  • Lo Sci Alpino
    LO SCI ALPINO Silvia Martinalli 1) Storia STORIA DELLO SCI Lo sci alpino in senso moderno iniziò a svilupparsi soltanto a partire dalla metà del XIX e nel 1896 un Austriaco introdusse un nuovo metodo per curvare che si avvicinava molto a quello dello sci moderno. Nel secondo dopoguerra lo sci alpino non è più solo un passatempo per gente di montagna o ricchi turisti ma diventa sport di massa grazie anche al nascere di stazioni sciistiche attrezzate con numerosi impianti di risalita. Lo sci alpino moderno si articola in 4 diverse discipline: discesa libera, super gigante, slalom gigante e slalom speciale. GARE ED EVOLUZIONE DELLA DISCIPLINA Le gare di sci erano assai diffuse già nel XIX secolo nei paesi scandinavi, ma si trattava principalmente di gare di sci nordico. A fine Ottocento sulle Alpi iniziarono a disputarsi le prime gare alpine, come la discesa del 1893 in Austria o la discesa organizzata in Germania dal Club della Foresta Nera, con un dislivello di 160 metri. Alla fine del XIX secolo e l'inizio del XX nacquero numerosi club e associazioni per la promozione dello sci soprattutto nei paesi alpini, in quelli scandinavi e nel Nord America; furono soprattutto gli inglesi a contribuire allo sviluppo delle gare di discesa, tipicamente alpine, snobbate per altro dagli scandinavi, appassionati di sci di fondo. 2) Gli sci Sci da discesa Per lo sci alpino, fino alla metà degli anni 90, gli sci erano lunghi e quasi dritti lateralmente (in realtà già avevano una leggera sciancratura). Oggi si usano sci sciancrati cioè dalla forma parabolica: stretti al centro e più larghi in punta e coda, sono i cosiddetti sci carving.

    Patrick Lang’s Column 11th December 2019 LA «SQUADRA ROSA» C’È! THE STRONG ITALIAN TEAM! The winners’ list of the numerous World Cup stages organized in Sestriere since 1967 – many part being of in the prestigious Arlberg-Kandahar “Classic” – really is impressive… Most of the stars and “Skiing Legends” from the 1960s until 2016 excelled on the various slopes of the Vialattea which also hosted thrilling medal events back in 1997 (FIS World Championships) and 2006 (Olympics), without forgetting the exciting World Cup Finals in 2004! Among the winners on the women’s tour one can find the name of two Italian aces - Giustina Demetz who enjoyed a memorable win in downhill in March 1967 (sharing first place with France’s exceptional Marielle Goitschel) while Maria Rosa Quario won a slalom later on in 1983! In January 2020, a group of specialists of the “Squadra Rosa” will surely be fighting hard to claim the first Italian victory in a World Cup giant slalom race on the challenging G. Agnelli course, 23 years after the gold medal triumphs of Deborah Compagnoni in both tech events of the FIS World Championships. Interestingly enough, there are several Italian candidates ready to strike as shown by the results of the first competitions held in Austria and North America, where four Italian champions celebrated a brilliant victory and several podium finishes in three different specialties – giant slalom, downhill and Super-G. At Killington, 23-year-old Marta Bassino enjoyed her maiden World Cup victory after two blistering runs. She beat all the

PRESENTATION AT REGIONE LOMBARDIA OF THE WORLD CUP RACES SCHEDULED IN SANTA CATERINA IN DECEMBER The two Alpine Skiing World Cup men’s races were presented today in Milan, as part of the press conference organized by the non-profit organization “Cancro Primo Aiuto” to present Trofeo Walter Fontana, which includes winter sports races of all levels on the Valtellina slopes. On December 28, the Deborah Compagnoni track in Santa Caterina Valfurva (Sondrio) will host the downhill race, while the next day it’s going to be Alpine combined time (last year it took place in Kitzbuehel – Aut), which will consist of a super-G and one slalom manche. You can already ski in Santa Caterina and six European Cup slaloms are currently scheduled on the slope starting from yesterday and up to Saturday.

    USA ALPINE SKIING OLYMPIC HISTORY US Olympic History: The United States has competed in Alpine skiing at every Olympic Winter Games at which the sport has been on the Olympic Program, which is since 1936. The first great USA Alpine skiing Olympian was Gretchen Fraser, who won two medals at the 1948 St. Moritz Games, with a slalom gold and a combined silver. She was followed by Andrea Mead-Lawrence who starred at the 1952 Oslo Games, winning two gold medals in the giant slalom and slalom. No Americans won medals in 1956 but in 1960 at Squaw Valley, Penny Pitou won two silver medals in downhill and giant slalom, with Betsy Snite winning the slalom silver medal. Through 1960, no American man had won a medal with the best finish to that date a 4th- place by Tom Corcoran in the 1960 giant slalom. American men finally broke through to win Alpine skiing Olympic medals in 1964 at Innsbruck when Billy Kidd and Jimmy Heuga placed 2-3 in the slalom on the last day of the Games. It would be another 16 years before a US man won a medal in Alpine, when Phil Mahre took silver in the slalom at Lake Placid. But American women continued to win medals, with Jean Saubert winning a silver and a bronze in 1964, and in 1972, Barbara Cochran won gold in the slalom while Susie Corrock got the downhill bronze. In 1976 at Innsbruck, Cindy Nelson came through for a downhill bronze medal. American men continued on the medal podium in 1984, when Bill Johnson won the downhill, and Phil Mahre and his twin brother, Steve, went 1-2 in the slalom.
