  • World Championships Return to Sweden Hirscher Targets Sailer's
    PREVIEW 2019 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS - 5-17 Feb World Championships return to Sweden • Åre will host the World Championships for the third time after 1954 and 2007. • Austria is the most successful country at the World Championships with 95 gold medals, 99 silver, and 92 bronze medals (286 total medals). Switzerland is next on 191 medals - 64 gold, 68 silver, and 59 bronze. • Austria have collected at least one medal at 41 of the previous 44 world championships. The only exceptions are 1934, 1938 and 1939. • Austria (149) is one medal shy of winning its 150th medal in men's events. Norway (47) needs three more medals to reach 50 medals in men's events. • Sweden won its most gold (3) and its most total medals (7) in 2007, the last time the World Championships were held in Sweden (also Åre). • Sweden's last world title came at the World Championships in 2007, when Anja Pärson won the ladies' super-G, downhill, and alpine combined. • Pärson (7 gold) is one of four Swedish world champions alongside Ingemar Stenmark (5), Pernilla Wiberg (4) and Jonas Nilsson (1). Hirscher targets Sailer's record, Svindal bows out • Marcel Hirscher (6) is one world title shy of joining Toni Sailer as the only men with seven world titles. The other active skiers close to Sailer's men's record are Aksel Lund Svindal and Ted Ligety (both 5). • Hirscher (9) and Svindal (8) are closing in on joining four men on 10 or more World Championships medals: Kjetil André Aamodt (12), Marc Girardelli (11), Lasse Kjus (11) and Benjamin Raich (10).

  • Technical and Tactical Implications of the New FIS Ski Specifications
    Technical and Tactical Implications of the new FIS Ski Specifications Ron LeMaster The FIS set off a firestorm of controversy and speculation this July when it announced that, starting in the 2012-2013 season, World Cup skis would be subject to new regulations. In an effort to increase athlete safety, FIS sought to reduce what they believe to be significant injury risk factors: the forces on skiers in the turn, the aggressiveness with which the skis interact with the snow (that is, how abruptly they engage, and how difficult it is to make them release), and overall speeds in general. Sidecut for downhill and super-G skis was also increased, as was ski length for all but slalom skis. The rule getting the most attention, almost universally negative, was an increase in the minimum sidecut radius of GS skis: 40m for men’s skis and 35m for women’s, up from 27m and 23m, respectively. Another change that has come under fire from many quarters is a reduction of the stand height – the distance between the bottom of the ski and the skier’s heel inside the boot – for downhill and super-G skis, from 50mm to 45mm. The GS ski dimensions seemed to be a big step backwards. The proposed sidecut radii haven’t been seen on race skis since the 1980s. Current World Cup competitors who tested prototype skis conforming to the proposed regulations gave them uniformly bad reviews. The turning forces were reduced as well as the skis’ aggressiveness, but at the cost of requiring techniques and tactics - such as skidding, stepping, and conservative, high lines - that look and feel dated and clumsy.

  • President's Letter
    June 12, 2020 PRESIDENT’S LETTER Downtime Quarantining at home, we’re all facing a bit more downtime than usual. I started to learn the ukulele and it’s going great, assuming all you want to hear is “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” I’ve also practiced Morse code for the first time since my Boy Scout days. Still having trouble with numbers and punctuation, but I’ve got the 26 letters of the alphabet nailed. Sadly, Morse code doesn’t come up too often in conversation. Putting aside music and ham radio, this is a good opportunity to hone your own professional skills and undertake long-overdue office projects. Get caught up on that pile of New Yorker magazines, some of the best writing in the country. Take out your digital SLR camera and learn the difference between aperture and shutter priority. Create space on your computer by backing up and deleting old files. Learn a few more Photoshop skills such as cropping, brightness/contrast and image size. Get acquainted with new outdoor apps like National Geographic’s iNaturalist or The Cornell Lab’s Merlin. Start a website or blog showcasing your work. Increase your proficiency in video editing. Create a target list of editors to pitch. View a professional development seminar, such as the recent webinar hosted by New York-based freelance journalist Meena Thiruvengadam linked below. The world is slowly opening up and I fully expect we’ll all come roaring back in the fall. Having a few more skills in your professional quiver will keep your career on track.
