There are still four and a half months to go until the start of the World Ski Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm. While the best skiers in the world are competing for medals, 1400 people are helping out. Project coordinator Florian Phleps spoke to the "Krone" about the current state of affairs. 

There are still only a few flags, signs and the clock on the village square in Saalbach-Hinterglemm to indicate what will be going on next year. But the Ski World Championships are getting closer and closer. Four and a half months remain until the big event kicks off from February 4 to 16, the second World Championships to be held here since 1991.
