  • Alcott 12Th in Bad Kleinkirchheim
    Snowsport GB, Hillend, Biggar Road, Midlothian, EH10 7EF Tel: 0131-445-7676; www.snowsportgb.com [email protected] Sunday 15th January 2006 Bad Kleinkirchheim, Austria. Alcott: 12th in Bad Kleinkirchheim The British Land Alpine Ski Team's Chemmy Alcott buried the disappointment of a relatively poor downhill showing yesterday in Bad Kleinkirchheim, Austria when she skied to an impressive 12th place in today's World Cup Women's Super G. Racing first down the course Alcott, (23, Twickenham/The British Land Alpine Ski Team) set aside any nervousness about being the first woman ever to ski Super G on the resort's Franz Klammer Weltcup Abfahrt piste, and set a time of 1 minute 10.35 seconds. Her run set her up in the top three until several of the Women's Super G big guns attacked it, but 12th - the second best ever British Women's Super G result after her own 11th in Lake Louise in late 2003 - is her best result of the season so far and the third best World Cup result of her career so far. After struggling in some of the women's world cup downhills Alcott was pleased not only with her skiing today, but also with the way in which she handled the pressure of skiing first. Two years ago she let the stress of opening the course get to her, but today she was able to use her intuition to ski the fall line as much as possible and return a very encouraging result, less than a month before the start of the Olympic Winter Games.

  • Portraits Décapants
    PORTRAITS DÉCAPANTS Carnet de visites de skieurs(euses) Comme dans les précédents numéros du Sportivore, je vous invite à rencontrer quelques éminentes figures du passé ou du présent qui ont été rebaptisées d’un « petit nom ». Et même s’ils ne sont pas légion, le ski demeurant une activité assez confidentielle, voici les portraits décapants de champion(ne)s qui n’ont pas froid aux yeux. Blitz aus Kitz, L’éclair noir de Kitzbühel (Toni Sailer) 6”2 secondes. C’est la marge monstrueuse avec laquelle cet Autrichien charmeur au bonnet à pompon blanc est devenu champion olympique de slalom géant en 1956. Depuis, on n’a jamais fait mieux. D’ailleurs, ce natif de Kitzbühel, Mecque du ski alpin, est une légende vivante dans son pays. C’est ainsi que, celui qui aurait dû devenir chef d’orchestre dans les rêves de son père, va donner entre 1955 et 1958 un exceptionnel récital sportif, avec notamment un sans- faute en slalom géant, sept titres mondiaux (1956, 1958) et un mémorable triplé olympique (1956). Son fabuleux succès des Jeux de 1956 fit de lui l’idole de la jeunesse autrichienne et un symbole de la renaissance du pays (indépendant l’année précédente). La notoriété du beau Toni se renforça lors de son aventure avec Romy Schneider, jeune actrice de dix-huit ans. Mais à vingt-trois ans, à une époque où l’on ne badinait pas avec l’amateurisme, l’éclair noir de Kitzbühel fut disqualifié pour avoir monnayé une prestation dans un film où il interprétait le rôle… d’un skieur ! Blessé dans son orgueil, il décida de raccrocher et rejoignit les plateaux de cinéma (vingt-deux films) et les studios d’enregistrement (dix-huit albums) avant de revenir en 1972 à ses premiers amours, comme directeur technique de la Fédération autrichienne de ski.

  • Erik Guay Becomes Oldest World Champion in Alpine Skiing History
    Erik Guay becomes oldest world champion in Alpine skiing history Associated PressFeb 8, 2017, 7:38 AM EST ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) — Erik Guay led the veteran Canadians over the favored Norwegians in the super-G on Wednesday and became the oldest gold medalist at the world ski championships. The 35-year-old Guay beat Olympic super-G champion Kjetil Jansrud by 0.45 seconds – his first victory in almost three years. Guay triumphed less than two weeks after a spectacular crash, when he flew 60 meters (yards) in the air off a jump in a treacherous World Cup downhill. “It’s incredible. I’m as happy as can be,” said Guay, putting his win down to “forgetting about everything and having a fun race.” It was a banner day for Canada after Norway seemed sure to also take bronze in an event it dominates. But late-starting Manny Osborne-Paradis edged World Cup champion Aleksander Aamodt Kilde off the podium. On his 33rd birthday, Osborne-Paradis claimed his first career championship medal, trailing Guay by 0.51. He was serenaded by a finish-area crowd, and later was hugged by his mother. Guay added super-G gold to his downhill title from the 2011 worlds in Garmisch- Partenkirchen.
