Ledecká takes first alpine skiing World Cup victory Czech snowboard specialist beats odds to win on skis in Lake Louise downhill. A shock Super-G Olympic champion in Pyeongchang in 2018, Ester Ledecká proved she's far more than a one-hit wonder when she dominated the first downhill of the 2019-2020 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup in Lake Louise, Canada on Friday. The Czech snowboard specialist made the best of the tricky weather conditions to win ahead of the last two world championship downhill silver medallists, Corinne Suter of Switzerland and Austria’s Stephanie Venier. Here is all you need to know: - Starting with bib 26, Ledecká won in 1:31.87, beating 2019 world championship runner-up Corinne Suter by 0.35s. Austria’s Stephanie Venier, second in the 2017 downhill worlds, was third, 0.45s behind. - Ledecká, winner of 16 snowboard World Cup races and twice a snowboard world champion, shocked the alpine skiing world at the 2018 Olympics when she won the Super-G gold medal ahead of all the favourites. She also won the snowboard parallel slalom Olympic title, becoming the first athlete crowned in both alpine ski and snowboard events. - The 24-year-old Prague native’s previous best alpine skiing World Cup result was seventh in a downhill on the same course two years ago. - Ledecká is also the first Czech skier to win a World Cup downhill. Czechoslovakia’s Jana Soltysova won a downhill in Altenmarkt in 1980, but she was born in Slovakia. - Winner of the Lake Louise downhill two years ago, American Mikaela Shiffrin was 10thand took her lead in the overall World Cup standings to 366 points, ahead of Switzerland’s Michelle Gisin on 160. - The race was twice delayed by bad weather conditions but was finally able to go ahead. - The World Cup programme in Lake Louise continues with another downhill on Saturday and a Super-G on Sunday.

The FIS Praises the “Excellent” Standards of the Finals and Commits to Bringing the World Cup Back to Andorra
PRESS RELEASE The FIS praises the “excellent” standards of the Finals and commits to bringing the World Cup back to Andorra “Now the ball’s in your court, be prepared because we’ll be back as soon as possible,” the secretary of the association confirmed They are going look for a “solution” to find a slot in their agenda so that the Avet slope can host a men’s event in the next few years Shiffrin and Hirscher have been crowned the stars of the 2019 Andorra Finals, which have brought together almost 25,000 people over the course of the week Andorra la Vella, 17 March 2019. 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”.

Olympiasiegerin Michelle Gisin: «Was Mache Ich Eigentlich Da?»
Olympiasiegerin Michelle Gisin: «Was mache ich eigentlich da?» 16.11.2018 ‑ 00:00, Bruno Bötschi Michelle Gisin über ihre Leidenschaft: «Ich fahre nicht Skirennen, weil ich möglichst viel Geld verdienen will. Ich fahre Ski, weil mich das glücklich macht. Weil ich den Skisport extrem liebe.» Bild: Keystone Olympiasiegerin Michelle Gisin erzählt im Interview von ihrem Umgang mit der Angst während eines Abfahrtsrennens. Sie sagt überdies, warum ihr der Umweltschutz am Herz liegt – und klärt über ihren Lieblingsmann auf. Eigentlich hätte Michelle Gisin an diesem Nachmittag im Engadin trainieren sollen. Aber das Wetter machte dem Schweizer Skiteam einen Strich durch die Rechnung. Stattdessen sitzt die Kombinations‑ Olympiasiegerin jetzt mit dem «Bluewin»‑Journalisten in einer Beiz in ihrem Heimatort Engelberg. Gisin hat ein verrückt erfolgreiches Jahr hinter sich: Vier Jahre nach ihrer Schwester Dominique gewann auch sie an Olympischen Spielen eine Goldmedaille. Wer mit Michelle Gisin dieser Tage spricht, spürt, dass es noch etwas Zeit braucht, bis sie ihren Olympiasieg richtig einordnen kann. Es ist aber auch zu spüren: Diese Frau ist bereit für mehr. Viel mehr. Wenn nicht schon in diesem Winter, so will sie spätestens im nächsten um den Gesamtweltcup ein Wörtchen mitreden. Und das mit dem Reden ist durchaus wortwörtlich gemeint: Die 24‑jährige Sportlerin redet gern. Es sprudelt geradezu aus ihr heraus. Frau Gisin, wir machen heute ein Frage‑Antwort‑Spiel: Ich stelle Ihnen in der nächsten 30 Minuten möglichst viele Fragen – und Sie antworten möglichst schnell und spontan. Passt Ihnen eine Frage nicht, sagen Sie einfach «weiter». Das schaffen wir. Hunde oder Katze? Katze. Definitiv. Ich bin nicht sicher, ob die Hunde mehr Angst vor mir haben oder ich vor ihnen.

