A real turning point, fast and with the feeling that it may already be decisive, without further thoughts.
On the other hand, skiing could not lose Wengen and Swiss-Ski itself could not afford to "manage" the wave of popular uprising, with interventions also at a political level, which broke out after the news that the Swiss federation had officially requested to the FIS to exclude the historic Lauberhorn stage from the World Cup calendars, starting from the 2021/22 season.
Federal number 1 Urs Lehmann therefore decided to withdraw Wengen's replacement application for the weekend of mid-January simply assigned to Switzerland (which would eventually propose another location). "There have been various positive signs and the donation of Joerg Moser, the amount of which (300 thousand francs made available by the entrepreneur) corresponds approximately to the structural deficit to host the cup stage in Wengen," they said from federal offices, stressing that now we can work to bring the negotiation to a successful end with the organizers, given that the TV rights node and the dispute brought to the CAS by President Urs Naepflin had interrupted relations and led to the extreme solution of the rossocrociata federsci.
"Thursday 28 May the minister of sport will welcome Urs Lehmann and Urs Naepflin for a joint meeting - the statement continues explaining the intervention of the policy and the commitment of Federal Councilor Viola Amherd - The note presented by the organizing committee of Wengen to the CAS however, it cannot lead to satisfying the request to have an additional million francs a year - underlines Lehmann himself - because we want to continue staging spectacular races in a unique scenario, but not at all costs ".
Money is still a problem, as was obvious that it would not be all resolved in a few hours, but the road is already on the Lauberhorn descent ...
