There will also be only one in the next World Cup, with the women's competition in Lech / Zuers on 13 November and the men's one the following day, in addition to the one that will award the individual title at the Beijing Olympic Games.
However, the parallel continues to be discussed, especially after what happened at the Cortina World Championships, with what was a sort of farce, given that one of the two tracks was ruined in a much more evident way than the other, making it the rule of only half a second of maximum advantage to be gained in the first run is harmful. The FIS, however, did not touch the regulation (already modified after 2019/2020, inserting at least the double heat up to the final considering that the dry run made everything even more absurd) and so many athletes have already decided to give up the race in Austria in mid-November, thinking about the next appointments.
In particular, in Switzerland there would be the intention to give up with all its big names in the tests of Lech, as explained by Justin Murisier himself in an investigation carried out by "Blick", signed by Marcel W. Perren and Mathias Germann.
The Valais class of '93 explains: "We want to give a signal to the FIS with our decision not to start - Murisier's words - The World Championship has clearly shown that the rules of the parallel are not right, but the FIS has not changed anything and I think it makes no sense to take part in this discipline ".
There is also the aspect of injury risk that influences decisions: "With the short distance between the two routes, the risk is particularly high - says the Swiss - Skiing is not a sport suitable for a duel. 'one against the other, I am convinced like many of my colleagues that we should aim for the challenges against the time trial, at the classic specialties ”.
