The 32nd Alpine World Ski Championships took place from February 4 to 14, 1993 in the Shizukuishi winter sports station near the Japanese city ​​of Morioka on Mount Takakura and Mount Kotakakura , which have more of the character of hills . The slopes were subsequently given difficulties by the Swiss slope architect Bernhard Russi . The men's downhill, the key point of which was the Kongoo jump , which allowed the widths of 60 meters , comprised twelve curves and five jumps. For the women, the track had nine turns and four jumps. Due to the bad weather conditions, individual races had to be postponed several times, and the men's Super-G could no longer be held; it was deleted without replacement.

For the first time ever, Alpine World Ski Championships, detached from the Winter Olympics (as was the case in Sapporo in 1972), took place in Asia. On June 11, 1988, the venue had already won the first ballot at the 36th FIS Congress in Istanbul against the other competitors as a potential host.

opening

• This took place on February 3rd at 9 am local time and was carried out by Crown Prince Fumihito of Akishino , who presented himself indignantly; it was to be assumed that the criticism of the award to the weather-prone Morioka had also got through to him.
• 6,000 visitors came. 456 athletes from 45 nations moved in, the so-called “rest of Yugoslavia” had been excluded from the FIS due to a UN resolution.
• Two reigning world champions were the flag bearers: Ulrike Maier in Austria and Franz Heinzer in Switzerland.
• There were protests about an anorak worn by FIS President Marc Hodler because of his anorak with an advertising emblem for "Rossignol" attached to it, but this French ski was the official World Championship ski.
• But there were also protests, including between the company "Raichle", using the start numbers that were labeled "Nordica". However, these did not work. The FIS even threatened disqualification if changes were made to the start numbers because of the inscription, the statement from "Raichle" read, "We want to accept the decision in the interests of the athletes".
• Eight thousand journalists, sponsors and "VIPS" and 200,000 visitors came or were expected. Lt. FIS General Secretary Gian Franco Kasper named 45 associations with 250 active participants.

Criticism of the decision for Morioka

FIS President Marc Hodler defended the Morioka election and did not deny that economic considerations had also played a role in the award. “The industry was sure of it because Japan, with its millions of skiers, is an interesting sales market. It was also an obligation to give a World Cup to Asia, where Japan was the only option ”.

Against the statements of Hodler and General Secretary Kasper that there was no snow to be found in Europe and that holding a World Cup would also have brought problems, the member cities of the association "Best of the Alps" (Chamonix, Cortina, Grindelwald, St. Moritz, Davos, Zermatt, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Lech am Arlberg, Kitzbühel and Seefeld): “The association resolutely rejects these false and business-damaging statements that are spread around the world. In the European winter sports resorts there are currently mostly very good snow conditions. As a long-standing loyal partner of the FIS, the association organizes ski events and also provided training opportunities in the summer. ”A correction was requested during the World Cup.

A senior FIS official confirmed to the Austrian daily newspaper “Salzburger Nachrichten” (see issue no. 31 of February 8, 1993, page 17, with the title “Ungeheure processes” in the awarding of the World Cup ”) that he was two months after the award came to the World Cup region for the first time and found that the ski area largely consisted of plans and there was only one parking lot and one lift. Instead of the women's run described as difficult, only a forest existed.

