The 21st Alpine World Ski Championships took place from February 7th to 15th, 1970 in Val Gardena , Italy . It was the only world championship whose results were included in the Alpine Ski World Cup . The most successful nation was France, which won three of the eight gold medals as well as five silver medals and one bronze medal.

Choice of venue

At the 26th FIS Congress in Beirut on May 20, 1967, Val Gardena was chosen, whereby 31 votes were won in the first ballot - Banff received 11, Jackson Hole 10, Davos 7, Garmisch-Partenkirchen 7 (the Germans then withdrew ); Naeba with 4 and the Tyrolean town of Kitzbühel with 3 were eliminated. In the second ballot, 39 votes (absolute majority) were cast for Val Gardena, Banff got 13, Davos 11 and Jackson Hole 10.
From Austria, St. Anton am Arlberg had also announced its candidacy for the time being ; even Schruns-Tschagguns had been in conversation.

preview

In a preview in its issue no. 15 from February 6th on pages 1 to 3, »Sport Zürich« named the gold medal winners or “super favorites” with (in the order downhill, giant slalom, slalom) Karl Schranz and Isabelle Mir, Gustav Thöni and Michéle Jacot as well as Patrick Russel and Ingrid Lafforgue. It was admitted, however, that the course of the season with the constant change of winners for the men clearly demonstrated how quickly the scales of success can tilt.

As far as the individual nations were concerned, the Swiss men's team was warned against excessive optimism. The form structure was right, a particular trump card could be experience (on average the SSV drivers were the oldest) - in the long term, experience capital should be gathered with the young drivers for Sapporo. The only chance for the women was seen in Annerösli Zryd in the downhill, anything else would amount to a sensation.

The DSV representation could have low hopes. Only Rosi Mittermaier was able to confirm himself internationally, while the other good placements (Hansjörg Schlager, Christian Neureuther and Traudl Treichl) were probably of national importance, but were quite harmless internationally. However, Franz Vogler was able to register a top form in the last phase of the "pre-world championship period" that surpassed that of Portillo in 1966. All other hopes of the gentlemen could really only be expressed in a low voice. Margarethe Hafen has changed to great versatility for women, and the world championships come a year too early for Treichl.

The Austrian hopes for men had improved compared to the beginning of the season, but only Karl Schranz would be eligible for one, maybe two gold medals. The giant slalom course should suit him. The slalom artists have no chance, this also applies to the women, where one could only hope for good places. This was also due to the fact that Gertrud Gabl was not in shape, which also applied to Olga Pall. Wiltrud Drexel was favored in the descent. In the giant slalom, Pröll and Bernadette Rauter should do well.

The French women's team, in particular, was an exceptional favorite, but a lot was expected of the men too. The only restrictions were that it was the first world championships for Jacot and Ingrid Lafforgue and Henri Duvillard no longer had the very best performances in the downhill sections. In contrast, Russel and Augert did what was expected of them in the slalom.

The Italian federation could only hope for Gustav Thöni, whom they had barely known a year ago, but who now also felt the responsibility. Eberhard Schmalzl had done well recently, but the handicap came to high starting numbers, Helmuth Schmalzl had not achieved a corresponding result since rank 10 in the dress rehearsal in 1969. Claudio Detassis was out after breaking his leg while training in Cervinia. There was also an injured woman with Giustiana Demetz. Clotilde Fasolis had owed everything since last year's success at the “Coppa Femina” in Abetone.

Worth mentioning

• The opening took place at 5 p.m. on February 7th in the ice rink in Ortisei with FISI President Fabio Conci, FIS President Marc Hodler and the Italian Minister of Tourism Giovanni Battista Scaglia .

