Crans Montana is a famous ski resort in the Valais canton, which boasts 140 km of alpine ski slopes and over 200 for snowboarding and cross country skiing. It has hosted several competitions of the World Cup, but is best remembered for the 1987 edition of the World, shockingly dominated by the Swiss hosts, the medal winners with 8 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze medals in 10 races. The three-day Crans Montana has two Combined Alpine, a recovering one annulled in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee in mid-January, and one already anticipated in the original timetable. Given all the changes to format and name, are 3 women's Combined World Cup played until now in Crans Montana, 4 if you add the one that gave the World Championship gold in 1987. 4 are also different winners: in 1977 He prevailed Marie-Therese Nadig, in 1981 and 2008 Christa Kinshofer Anja PÃ¤rson, while Erika Hess graduated world champion January 31, 1987. Hess is the only woman who has more than a podium: in addition to the world success, was second behind Kinshofer 21 January 1981. At the level of nations, Switzerland has 2 wins and 1 second place, 3 podiums even for States States, three third places respectively obtained from Chrstin Cooper in 1981, by Tamara McKinney in 1987 and the world Cup Lindsey Vonn combined held last March 9, 2008. The best placement of an Italian woman in a multiple trial Alpine Skiing held in Crans Montana is the thirteenth of Johanna Schnarf of 2008, decidedly bitter results although the female Combined is not historically a particularly beloved discipline from the blue-bearer. The Combined Alpine Crans Montana which recovers to Altenmarkt-Zauchensee will be held Friday, Feb. 24. The race will start at 10:30 SuperG, the Slalom at 14:30. The race however already originally scheduled will be staged on Sunday, February 26, with heats of SuperG always set to 10:30 and the Slalom instead at 13:30.
