The 19th Alpine World Ski Championships took place from August 5th to 14th, 1966 in Portillo , Chile . It was the only World Ski Championships in the southern hemisphere to date . The opening took place on August 4, 1966 by President Eduardo Frei Montalva (he had come by helicopter), FIS President Marc Hodler and the President of the Chilean Ski Association, Rainaldo Solari. Instead of the two German flags, two of Chile were waving in their place - and the jury had ordered that no national anthems be played at the awards ceremony. There were 160 participants from 22 nations.

Choice of venue

The award took place in May 1963 at the FIS Congress in Athens, against the votes of Germany , Austria and Switzerland . The place in the South American Cordilleras received a surprisingly clear vote of 43 votes, the Japanese Naeba received 20 and Davos 13 votes. The trend became visible that the delegates wanted to allow new places and countries, probably with the intention of promoting skiing in other regions and parts of the world. It was strange that the FIS had not even inspected this new venue.
With regard to the fact that by the end of 1964 no moving measures had been taken by the designated organizer , there were questions. In an interview with FIS President Marc Hodler , which the sports director of the “Linzer Volksblatt” had conducted, he explained that “Chile is not at all safe as a venue, Innsbruck, Cortina, Gastein or Chamonix (cities, where already all requirements are met), but a Japanese organizer is also in question. So far nothing has happened in Portillo because the presidential elections had been awaited there - there one had to know which government would have to be spoken to about the financial support. The FIS would inspect Portillo again in February and March 1965 ”.

World Championship trial race 1965

The World Championship trial races (men’s) planned for the third week of August 1965 had to be canceled; a severe avalanche disaster on August 11th disrupted transport links. The teams from the USA and Austria (with trainer Josef Stiegler ) already in Portillo were stuck and only came to Santiago after several days on foot, on skis on sledges, by train, bus and taxi. The discussions as to whether Portillo could remain the venue at all came to an end on September 25, 1965, when the FIS in Zurich confirmed this with a message that “the decision in favor of Portillo was almost unanimous”.

Preparations

• In response to rumors in a newspaper appearing in Vienna that the Austrian team would be absent from the World Championships due to lack of money, ÖSV President Andreas Steiner said that “this was never discussed in ÖSV circles. A participant will indeed cost 32,000 schillings (converted at 4,500 DM) so that the entire team, 22 people including coaches and officials will cost around 700,000 schillings (100,000 DM), but he is sure that the money will be raised by the responsible authorities. You will probably have to dig deeper into your pockets. The figures for Portillo could not be compared with those of 1962, when Chamonix and Zakopane combined only required 200,000 shillings. Austria could not afford to stay away for purely economic reasons (tourism and winter sports articles). "
• In a main committee meeting, the ÖSV decided in mid-February 1966 not to send a team to the races in the USA (March 14th to April 4th), because "with a view to the World Ski Championships this would be irresponsible to expose the runners to such great strains". The ÖSV thought a little differently, but it was decided to only take part in two competitions with 5 men and 4 women. Perhaps the courtesy of the US Ski Association had also contributed to the fact that they agreed to bear the full costs.
• For the time being it was not yet clear whether the men's “giants” world championship would already be racing in two races. The FIS Downhill Slalom Committee dealt with this on May 6, 1966 in Chamrousse.
• At the sports maintenance conference held on May 15, 1966 in St. Johann in Tirol , the Austrian Ski Association determined the final team: Werner Bleiner, Franz Digruber, Gerhard Nenning, Hugo Nindl, Heini Messner, Karl Schranz, Egon Zimmermann and Christl Haas, Traudl Hecher, Brigitte Seiwald, Erika Schinegger. Herbert Huber and Inge Jochum had dropped out and were only appointed as replacements; instead, Stefan Sodat, Grete Digruber and Heidi Zimmermann were reported (a contest vote resulted in 275 against 236 votes for these changes; the FIS groupings were decisive). Wolf Girardi was of the opinion that the association could also take the two eliminated with them if the Ministry of Education pays the costs. "The French reported 9 men and 7 women". The next day the Vorarlberg association president Oskar Brändle resigned in protest against the snub at Jochum. It also became known that rumors about the resignation of the men's coach Hans Senger were not true. Then the main committee of the ÖSV appealed to the provincial governments of Tyrol and Vorarlberg to raise the funds for the athletes who were not considered. Ultimately, Huber and Jochum were allowed to ride, because a so-called coordination committee for the dispatch of the alpine team gave the “green light” on June 6 in the “House of Sports” in Vienna.
• The German Ski Association announced its team on July 12, 1966: Burgl Färbering, Margarete Hafen, Heide Mittermaier, Christa Prinzing or Willy Bogner, Sepp Heckelmiller, Ludwig Leitner, Willi Lesch, Gerhard Prinzing, Franz Vogler.
• The Austrians prepared (with the participation of other nations) on the Stilfserjoch , whereby Brigitte Seiwald injured her ankle during training on June 24th and was taken to the Silandro hospital . The giant slalom on June 26th was won by Karl Schranz and Heidi Zimmermann.
  This preparation, which served to get used to the mountain air, was also a strain for the Austrian team, as the drivers had to get up at 3:30 a.m. to start training an hour later, otherwise the snow would have become too soft.
  Karl Schranz tore his humerus in a fall on July 3 and received a plaster of paris. Gerhard Nenning fell on the morning of July 4th and suffered a strain in the ligaments in his knee joint.
• In the preparatory races on July 2nd (giant slalom) in Val-d'Isère , which were referred to as the "Iseran Grand Prix", Christa Prinzing clearly won; Killy won both on July 2nd and 3rd (overall victory ahead of Périllat and Lacroix), while Florence Steurer prevailed on the second day and thus won the overall ranking ahead of Prinzing and Marielle Goitschel.
  The DSV announced its team list here in Val-d'Isère, although Heidi Biebl was absent (according to sports warden Fritz Wagnerberger, she “did not achieve the required standard of performance” during the last few weeks of training); Surprisingly, Christa Hintermaier , who was considered a great talent, was nominated.
• The ÖSV team arrived in Chile in the evening via Paris and Dakar, but like the French stayed overnight in Santiago for the time being ; in contrast, the Canadians had traveled on to Farrelones, where the Italians had been training for two days.

