The exclusion from the World Cup from the 2021/22 season is now a distant memory, after another step forward has been made today between the parties involved, namely the organizers of the Lauberhorn of Wengen and Swiss -Ski.
With the insertion of the policy to find an agreement, after the war in recent years linked to the economic situation of one of the classic stages of great skiing, Federal Councilor Viola Amherd today held the meeting between Urs Lehmann in Bern , number 1 of the Swiss federsci, and the head of the organizing committee of the competitions in the Bernese Oberland, Urs Naepflin.
As reported by the "Blick", "we have managed to find a constructive solution and the Lauberhorn races are guaranteed for the next few years", announced Amherd, clarifying that it does not want to reveal further details on the economic agreements entered into. Naepflin himself announced that the case brought to CAS to challenge Swiss-Ski about the distribution of TV rights. The intervention of the entrepreneur Joerg Moser, who announced a donation of 300 thousand francs, gave a hand in this direction and today Federal President Urs Lehmann spoke of "great relief, for a solution that demonstrates the importance of sport. Image damage? I don't think they will be relevant, indeed I believe that all of this has sensitized many parties to prevent a similar situation from happening again in the future ”.
As known, Wengen is currently on a stable basis in the long-term World Cup calendars, that is, up to and including the 2022/23 season. After this new white smoke, however, the future of the Lauberhorn weekend seems guaranteed to be far-reaching.
