IPC WORLDCUP SCHEDULE the Ski Club Oberried Hosted the Two Recent World Cup Events of the IPC Before the Paralympics 2018 IPC WORLD CUP CROSS COUNTRY AND BIATHLON | OBERRIED 2018 Trailer IPC World Cup 2018 ☛ www.weltcup-oberried.de INFORMATION ON IPC WORLD CUP 2018 IPC NORDIC SKIING OBERRIED THE EVENT THE EVENT In succession of the World Cups in 2001, 2010 and 2014, the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has now commissioned the Ski Club Oberried to host a biathlon World Cup for the fourth time. The event is scheduled for January 2018 at the Nordic Center Notschrei. In the run-up to the Paralympics, which will be held in 2018 like the Olympic Games in Pyongyang, athletes want to qualify for good results for the Paralympics. In addition to European teams, the starter field also includes participants from the USA, Australia and Asia. Wheelchair users in the ski area, visually impaired athletes with accompanying athletes as well as athletes with physical limitations on arms or legs show outstanding athletic performances at the Nordic-Center Notschrei facility in Freiburg. In total the Ski Club Oberried again expects about 250 participants from 20 nations at the World Cup in the Black Forest. The media interest in the 2014 event was very large. For example, the ZDF used the only Biathlon World Cup in disability sport in Germany to produce extensive footage, which was then used in the coverage of the Paralympic Games in Sochi. In 2018 the World Cup in Oberried will also be the only biathlon event in the field of disabled sport in Germany. 3 IPC WORLDCUP SCHEDULE The Ski Club Oberried hosted the two recent World Cup events of the IPC before the Paralympics 2018 CROSS COUNTRY BIATHLON 19.01.2018 FRIDAY 24.01.2018 WEDNESDAY Official Training Official Training 20.01.2018 SATURDAY 25.01.2018 THURSDAY Cross country (middle distance) Biathlon (short distance) 21.01.2018 SUNDAY 26.01.2018 FRIDAY Cross country (long distance) Official Training 22.01.2018 MONDAY 27.01.2018 SATURDAY Opening and Biathlon (long distance) first award ceremony 23.01.2018 TUESDAY 28.01.2018 SUNDAY Cross country (sprint) Biathlon (middle distance) And award ceremony 4 Media Presence Retrospective IPC World Cup 2014 TELEVISION Official Training ZDF: Reports in the Sport-Reportage on 1.3.2014 and 2.3.2014 ARD: In the context of Olympic coverage: Report on the competitions and German starters 1.

Besides Alpine and Nordic Sports, walking, hiking and mountain biking belongs to the program. In 2006 the club was awarded the Josef Ertl Award by the German Ski Association for its outstanding youth work. Around 40 skiing instructors and trainers take care of the implementation of the events of the association. The club conducted parasport events for the first time in 1995 – the connection was created by Roland Gäss at that time active member of the national disabled team. But also, long after the end of his active career, the Ski Club Oberried committed in disabled sports, allowing the carrying out of international sporting events in the black forest. Oberried is located in the south of the Dreisamtal, a few kilometers east of Freiburg. With Feldberg, Belchen and Schauinsland, the highest mountains of the Southern Black Forest are directly adjacent. 2,900 people live in Oberried, the territory covers an area of 6,632 ha and 450 to 1,430 meters above sea level. Tourism and agriculture are important economic sectors of the community, a large number of small crafts and service companies characterize the local image and ensure a ROLAND GÄSS good infrastructure.

In the course of the 2010 Junior World Cup, the Biathlon facility was extensively modernized. The result is a center for Nordic skiing, which, thanks to its topographic location and artificial snow-making, ensures high snow safety and offers the best conditions for a professional training and competition Freiburg operation.

