Marco Buechel sees a season ... black: "The calendar will be upset and with the public how will we do it?"

The current technical commentator for ZDF has very clear ideas: "I don't think many places will be able to afford races in these conditions".

Marco Buechel has never been a banal type, both as a skier capable of catching 18 podiums in the World Cup and giving spectacle from the giant downhill, and in the post-career lived as a commentator on TV, being currently the technical commentator for the German ZDF network , and with a role in the FIS working groups. The Liechtenstein champion sees a very complicated 2020/21 season in every respect, as he stated openly during a podcast organized by skionline.ski. "It is unthinkable to allow spectators to attend the competitions, at least before an effective vaccine is discovered - Buechel's words - The distance rules are not applicable and, therefore, I doubt that the organizers of many locations can afford races without audience. The calendar? I think it will undergo major changes. " Currently there is also the problem of restrictions on travel, which prevent many national teams from training on glaciers: “It is certainly not a positive thing, because depending on the timing there may be substantial differences in the possibility of working on the snow. It is difficult to guarantee justice also from this point of view ".