Sports decisions

• Already on January 12th there was an advance notification to the FIS, in which a larger squad could be named before this was reduced after the World Cup races. The ÖSV listed 36 names (19 men, 17 women) and in the final fixation 14 men and 12 women, although there was no absolute sensation. It became clear that Helmut Höflehner would be absent because he hadn't gotten in shape and was injured.
• The Swiss team leaders did not nominate Vreni Schneider for the combined competition because of the high risk of injury.
• It was not until February 4 that Paul Accola arrived as the last straggler after his meniscus tear in December; his plans were starts in slalom and giant slalom. However, he was not nominated anywhere, for the (ultimately not played) Super-G he lost the team's internal qualification.
• Kate Pace practically only rode her right hand during her downhill win, because she had broken her left hand and put on a cuff when she fell on the downhill run. As she said, the postponement suited her because it gave her time to learn to use only a stick.
• After its completion, the women's combined slalom turned out to be a "detective work", as incompetent gate judges were not up to their task. Video material was used as an aid, which led to Astrid Lødemel's disqualification, while Anne Berge (NOR) suspected goal errors were undetectable.
• Combination gold for Lasse Kjus meant the first gold medal for Norway's men in an Alpine World Ski Championships since Stein Eriksen in 1954 in Åre .
• Marc Girardelli did not compete in the descent. His father (and trainer) Helmut Girardelli justified this with the fact that downhill runs on this mountain (Mount Takakura) are irregular and only riders with higher numbers have a chance. The runner also wanted to prepare for the special slalom and Super-G.
• The Austrian downhill trainer Werner Margreiter initially sent eleven runners into the downhill qualification, then with the new Leonhard Stock, because he said that anything was possible on this route. It was immediately apparent at the first time that the group 1 runners were "blown away" by the weather conditions (wind). Luc Alphand with start no. 33 was the fastest.
• Norway's trainer Dieter Bartsch had intervened with FIS race director Karl Frehsner before the men's descent and had the snow, which he described as "lazy", shoveled out of the slide.
• The Austrian slalom runner Monika Maierhofer refused to qualify against two other competitors in pouring rain and was therefore sent home.
• At the men's giant slalom on February 9th, the second round had to be canceled (due to strong winds after several postponements) and rescheduled for the next day, which was a novelty in this way. In the early years with the introduction of the men's giant slalom, there were two runs on two days, but that was programmed in that way at the time.
• In contrast to the common practice at the World Cup, where the runners themselves chose the start number (the day before), i.e. the “pick up”, the trainers were allowed to use this procedure. The Austrian trainer Werner Margreiter had chosen Thomas Stangassinger for the number 2, even though the Tennengau resident had wanted the number 1 - and of all things, he won number 1; Aamodt was only advanced into the slalom elite group through his victory in the combination slalom.
• For the first time, a competition at the Alpine World Ski Championships could not be held with the men's Super G. At first it was said that this Super-G would be added (probably in Lillehammer), but on February 20th the FIS Board rejected this proposal on the occasion of its stay at the Nordic World Ski Championships in Falun . They did not want to trigger a “prejudicial effect” and otherwise “the world championships might never end”.

Worth mentioning

• The English language "The Japan Times" published a photo of Günther Mader with the caption "Here you can see Austria's Super-G world champion Ukrike Meyer" in its world championship preview. In the official World Cup brochure, Rudi Nierlich was named as Italian and also as "Neilrich", Stephan Eberharter as "Eberherzer".
• ÖSV President Peter Schröcksnadel had to travel home shortly before the start of the World Cup because his mother had died.
• Contrary to the first announcements that only a few athletes might take part in the opening ceremony (the quarters of the ÖSV team was 35 km from the ice rink in Morioka), 20 ÖSV representatives attended the ceremony.
• It was only after these world championships that the FIS computer had reacted to the fact that the Austrian runner Veronika Wallinger was now called Stallmaier.
• The competitions took place in Shizukuishi, the award ceremonies in Morioka, 27 km away. Mount Takakura was (is) the mountain to be seen on the right of the venue (where only men's competitions were held), on the left was (is) Kotakakura.
• The 54-year-old Toshiaki Tsutsumi, known as “Mister WM” and also president of the Japanese Ski Association, who survived a plane crash 22 years ago, had built many ski stations and also opened up Morioka.
• The organizer announced that the two runs on the same day (February 11) had been visited by 48,500 spectators. It was observed by the attentive journalists that some of these spectators must have been the same for both the men's and women's descent, as many visitors stomped straight to the other mountain, Kotakakura, after the end of Takakura.
• The new “Salomon” ski manufactured in Annecy , with which Carole Merle won the giant slalom, was cast from a mold, and the “raw model” alone cost around 200,000 DM; this production method was called "Monocoque Technic". However, competitor "Rossignol" sensed factory espionage.
• In an interim balance sheet, ÖSV President Schröcksnadel defended the 650,000 Schillings invested in a test program because its evaluations would bear fruit for years to come. He commented on the men's downhill run to the effect that it could just as easily have been played in Las Vegas because it was a pure game of chance. After Kronberger's resignation and Ginter's injury, the women far exceeded expectations. Regarding criticism, he wants to wait until the end of the season, but there is always something to improve, and in various areas there is still too little professional work. There was praise for the Japanese for having managed a super organization despite the postponements.

