    PRESS RELEASE The FIS praises the “excellent” standards of the Finals and commits to bringing the World Cup back to Andorra “Now the ball’s in your court, be prepared because we’ll be back as soon as possible,” the secretary of the association confirmed They are going look for a “solution” to find a slot in their agenda so that the Avet slope can host a men’s event in the next few years Shiffrin and Hirscher have been crowned the stars of the 2019 Andorra Finals, which have brought together almost 25,000 people over the course of the week Andorra la Vella, 17 March 2019. Andorra has demonstrated that it is fully prepared to host events of a large international scale and the top management of the International Ski Federation (FIS) has witnessed this first hand. The love story with the Principality started to take shape twelve years ago when the first steps were taken to organise the World Cup here, resulting in Soldeu 2012 women’s events, as the World Cup director for men’s races, ​ Markus Waldner, recalls. The relationship was consolidated with the competitions in 2016 ​ and has grown stronger during the Finals held this week in Soldeu el Tarter de Grandvalira. ​ ​ And it seems very likely that the relationship will last for many years to come: “We’ve put ​ the ball in your court,” said Secretary General of the FIS, Sarah Lewis, who believes that ​ Andorra is prepared for them to “be back as soon as possible,” after hosting Finals that she described as “excellent”.

  • Watching Janica Kostelic on Tv Psyched Me Up
    WATCHING JANICA KOSTELIC ON TV PSYCHED ME UP Mikaela Shiffrin studied her idol on TV in 2005, when she won the slalom in Santa Caterina Valfurva The stars and stripes anthem for Mikaela Shiffrin fills the Stelvio course's parterre with enthusiasm while the American from Vail jumps on the podium with Maria Pitilae-Holmner and Nastasia Noens. And it suddenly stops raining and even snowing in Bormio! It looks like the weather too wants to celebrate the triumph of this amazing eighteen years old girl from Colorado. Tomorrow the weather conditions will be good and the men's World Cup slalom on the Stelvio is going to regularly take place at 14.45pm (1st run) and 6.10pm (2nd run). The three ladies of today's slalom spoke during the press conference at the Bormio, via Roma press office. These are the official quotes of the three champions: MIKAELA SHIFFRIN (Usa) – First place in Bormio "It 's been a battle, but I was ready. I have improved a lot in the past three weeks and today I felt strong, but I think I can still improve during the rest of the season. The skis were so good today and I was ready to go fast. It was an exciting battle with Marlies Schild when in Lienz. The most important thing is to work the hardest possible and ski better and better. I am so happy with my results so far in this season. I had never skied in Bormio before but I remember when I watched my idol Janica Kostelic on TV in 2005.