President Hodler gave his speech in four languages ​​and, in his French version, dealt with the announced slalom strike with one swipe and thanked the Assen for having participated. The stadium was closed prematurely by the Carabinieri, Austria's Minister of Education Dr. Alois Mock was then allowed in, but neither could he go into the official gallery, nor could the late Japanese delegation. The entire ceremony was completed in 30 minutes. The Austrian selection was hidden on television. When the nations marched in, the camera swiveled to the jet fighters visible in the sky, and the teams from Finland and Japan were not shown either. And when marching off, there was another switch when (according to the Belgian selection) the Austrians should have come into the picture. - Nevertheless, it was curious that at the end of the ceremony the Alpini played the Radetzky March , a battle song of the old Austrian monarchy, so to speak.

• There were 254 active participants (176 men / 88 women), but 350 journalists and several hundred radio and television people registered separately.
• Surprisingly, the French selection agent René Sulpice did not nominate a combiner for the men's area; the Henri Duvillard in question was not set up for the slalom.
• One day before the starting competition, the men's slalom, another qualification slalom was held (as had been the norm since 1962) - and this was again quite controversial. On February 6th, 25 drivers of the first two slalom groups threatened a strike in a letter to FIS President Hodler written by Patrick Russel and signed by all French, Austrian and Swiss drivers. The SSV team leaders had initially declared the signatures a private matter, but in retrospect threatened the toughest sanctions for those who would not start. Afterwards it was also stated that the Swiss had made their signatures by mistake . The Swiss Karl Molitor , who was assigned to both the qualifying and the final slalom, threatened to leave immediately if the top riders refused to start because he would not be fooled.
• In the men's slalom itself, no runner from the ÖSV was included in the ranking. Only three men started (after Herbert Huber couldn't start due to a nervous breakdown), the remaining trio dropped out due to a fall or disqualification. As a result, it was already clear that the ÖSV starters could not achieve a placement in the alpine triple combination.
  The medal decision in the aforementioned slalom was also extremely close.
• One of the big favorites, local hero Gustav Thöni , remained without a medal: In slalom he placed fourth, in giant slalom he was eliminated in the first round.
• Of the world and / or Olympic champions in 1968, only Olga Pall was still at the start - the remaining three (because Jean-Claude Killy was a four-time gold medalist and Nancy Greene had also won two titles) all ended their careers in 1968.
• With combination gold from Billy Kidd , an American won a gold medal in alpine skiing for the first time. For Australia, the bronze medal in the descent by Malcolm Milne was the first ever medal at the Alpine World Ski Championships and remained the only one until Zali Steggall's gold medal in the 1999 slalom.
• The first medal handover took place on the evening of February 11th, which was carried out in the order of the men's slalom, men's giant slalom and women's downhill competition.

Evaluation of results with technical innovations

The results service was carried out by a German company ( Siemens ), and initial experience was gained here in Val Gardena. The term electronic data processing was not new, but the evaluation system had been expanded - it was said to be unique that it was not carried out at the location of the event, but in Munich , 280 km north. Via lines that were kept open at all times, the time of a driver was automatically passed on to Munich as soon as he or she interrupted the photo cell at the destination, where a computer first checked the information, classified the driver and the adjusted result was returned to Val Gardena in a split second, where it appeared on television monitors or was written on a high-speed printer, with the respective combination points being shown. A special quality was required for this printer paper.

Statement by FIS President Marc Hodler

In an interim report on the World Championships, FIS President Marc Hodler stated that the combination formula should be checked so that it does not degenerate into any comfort for the less successful drivers. A separate combination slalom like 1948 could be a solution. The question of restricting or expanding the number of participants can never be properly resolved, since the Olympic Games must also be considered. Skiing is the only sport in which four people per discipline are allowed to participate in the Olympics. The team leaders expressed the wish to forego the World Cup in the world championship years, as this would impair the structure of the teams and make it difficult to adjust to a goal and a climax. In the future, the loading options for "A races" should be restricted (lowering of the quotas), with which the "B races" should be upgraded. The attempt to introduce professional skiing has not yet succeeded, the chance in life does not seem very great, although the FIS would not be reluctant to see a regulated professional sport as a difference to amateur sport (a kind of alibi to the IOC ). The growth in advertising is frightening, but it should not be forgotten that of all industries - with the exception of IT - the ski industry has seen the largest growth rate recently. The problem of security is new. Should artificial structures be erected, like in bobsleigh races, in order to be able to catch the “projectile”, which represents a falling driver on the piste, inside the piste? The FIS will have to come up with a completely new concept. Ultimately, he sees it as a goal to appoint chief officials or commissioners who are paid by the FIS, which could also be financed by the TV revenues that the FIS receives.

