3-tre race
The 3-Tre races are international alpine ski races for men that have been held in the Italian province of Trentino since 1950 .
The name 3Tre (pronounced Tre-Tre , Italian for three three or "3 Trentino") was created because these races initially took place at 3 locations in Tre ntino. These places were Fai della Paganella , Serrada di Folgaria and Monte Bondone . In 1952 the races took place in San Martino di Castrozza , then Canazei and the Marmolada alternated until 1957 the 3-Tre races were held for the first time in Madonna di Campiglio , where they still take place today. Only once again, in 1961, were the races held in Canazei. Twice at the beginning of the 1970s and in the 1983/1984 season there was a cooperation with Val Gardena , where individual competitions of the 3-tre races were held instead of Madonna di Campiglio. The date of the 3-tre races was different in the first decades (January to March), since the winter of 1972/1973 it has always been in December. In the 3-Tre races, all disciplines were driven until the mid-1980s ( downhill , giant slalom , slalom , most recently also the Super-G , as well as a combined ranking for the overall victory), although not every discipline was held every year. Instead of the descent, a second giant slalom was held several times. Since the 1985/1986 season, they have only consisted of a slalom, which is driven on the Canalone Miramonti slope in Madonna di Campiglio.
In February 1967, the slalom was the first 3-Tre competition to be part of the new World Cup that was introduced that year . Before that, the 3-Tre races were held in some years as FIS-IA races - the highest racing class at the time - and in other years as FIS-IB races - the second highest racing class. From the winter of 1969/1970, with the exception of the combination, all competitions of the 3-tre races were part of the World Cup, the combination was not added until 1982/1983. However, from 1979/1980 onwards there were already combined scores of the 3-tre slalom and giant slalom with the descent from Val Gardena . After the 3-Tre races from 1985/1986 had only been held as World Cup slalom - initially annually, then every two years - there were initially no more races from the 2006/2007 season. After a three-year break, the 3-Tre races took place for three years from 2009/2010 as a European Cup race until a World Cup slalom was held again in December 2012, for the first time in seven years. The record winner of the 3-tre races is by a clear margin the Swede Ingemar Stenmark , who celebrated twelve victories from December 1974 to December 1983 (nine of them in World Cup races).

From 1969/1970 the 3-tre races in Madonna di Campiglio were an integral part of the World Cup. The combination scores only counted for the World Cup from 1983/1984, but in previous years there were already combinations of the 3-tre slalom or giant slalom with the downhill run from Val Gardena . In the winter of 1972/1973 the date of the 3-tre races was changed. While they usually took place in the second half of the season before, they have always been held in December since then.

Since December 1985, the 3-Tre races have only consisted of the slalom in Madonna di Campiglio, which until December 1996 - apart from weather-related cancellations - was held annually as a World Cup race. After a two-year break and the installation of a floodlight system on the Canalone Miramonti , the World Cup slalom took place every two years from December 1999 to December 2005, with an additional 3-tre slalom in December 2000, as Madonna di Campiglio had jumped in as a substitute for Kranjska Gora . From December 2006, there were no 3-tre races for three years, after which European Cup slaloms were held from December 2009 to December 2011. In December 2012 there was a World Cup slalom in Madonna di Campiglio for the first time in seven years, which is now to be held every two years. European Cup races are planned for December 2013, in which there will be a super-G and a downhill in addition to the slalom.

The record winner in the 3-tre races is the Swede Ingemar Stenmark , who celebrated twelve victories from December 1974 to December 1983. In second place is the Italian Gustav Thöni with five wins. The Austrians Heinrich Messner , Josef Rieder and Karl Schranz each achieved four victories .
If you only take into account the World Cup races, Ingemar Stenmark also leads with nine wins (one of which is only a parallel slalom belonging to the Nations Cup). Behind them come the Italians Gustav Thöni and Alberto Tomba with three World Cup victories each. Piero Gros , Finn Christian Jagge , Andreas Wenzel , Daniel Yule and Pirmin Zurbriggen each won two World Cup races .