Injuries, illnesses

• Sabine Ginther fell during the first training session on the World Cup downhill course and tore a cruciate ligament in her left knee. She came to the University Clinic in Innsbruck via Frankfurt on February 1st, where she was operated on by Prof. Benedetto on February 2nd.
• Several prominent runners were missing, including between Pernilla Wiberg , Hilary Lindh and Katharina Gutensohn , who had all been injured before (and in January). For the ailing Armin Bittner , the flight to Japan was already a torture. He was still plagued by intervertebral disc problems, he only felt pain-free when lying down, and he could stand it for 45 minutes at most. Please see the title "Injuries" in the article on the Alpine Ski World Cup 1992/93.
• During the first time there were several falls, all of which happened after jumps; While Takuya Ishioka was unharmed and Chad Fleischer and Paul Puckett got off lightly, Erik Schlopy suffered a fracture of the sternum and thoracic vertebrae, the 11th and 12th vertebrae were damaged, and there was even fear of permanent paralysis. In addition, the rescue service turned out to be helpless because the fallen runners remained lying in the snow for a long time without being taken care of and the stretcher did not fit in the ambulance. Schlopy was flown home on February 8th
• Chantal Bournis suffered a torn ligament and a chipped right ankle bone on February 6 when she fell over after jumping on a comrade's foot during an indoor volleyball game.
• Alberto Tomba, who started no. 4, could not take part in the giant slalom because of flu, which was accordingly spread in the Italian media. Since this race was run on two days, the Italian Ski Association announced a protest against the evaluation or a request for a new run, but the regulations had allowed the second run to be held the next day. No Italian journalist was present in the finish area during the first giant slalom. All reporters were in or near the hotel where Tomba was staying and were constantly inquiring about the status of the clinical thermometer.
• Leonhard Stock , who had traveled a little late after surviving the flu (on February 1st from 6:30 p.m. from Innsbruck via Frankfurt / Main and Moscow), was still in bad shape. This led to substitute Hannes Trinkl moving up. Stock had to travel home early; he suffered from a rash caused by an allergy the cause of which was not (yet) known. The doctor had issued a starting ban. In addition, the drugs administered were those that would not have allowed participation in the race.

The "money front"

• At the German Ski Association, the medal endowment was increased by two thirds compared to 1991. There were 650,000 DM for gold, 450,000 DM for silver and 300,000 DM for bronze. It was also announced that only sports manager Peter Hinterseer and the technical director, Willi Lesch , had traveled with the officials, while sports director Helmut Weinbuch stayed at home. It was said that a larger delegation "is not suitable for the general wave of recession". Miriam Vogt's world championship title brought the association a five-year contract with the Japanese sporting goods manufacturer Mizuno , which was worth 357,000 DM.
• At the Swiss federation there was only half of what the DSV was willing to pay out. For the Swiss participants, however, through their ski pool, there was an exception rule for appearances in TV studios with pullovers from the manufacturer "Reusch": invitations from ZDF and ARD brought DM 1,000, RTL , sat1 and SRG DM 800. (In contrast, the Directive of the ÖSV that its athletes had to appear in the official dress of the association.) A city flight was offered as a “reward” for the fourth place.
• When Austrians a bonus system was set up, played along with the five or six components, and thus did not allow for exact numbers. However, there was talk of half a million schillings for the gold medal, plus bonuses from sponsors and equipment contracts. There was, however, a report that the association is allowing 300,000 schillings to “jump” for a gold medal, whereby Ulrike Maier had to reckon with a deduction of 120,000 schillings from pool prizes already won because she did not wear pool-friendly clothing during a TV appearance. It was also announced that “Tirol-Werbung” is leaving as the main sponsor of the men's team and that the dairy product manufacturer and marketer will be NÖM's successor.

TV and radio

• The ORF had estimated 7.2 million schillings for the external costs alone, it worked closely with the other German-speaking TV stations ( ARD / ZDF / SRG ).
• The Austrian ex-ski racer Christl Ditfurth , who had lived in Tokyo and learned the local language since 1977 , got a stressful part-time job because she was available as an interpreter for Japanese radio and TV.
• The (interested) foreign TV stations only received a recording of the women's slalom on February 9, since Japanese television stayed on it "live" to show the second round of the men's giant slalom. For example, the ORF was only able to show Karin Buder's “gold medal run” , which had been perfected around 6:40 am CET, at around 7:30 am. However, there was a lapse on ORF radio, because Ö3 preferred to broadcast advertising at 6:40 a.m. before the rather angry reporter Manfred Payrhuber was allowed to go "on air".
