The situation in the resort & agrave; Bavaria & egrave; explained by Stefan Huber, leader of the organizing committee of & rsquo; event: & ldquo; Right now it seems unlikely that the fourth and fifth stage of the Tour de Ski in Oberstdorf can contend. There are 12 degrees and a strong wind which makes it impossible & rsquo; snowmaking rings & rdquo ;.
Little comforting words even by Vegard Ulvang, chairman of the Committee of skiing within the FIS: & ldquo; We hope that the situation will be resolved soon, but the situation & egrave; good for nothing. The organizers have enough artificial snow to be used, but the temperature should lower and possibly get some snowfall spontaneous & rdquo ;.
If Oberstdorf really get up the white flag, would the resort Dobbiaco & agrave; suspect to replace her. The resort & agrave; s & rsquo; Hochpustertal will host & agrave; gi & agrave; the sixth stage, a female and a 5 Km 10 Km male, both in skating and starting at intervals, and would have difficulty & agrave; in extending its commitment to two days, although something could change.
In this regard Ulvang said: & ldquo; If you really should replace Dobbiaco Oberstdorf, there may be changes in format. L & rsquo; ring does not offer great slopes and the width & egrave; suitable for races with mass start (at Oberstdorf are scheduled one and a Skiathlon Sprint classic technique, ed). We decide something in & rsquo; & rdquo ;. meeting tomorrow
The other resorts & agrave; designed to host the Tour de Ski, Lenzerheide and the Val di Fiemme, they are already & agrave; You were confirmed: the snow is and the tracks are already & agrave; ready.