There was a «preparatory slalom» around July 20th: Bengt-Erik Grahn won the men's race ahead of Hugo Nindl and other Austrians, but the French weren't there. In the women's category (where both the Austrians and the French were missing), Nancy Greene won ahead of Penny McCoy .

As it became known that the slopes in Portillo would not be available for training until July 30th, the Austrian team had a day of rest in Santiago before they joined the Scandinavians, Spanish, Italians and the US on July 28th Team arrived in Portillo. The day before, the teams from Germany, Brazil, Great Britain, Australia, Poland and Lebanon were there - in addition to the team from Switzerland, which only arrived on July 27 and started snow training on July 28. The Japanese and Canadians who were already playing on the practice slopes were really eager.

New FIS world rankings

According to the world rankings published by the FIS , there was an Austrian triple lead in the downhill run by Schranz before Messner and Nenning, followed by Joos Minsch ; Killy was ahead in slalom ex aequo with Périllat and in giant slalom with Mauduit. On the part of the women there was also an ex aequo tour in the descent with Haas and Schinegger in front of Marielle Goitschel; this in turn led both in slalom (before Greene and Famose) and giant slalom (before ex aequo Cathy Allen and Greene).

Opening ceremony

The members of the World Cup delegations had gathered behind the "Hotel Portillo" and marched, led by a band from the Chilean army, to the fairground in front of the hotel. The teams took their places, only the flags of Chile, the FIS and the Chilean Ski Association were hoisted, but Emile Allais had been given the honor of being another Chilean on a highly visible, higher point because of his services to the worldwide spread of skiing Raise the flag. Afterwards, the Chilean association president gave a speech and President Frei declared the world championships open.