Since the establishment of the OSP in 1988, athletes of the Paralympic disciplines cross country and Biathlon that are located in this area have been included in this promotion. Due to the successful concentration of the squad athletes of the German Disabled Sports Association (DBS) at the Olympic Sports Center Freiburg-Schwarzwald, the location was recognized as a Paralympic training camp of the DBS in 2011 using both the training center and other facilities at the OSP in Freiburg and the Nordic Center Notschrei. In addition to the sporting support provided by highly qualified trainers and supervisors, the OSP supports the squad members of the DBS in a variety of ways. Besides the support of trainers, sports physicians, physiotherapists, nutrition consultants and sports psychologists, the best possible educational and professional support for the athletes with the aim of a successful dual career is also provided. At the beginning of the 2015/2016 school year, for the first time, two DBS junior athletes will benefit from the inclusion in the sports center, a comprehensive support by the OSP and good training conditions all year round at the Nordic Center Notschrei. With the installation of a large training and diagnostic exercise in August 2015, trainers and athletes from the German Disability Sport Association have been able to find even more improved conditions for the year-long technique and perpetual training, as well as biomechanical and performance-diagnostic examinations of the cross-country skiers and biathletes. At the athletic athletes‘ athletic athletes who have already been planned for the Freiburg-based athletic athletics facility, they are almost perfect conditions for a successful sporting development. 8 PARALYMPIC MOTION The sport has the power to change the world. He has the power to connect people (Nelson Mandela) - just like nothing else. Integration and inclusion are becoming more and more important in our society - both of which greatly increase the quality of life of people with disabilities. With their achievements, the athletes demonstrate impressively, to which outstanding abilities humans with disability are capable. With their performance and the sporting successes, they serve as a model for many. „Spirit in Motion“ is the motto of the International Paralympic Committee. The vision of the IPC is to enable handicapped athletes to perform top athletic performances and to inspire the world. The IPC is one of the largest sports organizations in the world. Established in 1989, the IPC is still a dynamic emerging organization comprising over 160 national Paralympic committees and five international disability sport organizations. The IPC organizes the Paralympic Summer and Winter Games as well as the World Championships and Regional Championships in 13 sports. The area of Nordic ski sport is one of four areas of winter sports in addition to the 21 summer sports. Since 1992, the Paralympics have always been held at the place where the games of non-disabled athletes take place. The public perception and appreciation of the services has once again significantly improved. 9 CONTACT PERSONS Club Chairman SCO Sponsoring Michael Martin Clemens Löffler Im Grün 4 Vörlinsbachstraße 19c 79254 Oberried 79254 Oberried Tel.: 07602-920027 Tel.: 0175-1860631 E-Mail: [email protected] E-Mail: www.skiclub-oberried.de [email protected] Competition Management Bernhard Hug Roland Gäss Am Bach 2 Ringstraße 37 79254 Oberried 79199 Kirchzarten Tel.: 07661-938353 Tel.: 07661-2489 Fax: 07661-938373 E-Mail: [email protected] 10 E-Mail: [email protected] IMPRESSIONS Clemens Löffler Vörlinsbachstraße 19c 79254 Oberried Tel.: 0175-1860631 E-Mail: [email protected] Roland Gäss Ringstraße 37 79199 Kirchzarten Tel.: 07661-2489 E-Mail: [email protected] 11 Imprint: Responsible for the content: Skiclub Oberried e.V.

    Dirk Scheumann & Marco Rues Snowparks New Winter Sports Facilities Dirk Scheumann & Marco Rues Snowparks New Winter Sports Facilities Bibliographic information of the Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (German National Library) The Deutsche Nationalbibliothek lists this publication in the Deutsche Na- tionalbibliografie; detailed bibliographic data are available on the Internet at http://dnb.d-nb.de. Imprint Editor Federal Institute of Sport Science Graurheindorfer Straße 198 · 53117 Bonn [email protected] www.bisp.de As of July 2017 Layout Andrea Willems 3 Foreword Freestyle skiing and snowboarding are gaining popularity in winter sports resorts around the world. Competitive sport structures have now been established for these new sports, paving the way for freestyle skiing and snowboarding to become part of the Olympic Winter Games. Functional needs-based sports facilities are a prerequisite for a successful commitment to compe- titive sports. The mere presence of attractive sports facilities encourages people to take up sporting activities – the basic prerequisite for a competitive sports culture in the future. The absence of such sports facilities rules out successful participation in top-class sports at international level. In snow- boarding and skiing, the validity of this premise has been demonstrated by the performance of Ger- man athletes in the new Olympic winter sports, such as halfpipe riding, slopestyle and cross. At the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi 2014, 20 competitions (of 98 in total) were carried out in freestyle skiing and snowboarding. German athletes failed to win any medals. The poor performance can also be attributed to the fact that the infrastructure in Germany is inadequate compared to countries that are successful at a global scale, such as the USA, France, Canada and Scandinavia.
