In fact, Val Gardena will be part of the men's World Cup at least until the 2022/23 season, with super-g and a descent on the Saslong that will take place on December 20-21.
"This is a very important confirmation for our long-term planning - the words of the president of Saslong Classic Club, Rainer Senoner - The idea of us organizers is to have at least five years of safety in the circuit, given that yes they invest millions of euros in new infrastructures and, in exchange, the bids must be guaranteed to be able to amortize the costs ".
The "Club5 Ski Classics", the association founded in 1988 that brings together the historic organizers of the World Cup, namely Val Gardena, Kitzbuehel, Wengen, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Val d''Isere, aims to reach 25 members within 2023, to be able to represent 75% of all the organizers. "We will strive to get the right to vote in the FIS Congress, so we have a say in all the important decisions regarding alpine skiing," said Club5 president Srecko Medven.
Meanwhile, the change to be reported regarding the races in Gardena is related to the departure time of the super-g, aligned with that of the descent on Saturday 21 December; Also on Friday the 20th we will start at 11.45 am, to meet the demands of the RAI: "We try to meet the needs of our partners - the words of Senoner himself - and we are happy that all four World Cup races in South Tyrol ( with giant and parallel giant of 22 and 23 December in Alta Badia) will be broadcast live on the first RAI channels in the pre Christmas period â€.