Worth mentioning

• Before the start, the Brazilian Ski Association was accepted into the FIS in one of the many FIS meetings.
• Portillo didn't seem well prepared for the World Championships. Lack of medication, initially ice-cold quarters, only a single telephone that belonged to the army. The telex machines were still in Munich. The television broadcasting station had not yet opened, although it should have been on July 15th. However, there were no direct broadcasts (for example, the ORF did not send a recording of the women's slalom on August 5th until one day later; other competitions were partly repeated on another day); the radio broadcast the second run from 5 p.m. Both German-speaking and French-speaking Swiss television took a similar approach, which, for example, was broadcast on August 6th from around 10:45 p.m. (after a Eurovision broadcast from London's Earl Court of the Boxing World Championship match between Cassius Clay and Brian London (Western Switzerland ) and 10:25 pm with the title "Championnats du monde de ski (Reflets filmés)" (French-speaking Switzerland)) showed the women's slalom. German television was apparently content with reports in the "current sports studio".
• There was also uncertainty about the presence of Austrian television, which was staying in Portillo with the Innsbruck cameraman Manfred Lechleitner and the Viennese sound engineer Ing.Nentwich, and Michael Kuhn anyway. The editor Lucky Schmidtleitner was omitted for reasons of economy. A maximum of 10 minutes of interviews should be filmed daily. The ORF had already registered a 3-man team with the Second German Television on April 15 , which had acquired the television rights. When filming was about to begin, misunderstandings led the organizers to see serious competition for the official world championship film in the Austrians, as these film rights had been sold by the Chileans to a US company. For the time being, the work of ORF television was delayed.
• For the World Championships it was also questionable to what extent the participants could acclimatise, and they hardly had any experience with August races.
• On July 22nd, Franz Digruber suffered a double broken leg while training in Farellones; he was taken to the hospital in Santiago. On July 23, there was an “improvised” welcoming ceremony in which the teams marched past the Chilean foreign minister and representatives from numerous consulates. The giant slalom runs on the “Colorado-Hang” at 3,300 m altitude on July 23 for the women ( Heidi Zimmermann won ahead of Marielle Goitschel and Ingeborg Jochum ) and on July 24 for the men ( Georges Mauduit won ahead of Werner Bleiner and Guy Périllat ) not only the first tests, but above all their results were necessary for the classification in the FIS rankings.
• There was a serious fall during the men's downhill training on July 30th by the Japanese Hiroshi Maruta during a 20 m jump at over 100 km / h over the road tunnel. During the very difficult touchdown, his head hit a snow-covered rock. He was taken to the hospital set up in the hotel, where a skull fracture with brain injuries, internal bleeding and a contusion in the cerebo-spinal area of ​​the spinal cord were found.
• The Olympic silver medalist from Innsbruck , Billy Kidd , also dropped out due to an injury. He suffered a double fracture of his right leg while training on the downhill track.
• Portillo itself was even isolated from the environment for a while. The telex arrived on July 23rd. The delay was that the Chilean government refused to issue an import permit; Only after a "special regulation" could the devices be sent by air freight. On July 25, the Chilean government gave a reception for the World Cup participants in front of the monument to the freedom hero Bernardo O'Higgins , during which there was the (frugally) well-known flag dispute between the two German states. The German ambassador protested to the Chilean government, and ultimately all flags were withdrawn.
• The organizing committee had invested 9 million US dollars (at that time approx. 33 million DM or 29 million Swiss francs / 234 million schillings) for the construction of the technical equipment and other infrastructure.
• The World Championships turned out to be the greatest success for France in the history of all Alpine World Ski Championships to this day (February 2018), because seven of the eight gold medals to be awarded were seven (initially there were six before the gold medal was awarded to Marielle Goitschel in the Departure came) won by the "Grande Nation". The French Ski Association had learned from the disaster of the 1962 World Championships and meticulously prepared for these championships, which were held at an unusual time of the year for the majority of all ski associations
• While the Austrian federation remained at least three medals and the FRG federation (due to the subsequent correction of the women's downhill result) came up with three medals in the final accounts, that of Switzerland - as in 1962 and 1964 - went empty-handed.
  Due to the falling success curve, the German ski team was only given one chance from the outside world. In the men’s category, the third place in the Downhill Olympic Games, Wolfgang Bartels , was missing , whose use would have been too great a risk because he had not overcome his injuries caused by a car accident. Among the women, the non-nomination of Heidi Biebl had caused a stir, which had more sympathy in the public and the press than one might have expected in the DSV. The reason for their elimination was probably not only the results of elimination races, but also that Biebl had not driven a race in the previous season (she justified this by being too busy privately, but taking part in private races anyway). The team arrived in Santiago on July 17th and immediately traveled to Farrelones, where they took part in a number of races.
• As in 1962 and 1964, the men again had a qualifying slalom, which meant that two nations (Switzerland and Austria) were able to offer five starters in the actual slalom. The first discussions about how this qualification was to be held took place in mid-April 1966 at a meeting of the FIS Downhill and Slalom Committee in Chamrousse , although it was initially planned to run the race in three rounds with a sporty fair mode.
• The competition program was changed several times, which also had to do with the weather. The women's giant slalom was scheduled for August 8th, the downhill race on August 12th, the men's elimination slalom on August 13th and the slalom itself on August 14th. Contrary to the original procedure, the decision was made on August 1st to ride the women's downhill on August 6th and the slalom on August 11th. For the men, the slalom was set for August 13; the closing ceremony was scheduled for August 14th. Heavy snowfall started on August 2nd. On August 3rd, the organizers decided to start with the women's slalom on August 5th. The women's downhill run was actually on August 8th (instead of the giant slalom, which was held on August 11th instead of August 12th). Various changes (such as those in the women's giant slalom) were also decided at short notice, in this case because of the fine weather. Basically, the start of all races (or the first rounds of the slaloms) was set at 11 a.m. local time.
• Portillo also had a serious and positive side effect. The World Cup was founded here.
• Of the announced resignations, Therese Obrecht and Heidi Mittermaier are likely to have actually carried out theirs after the World Championships. However, Obrecht appeared in the announced SSV squad for a training course from October 21 to 23.
• In response to the poor performance of the Austrian men, the ÖSV appointed Franz Hoppichler as the new sports director at a meeting of the main committee on October 8, 1966 in Salzburg.
• Ski manufacturer Josef Fischer announced that his company had spent 1.6 million schillings (800,000 schillings each for skis and for support and racing service). He was of the opinion that French industry could not capitalize on the success economically because its capacity was not large enough at the moment, but that could change in the next few years.
• Subsequently, u.zw. From a preview of the upcoming, newly introduced Ski World Cup, in the »People's newspaper Carinthia« No. 292 of December 22, 1966, page 8 (title: “Before the duel Schranz - Killy”) it was announced that he because of a stomach disease was prevented from "following in Sailer's footsteps with four gold medals in Cortina".

