Courchevel: Taking Skiing to New Heights COURCHEVEL: TAKING SKIING TO NEW HEIGHTS 9th EDITION OF THE AUDI FIS LADIES ALPINE SKI WORLD CUP – 21ST & 22ND DECEMBER 2018 An unmissable stage of the Ladies’ circuit, Courchevel is thrilled to welcome the “crème de la crème” of the discipline for two events: giant slalom on Friday 21st December and slalom on Saturday 22nd December. On the 21st of December, Courchevel will host the giant slalom event for the 7th time. Both spectacular and technical, over the seasons it has become a classic on the Ladies circuit. Many champions take part, all keen to become the next Mikaela Shiffrin (USA), who won last year’s competition ahead of Tessa Worley (France)and Manuela Moelgg (Italy). The following day, the slalom will be making its comeback on the Émile-Allais stadium. In 2010, 2011 and 2013, Courchevel crowds came out in force at the stadium, supporting the competitors and watching Austrian Marlies Schild race to World Cup victory.

To ensure the competition is a great success, Courchevel creates large-scale structures to welcome the athletes, journalists and members of the general public in the best possible conditions. The Alpinium building in Courchevel Le Praz will offer a comfortable, modern arrival area, as well as additional parking. The new layout of the Jockeys run will enable it to welcome the Men’s events (clearing the land, safety equipment, artificial snowmakers, new reservoir…) The World Championships in numbers 600 athletes 1,800 accredited journalists 75 nations More than 200,000 spectators 600 million viewers 1,000 hours of TV coverage PRESS CONTACTS - [email protected] Elodie Guignard : +33 (0) 6 45 46 65 16 - +33 (0) 4 79 08 89 30 / Florent HAZUCKA : +33 (0) 7 64 38 39 11 - +33 (0) 4 79 08 88 42 / Yue He Courchevel’s athletes This winter again, several athletes will be waving once the Courchevel flag around the globe, on the World Cup, European Cup and other national circuits. The following athletes will be at the starting gate in Sölden on the 27th and 28th of October: Alexis Pinturault • 3 Olympic medals • 1 World Championships medal • Team event world champion • 21 World Cup wins • 46 World Cup podium positions • 2 Alpine combined crystal globes Unchallenged leader of the French team, Alexis Pinturault has been a member of Courchevel’s Club des Sports since 1998. With 46 podium positions, including 21 World Cup wins, he holds the all-time French record for the highest number of World Cup wins, ahead of the renowned Jean-Claude Killy. Last winter, Alexis added to his achievements even further, with 2 new World Cup wins, in Val d’Isère and Bormio (Italy), as well as 2 new Olympic medals at the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang (South Korea) bronze in giant slalom and silver in super-combined. This season, local boy Alexis, whose father owns the 5 star Annapurna hotel, hopes to be in the lead again, competing for the crystal globe and a medal at the World Championships in Åre, Sweden.

Her good overall performance and world champion team event win in 2011 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany) should stand her in good stead for the competition. After several seasons being written off due to injury, meaning she couldn’t show off her true potential, Taïna is ready to take this season by storm. Doriane Escané • 1 World Cup start • 18 European Cup starts • French giant slalom champion 2018 (under 21s) After a great start to the World Cup in the giant slalom event at Kranjska Gora (Slovenia) last winter, Doriane is hoping to get a few points under her belt and gain a World Cup position this season.

Last winter, after a hard start to the season, multi-talented Anne-Sophie decided to focus on speed events. This was a wise move, leading her to gain her first World Cup points, putting her in 24th position in Super G in Cortina d’Ampezzo (Italy). A few days later, she came 7th in alpine combined in Lenzerheide (Switzerland). Thanks to her performance, she qualified for her 4th Olympic Games. Sadly, fate had other ideas, as she was injured during the warm-ups and had to withdraw from the competition. This season, Anne-Sophie aims to put last winter’s great achievements to good use, reaching for the summits again.

