ÖSV nine-fold victory on the Patscherkofel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On December 21, 1998 , the ÖSV men's ski team won the Super-G of the Alpine Ski World Cup on Patscherkofel in Innsbruck - Igls by taking the first nine places. Neither before nor after was a ski team able to achieve such success.

Starting position

The Super-G was originally supposed to take place at Whistler Mountain . Because of its proximity to the PacificHowever, there is often bad weather there in December, which is why the race had to be canceled. Since this was also the case in the two years before, Whistler Mountain was completely removed from the calendar of events of the Alpine Skiing World Cup after 1998 and should not return until 2008. As a replacement race, the Super-G was inserted on Patscherkofel. However, for a long time it looked as if this race would also be canceled due to heavy fog. However, the ÖSV tried to ensure that the race could take place, relying on a weather forecast that predicted a useful weather situation shortly after noon. When this arrived, the race took place with a little delay.

Winning photo

The Austrians, the dominant nation in alpine skiing at the end of the 1990s, had already occupied the first eight places when Fritz Strobl with starting number 45 was third. Since no one had expected that, the photographers had all taken the sensational winner's photo with the top eight. When Fritz Strobl crossed the finish line, Werner Franz (9th place in the final ranking) had already left due to a severe cold. For this reason it was not possible to take an official winning photo at the time that showed all nine Austrians at the same time. Only ten years later, on December 21, 2008, this winning photo was reproduced as part of an anniversary celebration on Patscherkofel.