Slopes manager and course setter Othmar Schneider

The slalom Olympic champion from 1952, Othmar Schneider , was the head of the ski school in Portillo and was also the slope manager and the course setter for almost all competitions.

The world championships in retrospect

The (later) résumés of the individual teams or the public (the media) were understandably linked to the success or failure record. The German Ski Association, which did not start with very high expectations, was quite satisfied (at the time, Burgl Färberer assumed fourth place on the descent). The announcement that several athletes, not just those of the DSV, had been infected by a "Portillo virus" (including irritation in the throat and diarrhea ) was quite different from the statements made by the other nations . In the Hamburg newspaper "Die Welt" the journalist Edgar Joubert described the French ski manufacturers as the real winners in the Andes. For the upcoming season 1966/67 Willy Bogner promised to make himself available to the DSV as far as his time allowed. Thoughts of resignation came from Heide Mittermaier and Christa Prinzig.
While the alpine directors of France and Austria, Honore Bonnet and Sepp Sulzberger, praised the slope location and conditions, the Swiss delegation head Prof. Gottfried Schönholzer stuck to his opinion, expressed as early as 1965, that “from the medical doctor's point of view, the world championships were going to be nonsense to forgive such a place with cramped living conditions for three weeks and at such a great height ”.

Specifically, Serge Lang, head of the “Association Internationale de la Presse Sportive” (“AIPS”) and editor of “L'Équipe”, used the French team's successes to gain new insights into wax problems, coatings on the skis and those at great expense Wind tunnel tests, but also more targeted training units (not excessively long like other nations, but intensive; the Austrians and Swiss are said to have "acidified" at the Stilfserjoch and Gornergrat). Luck for the interest in France was that the sports activities there were otherwise quite limited during the holiday season, and after the disappointment with the "Les Bleus" at the World Cup in England, "half of France was longing for success". After the downhill triumph of Killy and Lacroix, the big sports newspaper "L'Équipe" had, for the first time in its history, printed a picture across the full width of the first page, prompting thousands of congratulatory telegrams (including) from General De Gaulle, Brigitte Bardot and Jacques Anquetil , but mainly from strangers who have arrived at the team.

