As the World Ski Association FIS and the ÖSV announced on Thursday, Schladming will take over the giant slalom from Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The World Cup races there (planned for January 28th and 29th) were canceled at the beginning of the week due to the snow conditions and the unfavorable weather forecast. On Tuesday, January 24th, Schladming organizes the slalom night race.
“I would like to thank the state of Styria, the Planai-Bahnen, the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation and the European Broadcasting Union. This would not be possible without their commitment and their flexibility and professionalism,” said ÖSV General Secretary Christian Scherer in a broadcast. In Garmisch, a descent for the men would have been scheduled. It is not yet clear if and where this will take place. In addition to logistics and weather concerns, there are also media law considerations.
