Welcome and Opening of the Meeting The Chairman, Bernhard Russi (SUI) welcomed the FIS President Gian Franco Kasper, General Secretary Sarah Lewis, FIS Council member Eduardo Roldan (SPA), Michel Vion (FRA), Vedran Pavlek (CRO) and Sverre Seeberg (NOR) and guests to the 72nd meeting of the FIS Alpine Committee in Portoroz (SLO). There was a moment of silence in the memory of Andrej Klinar (SLO), Technical Delegate and member of Alpine Courses Sub Committee. 2. Roll Call Janez Fleré (FIS) conducted a roll call (see enclosure). Apologies were received from, Alfons Schranz (AUT), Chairman of the Sub-Committee Classification of Alpine Competitors, Stefan Krauss (GER) Chairman of the Continental Cup Sub-Committee and Pernilla Wiberg (SWE) Chair of the Alpine Equipment Working Group. 3. Approval of the Agenda The agenda was approved as presented. 4. Approval of the Minutes The minutes of the 71st Meeting held on 6th October 2011 in Zurich (SUI) were approved as presented. 5. Reports 5.1 Chairman (Bernhard Russi, SUI) The Chairman gave a report. The following are his words verbatim: “Alpine Skiing is proudly looking back to a very successful season 2010/2011. The FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Garmisch Partenkirchen (GER) were definitely one of the highlights during the past season and the Alpine Junior World Ski Championships in Crans Montana (SUI) were closer to the world’s best events and athletes than ever before. Even if the World Cup had, in some periods, a hard time due to difficult weather, temperature and snow conditions, we can talk about a very satisfying tour. Great sport on the highest possible level, exciting battles between athletes, some of them up to the last second, record crowds on site and still good TV audience figures regarding our product value on the market. A little bit away from the big media world, the Continental Cups were fulfilling fantastically the so-important connection from the base of ski racing up to the top events. We can say after this season: Alpine ski racing is successful and is growing. We realised a record number of 3861 organised FIS competitions on all different levels in 42 countries. To compare with 2005, six years ago, we had Minutes FIS Alpine Committee Meeting, Portoroz (SLO), 04.06.2011 - 5 - 2299 competitions. Participating were 15.726 competitors from 81 countries. For the statistic freaks, 37% were Ladies and 63% Men. Unfortunately we learned this year as well, that accidents will always be next door to our sport. We are aware of that, but we will never get used to the fact, and we will never stop to try to avoid it, to make our sport safer and to learn what can be done to progress on all levels without losing the fascination of each discipline. I was glad to hear that Hans Grugger (AUT), after his horrible fall in Kitzbühel (AUT), is back training with his national team again. We wish him good luck! This accident showed us, how much we all are emotionally involved in such crucial moments, but also how much the media world is interested in it and not only the sport media world! We have to understand and to accept, that there are questions being raised which cannot be answered, questions bordering on accusations. If they are coming from outside our sport, we can and we have to understand. But not if we try ourselves to find responsibility, faults or misjudgements amongst trainers, coaches, courses setters, jury members or organisers. These are the moments where we have to prove that we all understand our sport. Our sport is a natural product, which is influenced over and over by the environmental situations and not always calculable because of snow conditions, light, wind etc. And it is unlimited to the skill of the athletes. We will never have the perfect course, the perfect course setting, the perfect jump, perfect light or start position for everybody. We can only try to be close to it. From time to time, we believe to have seen the perfect race but the way to there is always borderline and dangerous. And only the racer himself can feel it and judge that limit. The most perfect jump in my skiing life, I have seen last year on the same place, on the same jump, where Hans (Grugger) unfortunately failed! I thank everybody who is making this fascination possible. All the athletes, coaches and trainers, all volunteers, all organisers, TDs and finally the Jury members, who have to decide not only between right or wrong but especially between possible or not. And finally already now, I thank you all for your good work during these spring meetings here in Portoroz.” 6. Executive Board (Bernhard Russi, SUI) Two meetings were scheduled in Portoroz. Many points from the Executive Board and Sub Committee agendas where discussed thoroughly. The following proposals were presented: New member Timing Working Group Federico Gori (ITA) is appointed as a new member of the Timing Working Group. Homologated Gate Panels As from the season 12/13 only new homologated gate panels will be used at all FIS levels competitions. The Alpine Committee supported all proposals Minutes FIS Alpine Committee Meeting, Portoroz (SLO), 04.06.2011 - 6 - 7. Evaluation 7.1 Classification of Alpine Competitors (Jeff Weinmann, USA) The Chairman Alfons Schranz (AUT) was not present due to illness and the Vice-Chairman Jeff Weinmann conducted the meeting and reported from it. He mentioned the retirement of Cliff Mason (AUS) after 18 years working in to the Sub Committee.

  • 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.

