobias Kastlunger will be there from a local perspective on Tuesday evening. While Kastlunger will be at the start in Schladming for the first time, Mölgg (he has already been on the podium here three times, including the 1 World Cup) and Maurberger (he celebrated his best World Cup result here last year with 2013th place) already have very good memories to the plan.

Stefano Gross, Federico Liberatore, Giuliano Razzoli and Tommaso Sala complete the Azzurri squad. The first round begins at 1:17.45 p.m. The final will then take place from 20.45:XNUMX p.m. With the SportNews Live ticker means you won't miss anything.

No bursting stands, no partygoers rolling through the World Cup mile. The Slalom Night Race in Schladming on Tuesday will be different than all previous editions, also for the South Tyroleans.