For the Swiss, the renewed lack of medals was a bitter disillusionment. As the journalist Karl Erb noted, it was thanks to the fact that the event in the summer had not aroused such widespread interest and was thus passed back to the agenda, so that the storm of criticism did not come. There was never a fighting mood in the Swiss team, the morale was increasing due to the botched women's slalom, Bruggmann's "failure" in the downhill (a newspaper had hyped him as the upcoming world champion) and the ghost of the missing medal sitting on the neck of the athletes decreased. While the alpine director Roland Rudin, referred to as the technical director, announced his resignation before the title fights in Chile (he was succeeded by the former sports teacher Peter Baumgartner), the men's coach Andreas Hefti and the women's coach Flurin Andeer resigned because of their unsuccessfulness. The successors were the former slalom champion Georg Grünenfelder and the Grindelwald ex-International Albert Schlunegger (Francis Perret and Emil Fröhlich also gained new strength in ski jumping and cross-country skiing). Was the Portillo selection basically based on the FIS points (which left Stefan Kälin disregarded, although the one in the training camps he had participated in as a substitute had made a lasting impression). For the time being, future training sessions were increasingly focused on giant slalom and slalom, as the downhill specialists in Portillo had lost crucial time in the corners.

The Italian team was satisfied; Combination rank 5 from Giustina Demetz, who (because there was more German and Ladin than Italian spoken there) was addressed as "Justi Demetz" and which is less than 5 km from the Hotel Pallus in St. Cristina, the home of Carlo (Karl) Senoner , lived distant, was a "satisfaction". Other runners also achieved unexpectedly good places. This joy arose (all the more) because beforehand - according to journalist Josef Aussersdorfer - the gullible Zeno Colò had caused displeasure, who had let himself be harnessed by writing in the Turin sports newspaper “Tuttosport.” Before the start of the “Campionati mondiali” “Had denounced the preference of the South Tyrolean runners in the team nomination.
The conclusion of the Portillo result was that the Italian federation could not avoid nominating Hermann Nogler as the successor to Bruno Alberti as the sole responsible sports warden (Nogler had the peremtorical demand, "Alberti or me"), regardless of the ovation for the gold medalist Senoner.

In Austria, the Chile result (despite Schinegger Gold) was perceived as a severe defeat, the fact that it was "Summer Ski World Championships" was an excuse. In any case, it was noticeable that the ÖSV team had competed in races in Australia after Portillo. As the journalist Toni Thiel from the “Tiroler Tageszeitung” explained, the “potentiated indifference” was evident in his conversations with the male ÖSV ski stars in March. Even after the end of the Hahnenkamm races there was a "downpour", since the association president Andreas Steiner, obviously tired of begging for financial subsidies, had resigned. Fortunately, a young successor was found (and elected) very quickly in Innsbruck lawyer Karl Heinz Klee . The main reaction was the establishment of a "sports advisory board" and, on October 8th, at the main committee meeting in Salzburg, the nomination of what it was called an "Austrian bonnet" in the person of Prof. Franz Hoppichler, head of the federal sports center in Obergurgl . He was only responsible for this sports advisory board and was put under contract until October 1970 because the officials did not want to part with the model of the "four-year plan". Hoppichler announced changes in the training program; one of his concerns was the creation of two training centers: one high with guaranteed snow, lift and accommodation, and one lower where ice slopes can be prepared for slaloms.

On the part of the organizers, the head of organization Reinaldo Solari regretted the lack of public interest, but he believed it would have a positive effect on the future.

FIS President Marc Hodler commented on the men’s eligibility to start that in the future five runners will no longer be allowed, this was an exception. “The burden of the FIS officials over the success of these world championships was so great that in the next 20 years they would no longer consider holding official FIS races in the southern hemisphere (especially in midsummer), but the big ski nations would there is no avoiding sending small teams to Chile and Argentina every summer ”. The gate judges had done their job in an exemplary manner under the guidance of Othmar Schneider, especially in view of the fact that these were "laymen" (soldiers with no skiing experience) in contrast to qualified judges in Europe. For the future, he suggested 15 forerunners for the men's giant slalom, which, as had clearly been established, did not give an advantage of a front start number and after that the slope was pretty much the same for the first 30 starters. Regarding the combination, there should be a "two-man combination" (downhill / slalom) independent of the special competitions, because France lost the title in the World Championship slalom due to tactical driving out of consideration for the combination.