Sci Ismaele Le marche più famose di sci Atomic Head Fischer Rossignol Volkl In Valtellina ● Spalding ● Blossom Lo sci è probabilmente il più antico mezzo inventato dall'uomo per La storia muoversi. Essendo molto facile da realizzare lo sci si è diffuso in tutto il mondo fino a diventare uno degli sport invernali più conosciuti. Alcune forme molto antiche di sci sono state infatti ritrovate in Siberia e in Svezia. Per costruirli, l’uomo primitivo ha probabilmente preso dei pezzetti di legno, li ha messi sotto i piedi e ha iniziato a scivolare sulla neve...Si pensa che lo sci sia infatti nato così.

Patrick Lang's Column NEWCOMERS DOMINATE FIRST WOMEN
Patrick Lang’s Column 19th January 2020 NEWCOMERS DOMINATE FIRST WOMEN PARALLEL GIANT SLALOM AT SESTRIERE. A numerous and happy crowd enjoyed another day of exciting ski racing at Sestriere this Sunday in occasion of the maiden giant slalom parallel race organized on the final part of the sunbathed G. Agnelli course. After a series of intense one-to-one battles France’s Clara Direz prevailed in the last final beating little-known Austrian Elisa Moerzinger while Marta Bassino was 3rd after beating her teammate Federica Brignone, one of the two winners in Saturday’s race. After a round of qualification hold in the early morning, 32 competitors fought for points and honor on the short course which turned out to be tougher than expected for some of the favorites as Slovakia’s Petra Vlhova or USA’s Mikaela Shiffrin, both on the podium in Saturday’s giant slalom race. They of them didn’t survive the first rounds allowing Italy’s giant slalom team to celebrate another nice result with three of them ending among the top-5 as Sofia Goggia came in 5th. Clara Direz, who celebrated her first top-10 finish last month at Lienz, eliminated Shiffrin in the 2nd round while Vlhova lost in her first round by 0,05 seconds to Switzerland Aline Danioth who unfortunately suffered a bad crash in her following round. Alice Robinson from New Zealand also fell in the first round of 32 as well as Germany’s Viktoria Rebensburg. The 25-year-old French racer, who has been racing since seven years on the World Cup tour, was able to score points in three different giant slalom races this season including on Saturday when she was 13th here.

Che aiuta i migranti, certo, ma come aiuta tutti. La nostra intervista al Vescovo di Bergamo, monsi- U gnor Francesco Beschi, ci permette di avere un punto di vista privilegiato su temi capitali di oggi. Come la tecnocrazia e il lavoro giovanile, e poi ancora la violenza, il terrorismo e i rapporti con l’Islam. «C'è un'ingiustizia diffusa - ci ha detto monsignor Beschi - che è spesso la prima causa delle guerre, del terrore, della violenza. Anche sulle nostre strade e tra le nostre case. Ci sono però nello stesso tempo dei “segni” che sono “semi” da coltivare. Il pontificato di Papa Francesco in questo orizzonte è una grande forza morale che viene offerta al mondo». E di forza morale, nella Bergamasca, ci sono molti fulgidi esempi. Le iniziative di solidarietà non si contano: ve ne raccontiamo alcune tra le più significative, come l'impegno di Amitiè Sans Frontiers, del Rotary Bergamo Sud, dell'Accademia dello Sport per la Solidarietà (che organizza il torneo di tennis tra vip e tornei di golf).

Lo Sci Alpino
LO SCI ALPINO Silvia Martinalli 1) Storia STORIA DELLO SCI Lo sci alpino in senso moderno iniziò a svilupparsi soltanto a partire dalla metà del XIX e nel 1896 un Austriaco introdusse un nuovo metodo per curvare che si avvicinava molto a quello dello sci moderno. Nel secondo dopoguerra lo sci alpino non è più solo un passatempo per gente di montagna o ricchi turisti ma diventa sport di massa grazie anche al nascere di stazioni sciistiche attrezzate con numerosi impianti di risalita. Lo sci alpino moderno si articola in 4 diverse discipline: discesa libera, super gigante, slalom gigante e slalom speciale. GARE ED EVOLUZIONE DELLA DISCIPLINA Le gare di sci erano assai diffuse già nel XIX secolo nei paesi scandinavi, ma si trattava principalmente di gare di sci nordico. A fine Ottocento sulle Alpi iniziarono a disputarsi le prime gare alpine, come la discesa del 1893 in Austria o la discesa organizzata in Germania dal Club della Foresta Nera, con un dislivello di 160 metri. Alla fine del XIX secolo e l'inizio del XX nacquero numerosi club e associazioni per la promozione dello sci soprattutto nei paesi alpini, in quelli scandinavi e nel Nord America; furono soprattutto gli inglesi a contribuire allo sviluppo delle gare di discesa, tipicamente alpine, snobbate per altro dagli scandinavi, appassionati di sci di fondo. 2) Gli sci Sci da discesa Per lo sci alpino, fino alla metà degli anni 90, gli sci erano lunghi e quasi dritti lateralmente (in realtà già avevano una leggera sciancratura). Oggi si usano sci sciancrati cioè dalla forma parabolica: stretti al centro e più larghi in punta e coda, sono i cosiddetti sci carving.
