Alpine Skiingmen's world cup

Green light also for Wengen, with the novelty of the double descent on the Lauberhorn on January 15-16

After Adelboden, today the snow control is positive also for the second Swiss appointment, this year without combined and with the traditional slalom to close.

It was one of the two stages that, together with Kitzbuehel, was able to maintain both speed and technical races in the new post-Covid World Cup calendar, despite losing the historic combined. On the other hand we are talking about Wengen, the second major event in January after the other Swiss triptych in Adelboden. Just this morning, in addition to the snow control ok on the Chuenisbargli, the green light came from the FIS inspectors for the two descents scheduled on January 15-16 on the Lauberhorn and the slalom on Sunday 17. The novelty is represented precisely by a second fast race, albeit on a reduced track (starting just above the Hundschopf as happened for the descent of the combined, in order to avoid the athletes almost 5 minutes of competition in two days) for the first descent. After Bormio, the fourth and fifth seasonal specialty races for the men's World Cup are confirmed, with Dominik Paris chasing the first podium of this World Cup in a location that is never too friendly for the Italian champion, who unlocked himself last year finishing 2nd behind Beat Feuz, true master of the Lauberhorn. It will then begin with the tests, from 12 to 14 January, then on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 the two descents, again at 12.30, and on Sunday 17 the slalom with heats at 10.15 and 13.15.
