Semmering World Cup
The ski circus brings the magic mountain to the boil
After a year's break, thousands of fans came back to the Semmering to cheer on our female skiers Kathi Liensberger, Franziska Gritsch and Julia Scheib in person. A perfect atmosphere and the best weather were guaranteed.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen Sunshine, bright blue skies and an audience that was not only in a good mood, but also very enthusiastic about how professionally the event was organized. No traffic jams on arrival, plenty of parking spaces and shuttle buses and enough space on the site itself.
Semmering's mayor Hermann Doppelreiter is also delighted. Especially from the fans. "The fans in Semmering are known for not only cheering on the local skiers, but also the athletes from all other nations," says Doppelreiter, who is a big ski fan himself.
Small fly in the ointment: no night race this year
The only point of criticism among fans is that there will be no night race this year due to television regulations. However, a lot of money has been invested in improvements to the start and finish area. The course itself was also widened by 17 meters at a narrow section. 240,000 euros were spent on this.
The race in yesterday's giant slalom was won this time by the Italian Federica Brignone, our Julia Scheib finished in a proud sixth place.
A varied supporting program is also provided. Music stars such as Marc Pircher and "Die Jungen Zillertaler" warmed up the audience yesterday. Today's program includes the slalom from 10.30 am. From 11.30 a.m., "Die jungen Waldensteiner" and the band "Wiener Wahnsinn", among others, will ensure a good atmosphere.
And in two years' time, you can look forward to a night race again.