Andorra has demonstrated that it is fully prepared to host events of a large international scale and the top management of the International Ski Federation (FIS) has witnessed this first hand. The love story with the Principality started to take shape twelve years ago when the first steps were taken to organise the World Cup here, resulting in Soldeu 2012 women’s events, as the World Cup director for men’s races, ​ Markus Waldner, recalls. The relationship was consolidated with the competitions in 2016 ​ and has grown stronger during the Finals held this week in Soldeu el Tarter de Grandvalira. ​ ​ And it seems very likely that the relationship will last for many years to come: “We’ve put ​ the ball in your court,” said Secretary General of the FIS, Sarah Lewis, who believes that ​ Andorra is prepared for them to “be back as soon as possible,” after hosting Finals that she described as “excellent”.

  • Media Release 15/01/2019
    MEDIA RELEASE 15/01/2019 Mikaela Shiffrin (USA) wins the SkiWorldCup Kronplatz and is crowned “Princess of the Erta”. Italy’s Marta Bassino finishes third. With a brilliant first run performance Mikaela Shiffrin beats Tessa Worley (FRA) by 1''39, laying the foundation for an astonishing victory in the second run. Italy’s Marta Bassino catches up to an amazing third place, equalling her result of 2017. First edition’s winner Federica Brignone finishes 6th. A crowd of 15.000 attended the race in San Vigilio di Marebbe-Kronplatz with great enthusiasm, enjoying a great show on a perfect track under a sunny sky. Mikaela Shiffrin’s first run was one to be remembered, with the current World Cup leader dominating thanks to a flawless performance with bib 5. None of her rivals manage to keep up: Tessa Worley (FRA), who finished 2nd on the Erta race of 2017, is beaten by 1''39, followed by a very strong Petra Vlhova of Slovakia by 1''42. The very first “Princess of the Erta” Federica Brignone, who also finished third last year, was not able to turn her bib 1 into gold this year finishing 6th by 1''61. The previous snowfalls might have had an impact on her race. Marta Bassino’s results after the first run were more promising. After her third place in 2017, she finished 4th by 1''47, with no limits for further improval in the second run. Francesca Marsaglia finishes 14th, local hero Karoline Pichler from Monte San Pietro also qualifies for the second run finishing 19th by a deficit of 3''15.

S využitím tradičního rčení lze takto výstižně a jednoduše charakterizovat sjezdařský Světový pohár 2011 ve Špindlerově Mlýně. Jaký tedy byl? Bez extrémních rozmarů počasí a dokonce i se sluníčkem v průběhu sobotního slalomového klání, s vý- bornou závodní pistou, s nad očekávání početnou a skvěle fandící diváckou kulisou, s kvalitní organizací a především – s úžasnými sportovními výkony na Černé sjezdovce včetně dramatického souboje Riesch-Vonn o Velký křišťálový glóbus a včetně velmi příjemného českého překvapení v podobě svěťákových bodů Kateřiny Pauláthové. Pořadatelský tým se do přípravy krkonošské zastávky „bílého cirkusu“ pustil v hodně podobné sestavě, jež se podílela na realizaci předchozích Světových pohárů ve Svatém Petru. To byl jeden klíčový fakt. Tím druhým byla skutečnost, že organizátoři rozhodně neusnuli na vavřínech – ba naopak – jejich snahou bylo posunout pomyslnou laťku úspěšného zvládnutí svěťáku zase o nějaký ten kousek výše. Zkušenosti načerpané z let 2003, 2005 a 2008 vedly v kombinaci s do- statečnou dávkou pokory a cílevědomosti k výsledku, který zařadil Špindl k nejpozitivněji hodnoceným Světovým pohá- rům sezóny 2010/2011.

And it suddenly stops raining and even snowing in Bormio! It looks like the weather too wants to celebrate the triumph of this amazing eighteen years old girl from Colorado. Tomorrow the weather conditions will be good and the men's World Cup slalom on the Stelvio is going to regularly take place at 14.45pm (1st run) and 6.10pm (2nd run). The three ladies of today's slalom spoke during the press conference at the Bormio, via Roma press office. These are the official quotes of the three champions: MIKAELA SHIFFRIN (Usa) – First place in Bormio "It 's been a battle, but I was ready. I have improved a lot in the past three weeks and today I felt strong, but I think I can still improve during the rest of the season. The skis were so good today and I was ready to go fast. It was an exciting battle with Marlies Schild when in Lienz. The most important thing is to work the hardest possible and ski better and better. I am so happy with my results so far in this season. I had never skied in Bormio before but I remember when I watched my idol Janica Kostelic on TV in 2005.
