  • 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).

  • 10 Exploits De Skieurs Étrangers
    LA LEGENDE DU SKI ALPIN Ce qu’il ne fallait pas louper Dix exploits de skieur(euse)s internationaux Après m’être frotté à l’épineuse question de la sélection des dix plus grands exploits de skieurs français, je rechausse les skis avec un défi encore plus insurmontable, à savoir le choix des dix plus grands exploits de l’histoire du ski alpin. Et même s’il est alambiqué de juxtaposer les époques, c’est avec force subjectivité et totale partialité que j’impose aux tribuns avertis mon anthologie plébéienne. 1 – 1937 / 1939. Les deux triplés de Christl Cranz. Championnats du monde de Chamonix et Zakopane. Christl Cranz est un nom qui ne résonne presque plus dans le monde du ski alpin. Pourtant, la trace laissée par cette championne allemande de légende est aussi profonde que son palmarès est épais. Et même si ses liens avec le national socialisme restent sulfureux, il faut lui accorder une place privilégiée dans ce palmarès. Première championne olympique de l’histoire (combiné en 1936), Cranz est la skieuse la plus titrée (12) et la plus médaillée (15) des championnats du monde de ski. Il faut dire qu’en gagnant toutes les courses disputées en 1937 et 1939 (descente, slalom et combiné), elle réalisa une razzia unique dans l’histoire de cette compétition. 2 – 1956. Toni Sailer, roi des Jeux. Jeux Olympiques de Cortina d’Ampezzo Vingt ans. C’est l’âge du jeune Autrichien Toni Sailer lorsqu’il débarque à Cortina d’Ampezzo pour disputer les VIIe Jeux olympiques d’hiver au programme desquels figurent trois épreuves de ski alpin : le géant, le slalom et la descente.

    ATOMIC.COM PRESS RELEASE 18_03_2013 MARCEL HIRSCHER E MIKAELA SCHIFFRIN: NELLA STORIA DELLO SCI SCI ALPINO. CON I SECONDI POSTI IN GIGANTE (IERI) E IN SLALOM SPECIALE (OGGI) A LENZERHEIDE (SVI) L'ATLETA AUSTRIACO CONCLUDE LA SUA FANTASTICA STAGIONE RICEVENDO "UFFICIALMENTE" LA COPPA DI SLALOM E QUELLA ASSOLUTA. E VINCENDO LA CLASSIFICA ASSOLUTA PER IL SECONDO ANNO CONSECUTIVO, ENTRA A PIENO TITOLO NELLA STORIA DELLO SCI. IN CAMPO FEMMINILE ATOMIC CONQUISTA LA COPPA DEL MONDO DI SLALOM CON LA DICIOTTENNE MIKAELA SCHIFFRIN, TERZA GIOVANE DI SEMPRE A RIUSCIRCI Marcel Hirscher a Lenzerheide (SVI) conclude la sua straordinaria stagione di Coppa del Mondo, e lo fa con un due secondi posti: Slalom Gigante (sabato 16 marzo) e Slalom Speciale (oggi). Proprio in questa località nel 2007 esordì nel massimo circuito dello sci e nello stesso luogo, sei anni dopo, è entrato nella storia dello "sport bianco" perché è il decimo sciatore di sempre a conquistare per due anni consecutivi la Coppa del Mondo di Sci Alpino. Hirscher scrive dunque il suo nome a fianco dei "grandissimi" di questo sport che prima di lui fecero "doppietta" consecutiva, parliamo (in ordine cronologico) di Jean-Claude Killy, Karl Schranz, Gustavo Thoeni, Ingemar Stenmark, Phil Mahre, Marc Girardelli, Pirmin Zurbriggen, Hermann Maier e Stephan Eberharter. Senza dubbio è stato un cammino esaltante quello del 24enne austriaco in questa stagione, infatti, guardando il tabellino, va segnalato come su 20 gare di Coppa del Mondo in cui ha preso il via è riuscito a salire sul podio ben 18 volte (6 vittorie, 10 secondi posti, 2 terzi posti), che gli sono valse la Coppa del Mondo di Slalom (ottenuta con il secondo posto nella prova di Kranjska Gora del 10 marzo scorso) e quella "Assoluta".