World Champion 1968: Jean-Claude Killy (FRA) (career ended)
Date : February 15, 12:00 noon
Slope: Saslonch in St. Christina / Santa Cristina Valgardena
Length: 3750 m, difference in altitude: 830 m
Goals: 25

91 runners started, 82 of them reached the finish.

Retired u. a .: Stefano Anzi (ITA) (disqualification)
not started due to injury: Franz Vogler (FRG)

During downhill training on February 12, Franz Vogler cut his knee with the edge of the ski when he fell in the first “S” after he had loosened the binding of a ski and suffered a nasty flesh wound that had to be sewn. Dumeng Giovanoli's old knee injury made itself felt (he couldn't start) after a powerful jump, which he did not fall. Bob Cochran fell victim to the changing light conditions, flew in a high arc over the fence, but was able to crawl back unharmed. Henri Duvillard's head got stuck in the fence and was unable to free himself; when he fell he had punched through the fence with full force.

Because of the fresh snow that had fallen overnight, the route was 17 seconds slower than in last year's World Cup race, when Datwyler won in 2: 07.75. As a result, the front starting numbers (Orcel 1, Sprecher 2, Cordin 3, Dätwyler 4, Schranz 6) were a bit disadvantaged and this was one of the reasons why Bernhard Russi won with No. 15, the last starting number of the elite runners. After Datwyler's drive, which was flawless, the Swiss team leadership noticed that he had lost to Cordin by less than 3 seconds. So the order came to scrape off the surface (except for a little) for Russi and Bruggmann, but afterwards it was found that the entire surface had been removed (perhaps due to a hearing defect). With regard to Russi, it was analyzed that he was leading by 0.12 s ahead of Varallo and 0.16 s on Cordin in the first split, while Cordin was 0.37 s faster than Russi at the second split. Decisive were the last 700 meters, where a slight mistake Cordins (he had to open wide, which was time consuming) had an effect. With Varallo and Kidd (No. 23 and 13 together at rank 5), Anders Hansson, SWE (No. 41 at 9), Jon-Torje Overland, NOR (No. 18 at 10), Rudd Pyles, USA (17 at 11), Bruggmann (24 to 12), Håker (58 to 13). For the French team, Pinel saved a little bit with rank 8 (start number 5), on the other hand, Duvillards rank 25 (start number 10; lag 5.23 s) was also a disappointment, rank 37 for Bernard Orcel (but no . 1, + 6.94 s); Patrick Russel was also surprisingly nominated, who achieved a time of 2: 33.64 in 43rd place.

Retired u. a .: Wiltrud Drexel (AUT), Divina Galica (GBR), Françoise Macchi (FRA), Judy Nagel (USA)

The first starting numbers (No. 1 Olga Pall, No. 2 Jacot) were slightly at a disadvantage due to the freshly fallen snow, but Zryd (No. 5) was obviously the one with the only technically serious difficulty, an S-curve at the forest entrance , coped best and won the decisive time there. Ingrid Gfölner, who had been preferred to Bernie Rauter, justified her nomination for the Austrians. With No. 31 Margarete Hafen was 7th.

Clifford already started with No. 2 after Annerösli Zryd had opened, but after a gate carambolage, according to which she wanted to adjust her glasses, she passed the next gate. Rosi Mittermaier (No. 6) was the first runner of the DSV , Gertrud Gabl (No. 7) then that of the ÖSV . Clifford had slipped on the icy rock steps about 20 minutes before the start after getting out of the cable car station at Ciampinoi and fell over a rocky slope, probably still dazed, she fell twice on the way to the start. In the upper third, she only had the tenth best time. Gina Hathorn missed the possible bronze medal in the penultimate goal due to an edge error.
