Spot on! The hamster wheel of sport
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The hamster wheel of sport keeps on turning. The few contemplative hours at home were more like a meticulously planned pit stop. Many winter sports enthusiasts were already packing their bags on St. Stephen's Day.
No break for the holidays, but the fans in front of the TV can look forward to highlights on the conveyor belt: the first run of the women's giant slalom on the Semmering starts today at 10 am. From 12.30 pm, Austria's speed men will be battling against their lack of success in the downhill in Bormio. At 4.30 pm, the Four Hills Tournament opens with the qualification in Oberstdorf.
World Cup flair near Vienna
Three classics in winter sports. Whereby the home World Cup at Semmering has the most recent history. But an even more successful one. At the very first edition in 1995, over 10,000 fans cheered on local heroine Elfi Eder's slalom victory. The two-year cycle introduced in 1996, alternating with Lienz, turned out to be spot on. The Ski World Cup as a guest in the vicinity of major cities, the Semmering represents an ideal location.
It takes less than an hour from Vienna to soak up the World Cup flair, and day visitors even travel from Bratislava and Hungary. Fans who would otherwise only very rarely have the pleasure of experiencing World Cup races live.