Men

Five starters were allowed per nation, although not all of them could take part in the main competition due to the qualifying slalom. The FIS had given this permission because, according to its President Marc Hodler, because of the summer event, so many participants were not expected.

The Argentine Jorge Eiras appears last with 65th place in a time of 1: 57.14.

Bruggmann opened, the South Tyrolean Mussner followed and with start number 3 Killy set a time 2.45 better than this one. Teammate Lacroix with No. 8 came closest to Killy with just 45/100 sec. The battle for bronze (after several changes in this position) initially seemed to have been won by Austria's Heini Messner, who had the highest number of elite runners with No. 15 - the Tyrolean was 1.62 seconds behind. But then with No. 23 Franz Vogler crossed the finish line with a clear lead of 0.86 seconds on Messner and secured the podium. (He was not even nominated by the German Ski Association; it was thanks to a collection campaign by the residents of his home town of Oberstdorf , which enabled him to travel to South America.) With the French, slalom specialist Périllat almost achieved silver with No. 43 before getting up the binding opened the last few meters on a landing, he fell, and - spinning on a ski - he crossed the finish line. For the ÖSV runners, who were used to winning, the overall result felt like a defeat that was not due to the wrong wax (the runners even caught up in sliding blocks). Expert reports showed that the French are much better at putting their skis flat. The Austrians had held back during training, so that a prediction was hardly possible; Lacroix had worked the most here and was considered an easy favorite.
In the report of “Welt und Sport” (= Monday edition of the “Volkszeitung Kärnten”) No. 970 of August 8, 1966 on page 1 you can read: “Vogler proved that even with such a high starting number, you can achieve top performance, or rather was to force. The German took excuses about the ribbed piste, which was run in the swings of the top mandatory gates, to the point of absurdity. ”And about the result of the competition as a whole, the next paragraph says:“ Austria's entire team does not seem to be completely set up for these summer races. During training, the French seemed as if they really enjoyed skiing in the summer, everyone else, Austrians, Swiss, Americans, Germans - except for the upcoming man Vogler - looked as if they were fulfilling a duty.

39 runners started, 24 of them reached the finish (in the official result lists all 15 eliminated runners were shown as "disqualified", although apparently some of them might not have continued the race after a fall or a goal mistake.) these failed runners were (along with Grahn) u. a. no less than four Austrians (Schranz, Nindl, Huber, Messner), the two Swiss Bruggmann and Sprecher, the German Vogler and third place in Hebron.
After the first run, the Swede Grahn led in 51.33 seconds with a clear lead of 1.71 seconds over Périllat and the Canadian Hebron (+ 2.27 seconds). Gold medal winner Senoner was only in 4th place (+ 2.39 sec.), Followed by the one with start no. 23 started Willy Bogner (54.32 sec.), Ludwig Leitner (54.49 sec.), Killy (54.65 sec.). - Senoner achieved the second best time in the second run (in 47.84 he was 0.14 seconds behind run winner Louis Jauffret ), who improved from rank 8 to bronze. Grahn, who started no. 2 was penultimate in this run, but fell out due to a fall. Bogner and Leitner took the places of honor behind the medals with ranks 5 and 7 and Heuga with rank 3 (48.26 seconds - tenth in the first run).

Qualification slalom

This was only carried out for the men. Initially scheduled for August 12th, then scheduled for August 13th, it was nevertheless planned to move it forward to August 12th at short notice before it was held on August 13th. Again there was open resistance from the elite runners to this unwanted prologue.
From 8.30 a.m. 77 runners competed, 39 of them for the main competition in twelve groups of six and one group of five (all with a letter; Jean-Claude Killy was in group A, Karl Schranz in group I) and the 15 world best were set, whereby no two runners from the same nation were allowed to start in any group.
It was skied on two different slopes at the same time, not difficult to set out by Martin Burger (AUT) and René Sulpice (FRA). There was constant light snowfall that had lasted since night. For the time being, the two best in the group qualified. Then in a second run (with the group composition remaining the same and only the slopes being swapped) the winners for the «final» again. This was divided into three groups according to the given FIS points.
This procedure meant that ultimately all five runners from Switzerland who had been at the start of the qualification ( Dumeng Giovanoli , Andreas Sprecher and Willy Favre direct and Edmund Bruggmann and Jakob Tischhauser in the second attempt) and those of the ÖSV were qualified; of the seeded only Jules Melquiond was eliminated (but after an ankle injury, so that he was no longer available for the second run). From the "stars" came Schranz and Killy (defeated by Olle Rohlen and Giovanni Dibona or Willy Bogner and Håkon Mjøen ) and Gerhard Nenning ("backed up" by Favre and Ernst Scherzer) - and Hugo Nindl - only got through the hope run further. In addition to Bogner, Willy Lesch , Ludwig Leitner and Franz Vogler , who all managed to move in directly, were at the start for the DSV ; for the GDR it was the aforementioned Scherzer and Lützendorf (both the latter and Leitner met Heini Messner in Group B ). The behavior of Aurelio Garcia , who, together with Felice de Nicolo Nindl, referred to the hope run, then called himself “un hombre valiente” (“a brave lad”) and announced that he would get a letterhead with the inscription “Aurelio Garcia, Nindl -Bezwinger »made. Among the contenders for a good combination placement, Ivo Mahlknecht, who had been placed in 5th place, failed.

