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.

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.

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.

  • 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. It was at the same German course last month that he wiped out in a twisting fall. “I was lucky to walk away with fairly minor injuries,” said Guay, competing at his seventh worlds. “I can see (the crash) on TV no problem, but in my head I can’t really remember going off the jump and having that fear.” There were more jumps to handle Wednesday on a hill that launched racers airborne, testing their balance and ability to improvise through an unfamiliar gate-setting.

GRP: Glass fiber Reinforced Polymer shell (GRP) provides a strong and lightweight shell with excellent impact performance. The GRP shells are laid up with several different pre-preg materials and cured with high temperature and pressure to create a high quality shell without weak spots. The rigidity and elasticity varies throughout the shell surface. IMPACT SHIELDS: Helmets with Impact Shields feature a molded shock absorbing EPS liner with Impact Shield inserts that provide unsurpassed performance for shock absorbance. This is a premium impact protection technology. It distributes impacts from the inside of the helmet over larger areas in the crucial front and back zones where your head needs it.
