There will be many changes and even surprises, this is now certain.
After the cancellation of the North American races, to save the 2020/21 World Cup and minimize the risks associated with the Coronavirus, the FIS is increasingly moving towards a plan that includes fast disciplines competitions on the one hand and techniques on the one hand. other, in the same places and if possible avoiding intersections between the male and female sectors, which will already be there for the giants of Soelden and the slalom of Levi.
If the entry of the "parallel weekend" in mid-November in Lech / Zuers is not yet under discussion, the "Blick" reports how practically all Swiss towns will be involved in variations, starting from the one we are talking about for weeks with regard to Wengen, where a downhill and a super-g could be played, eliminating the combined and moving the slalom to Schladming.
Just the combined and the parallels (to the delight of many fans ...) could disappear from the new calendar which will be made official by next October 3rd; Davos risks not even re-entering, almost 37 years after the last time, due to the parallel of 1 January which could therefore jump, but even before that it is thought to remove the parallel of Sankt Moritz, where women will already have a descent ( recovery of Lake Louise) in addition to the expected super-g and, almost certainly, another fast race.
Triptych between downhill and super-g that could also involve Crans-Montana, where a downhill and a combined (so dear to Federica Brignone) are currently planned on the Mont Lachaux track. “Yes, such a variation is possible and we have already applied to Swiss-Ski,” Hugo Steinegger, head of the organizing committee of the classic in the canton of Valais, told the Swiss newspaper.