    THE THIN LINE: Life on the Edge Skier Biographies BODE MILLER Bode Miller burst onto the World Cup scene as an 18-year-old in 1996 and first gained widespread recognition when he won two silver medals at the 2002 Winter Olympics in the Giant Slalom and Combined events. Miller has won a total of four gold medals and one silver medal at the World Championships. In the 2004/2005 Season, Miller won his first overall FIS World Cup title, outlasting Austrian Benjamin Raich. In the 2006/07 Season, Miller finished 4th overall and won the Super G title. In May 2007, Miller announced that he was leaving the U.S. Ski Team to race as an independent. PICABO STREET One of the most prolific women’s racers to ever grace the U.S. Ski Team, Picabo Street was most definitely a ski racing personality. The native of tiny Triumph, Idaho announced her retirement from competition following the 2002 women’s Olympic downhill at Snowbasin, Utah, ending a career that included nine career World Cup victories, the 1995 and 1996 World Cup downhill discipline titles and a trio of World Championships medals to go along with her two Olympic medals, including the Super-G gold at the 1998 Nagano Games. In addition, Street collected a total of four U.S. National titles during her illustrious career, despite being injured and away from ski racing for two years.

    INTERNATIONAL SKI FEDERATION Blochstrasse 2 3653 Oberhofen/Thunersee Switzerland Tel +41 33 244 61 61 Fax +41 33 244 61 71 Oberhofen, 07.10.2010 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FIS MEDIA INFO FIS establishes a new expert working group for Alpine technical equipment The International Ski Federation (FIS) is pleased to announce the establishment of a new working group for Alpine technical equipment. The working group was set up to act as an independent expert body to closely follow the evolution of alpine equipment which directly influences the evolution of alpine ski racing. It will act in an advisory capacity for the FIS decision-makers and as a source of new initiatives and ideas. Specifically the group will be focused on the impact of equipment on the safety of alpine ski racing. With a high calibre membership, the new working group represents more than 150 years of recent practical experience in alpine ski racing, both from active competition and coaching. The working group consists of Pernilla Wiberg (SWE), Kjetil Andre Aamodt (NOR), Marco Büchel (LIE), Karl Frehsner (SUI), Charly Weibel (GER), and Toni Giger (AUT). Following an inaugural meeting of the group during the FIS Autumn Meetings in Zürich last week, the members decided that the group will be initially led by Toni Giger until their scope of work is fully defined. In January 2006, FIS launched the FIS Injury Surveillance System (FIS ISS) in cooperation with the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center (OSTRC) and with generous support from DJO (www.djo.eu), a global specialist in rehabilitation and regeneration products for the non- operative orthopaedic, spine and vascular markets.

  • Russi Firma Una Performance Perfetta
    SCIATORI D’EPOCA STORIA DELLA VALANGA AZZURRA 1970: Esplode Gustavo Thoeni - Speciale Mondiali VOLUME 3, NUMERO 33 Val Gardena 70 - Diario Mondiale Russi firma una performance perfetta E’ bello, ha classe natu- rale, è alto 1 e 83 e pesa 72 chili. Il suo sorriso è quello di un uomo sensi- bile e intelligente. Si esprime correntemente in francese, praticamen- te senza nessun accento, così bene come in tedesco. Da domenica, intorno alle 12:00:18, è campione del mondo di discesa. Lo sci svizzero gli deve il più sontuoso trion- fo nel campo dello sci a1pino da una trentina di anni a questa parte. Piaccia o no, la discesa è e rimarrà la prova regina dello sci alpino. Ma, dal momento che Rudi Ro- minger sui pendii ghiacciati della discesa di Innsbruck aveva vinto nel 1936 il titolo di campione del mondo in discesa libera, nessuno dei più brillanti campioni svizzeri era riuscito ad avere lo stesso successo in questa discipli- na. A 21 anni, Bernhard Russi è riuscito dove tanti prima di lui avevano fallito. In questa discesa del Sasslonch, dove tutto si gioca attorno a pochi centesimi di secondo, ha dominato con tranquilla audacia, i tre migliori disce- sisti della stagione: Karl Cordin, 2° al Lauberhorn e nell'Arlberg-Kandahar a Garmisch, l’Australiano Mal- colm Milne, vincitore della Val d’Isere - che porta la prima medaglia all’Australia - e Karl Schranz, che pri- ma di vincere il titolo qui in slalom gigante, ha vinto consecutivamente le discese di Megeve e Garmisch. Sciolina raschiata all’ultimo secondo La vittoria di Russi è rimasta appesa al filo delle frazioni infinitesimali di secondo che lo separano i rivali.

    Second Edition - 2014 INTRODUCTION When I was asked if I would write the history of the Ancient Skiers, I was excited and willing. My husband, Jim, and I were a part of those early skiers during those memorable times. We had “been there and done that” and it was time to put it down on paper for future generations to enjoy. Yes, we were a part of The Ancient Skiers and it is a privilege to be able to tell you about them and the way things were. Life was different - and it was good! I met Jim on my first ski trip on the Milwaukee Ski Train to the Ski Bowl in 1938. He sat across the aisle and had the Sunday funnies - I had the cupcakes - we made a bond and he taught me to ski. We were married the next year. Jim became Certified as a ski instructor at the second certification exam put on by the Pacific Northwest Ski Association (PNSA) in 1940, at the Ski Bowl. I took the exam the next year at Paradise in 1941, to become the first woman in the United States to become a Certified Ski Instructor. Skiing has been my life, from teaching students, running a ski school, training instructors, and most of all being the Executive Secretary for the Pacific Northwest Ski Instructors Association (PNSIA) for over 16 years. I ran their Symposiums for 26 years, giving me the opportunity to work with many fine skiers from different regions as well as ski areas. Jim and I helped organize the PNSIA and served on their board for nearly 30 years.