According to the explanations of the Swiss journalist Karl Erb under the title "Is the alpine combination still up to date?" (Subtitle: "Current combination a problematic matter") in "ski - Official Organ of the German Ski Association" (Unionverlag Stuttgart), volume 19, issue No. 4 of December 1, 1966, pages 230/231, Ivo Mahlknecht was (obviously) subsequently placed in the sixth combination seat. Mahlknecht was in an intermediate ranking of the other two disciplines in 5th place, but since he had not participated in the main competition due to his elimination in the qualifying slalom and thus had not been able to take advantage of the possible medal chance, it was purely theoretical because of his elimination slalom Times, a combination grade was determined that was good for rank 6.

The race planned for August 12th was brought forward by one day due to the fine weather.
As expected, the ÖSV team management nominated downhill world champion Schinegger instead of Hecher, which had already been determined, according to which the runner better placed in the downhill should be given preference. So it was also accepted that Hecher, who was 5th in the interim classification of the combination, was eliminated.
The race took place in diffuse light, with a little wind.
Of the Austrians, only Zimmermann crossed the finish line completely without a fall, but there had been outrage even before the race because of the way in which sportsman Sepp Sulzberger had relocated Christl Haas to the second starting group (she had to drive with No. 31). Haas was obviously discouraged by this, fell and gave up.
Schinegger was the first ever runner in the race, Zimmermann followed with No. 2. Winner Marielle Goitschel wore No. 7, Steurer No. 10.

40 runners were at the start, 35 of them reached the finish.

A women's slalom had never been held on such a steep terrain (35.2 degrees) before, only in the final part did it become flatter. The snow was dull and slow, so there were only two falls in the first run.
Disappointment for Austria - in 12th place with Grete Digruber, who was able to improve from 19th place with sixth best mark (45.51 seconds) in the second run. Christl Haas also managed an increase of ten places here with fourth-best time (45.14 sec.) (After 34th place, because in the first run there was a cant with a subsequent fall in the 10th goal) - on the other hand, Heidi Zimmermann was from Rank 9 (48.28 sec.), With only 23rd time in the 2nd run, dropped to rank 18.
The race was opened by Cathy Allen, whose 46.58 seconds was the fourth running time. After the first run, Nancy Greene led in 45.54 seconds ahead of Famose (45.92) and Marielle Goitschel (46.52); McCoy was only 7th with 47.28 seconds.
In the second run, Marielle Goitschel achieved the fastest time with 44.43 seconds, ahead of Famose and McCoy, while Greene fell back to 7th with 21st time (she never got up to speed).
43 runners were at the start, 34 of them made it into the rankings.

The next sequence was: 2) Famose 12.51; 3) Saubert 34.65; 4) Dye finger 41.07; 5) Hecher 52.57; 6) Prinzing 52.78; 7) Heidi Zimmermann 53.62; 8) Demetz 57.32; 9) allene 59.60; 10) Ruth Adolf 60.36; 11) Haas 64.37. (please refer to the source under Giant Slalom Women)

NOTE: Strictly speaking, the classification should have been revised after the downhill result had been corrected (winner Goitschel would have been ahead of the starting competition, the slalom, with 2.91 points, but a new calculation should have been made for the other runners; whether this was ultimately only a change in points or would have affected any placements is questionable).

The positions were determined according to a point system from the results of the downhill, giant slalom and slalom.
