1968

The 1967 season of the Alpine Ski World Cup (the first ever), which was not yet organized by the FIS , began on January 5, 1967 in Oberstaufen or Berchtesgaden and ended on March 27, 1967 in Jackson Hole . There were 17 races for men (5  downhill runs , 5  giant slaloms , 7  slaloms ). There were also 17 races for women (4 downhill runs, 6 giant slaloms, 7 slaloms).

The three best results counted both for the overall World Cup and for the respective discipline World Cup. In the Nations Cup, too, only the three best results of each runner were included.

This season was an interim year without a World Cup or Olympic Games.

Season course

New FIS point lists

The lists published shortly after the first decade of November were calculated from an average of the two best results of the 1965/66 season, including the World Championships and some races in South America. For runners who only had one result, a special bonus evaluation was applied. The respective leaders were shown with zero points.

Women:

Downhill (21 races):
1st place ex aequo for Christl Haas & Erika Schinegger, 3rd place Marielle Goitschel, 4th place Giustina Demetz; also rank 7 ex aequo Nancy Greene & Madeleine Wuilloud.
Giant Slalom (33 races):
1st place for Marielle Goitschel in front of ex aequo Wendy Allen & Nancy Greene; also rank 5 Theres Obrecht, rank 6 Heidi Zimmermann.
Slalom (38 races):
1st place ex aequo for Marielle Goitschel & Nancy Greene, 3rd place Annie Famose; also rank 5 Penny McCoy, rank 6 Traudl Hecher, rank 7 Fernande Bochatay.

Men's:

Downhill (21 races):
1st place for Karl Schranz in front of Heini Messner and Gerhard Nenning, 4th place Jos Minsch; also rank 6 Léo Lacroix, rank 7 Jean-Claude Killy, rank 10 Ivo Mahlknecht, rank 14 Bill Kidd.
Giant slalom (43 races):
1st place ex aequo for Jean-Claude Killy & Georges Mauduit & Guy Périllat, 4th place Willi Favre, 5th place Karl Schranz; also rank 7 Bill Kidd, rank 12 Felice de Nicolo.
Slalom (46 races):
1st place ex aequo for Jean-Claude Killy & Guy Périllat, 3rd place Karl Schranz; also rank 8 Carlo Senoner, rank 10 Ludwig Leitner, rank 13 Bengt-Erik Grahn, rank 14 Raimo Manninen, rank 21 Andreas Sprecher.

Preparations

For the DSV team, the departure of the Innsbruck Olympic third in the downhill, Wolfgang Bartels, who had not fully recovered after the injuries sustained two years ago after a car accident (and also took over the family restaurant), left noticeable traces of disappointment. In addition, the injured Ludwig Leitner had to be dispensed with at the start in Berchtesgaden. For the women, the DSV team in Oberstaufen did not have the best line-up, as some runners started an (important) youth race in Tyrol (Gries am Brenner).

The season preparations in Italy, Austria and Switzerland were marked by elimination races. Also with the French, according to their head coach Honore Bonnet, it was said that “everyone has to fight for their place in the national team again”, which means that the men's team will not be fundamentally changed, but the best in terms of performance are important To push forces to the fore. In the women's category, Marielle Goitschel and Annie Famose even represented a kind of special class among their teammates. The question for the entire team was whether the absolute top position gained by Portillo could become a burden.

Ivo Mahlknecht and slalom world champion Carlo Senoner were fixed starters in the "Azzuris". Dumeng Giovanoli turned out to be the "big man" at the "SSV" in terms of qualifications and the members of the national team had generally been able to assert themselves against the upcoming youngsters. The women were somewhat concerned, so it was assumed that Swiss alpine skiing would have to rely primarily on the men for the time being. With regard to the ski brands used, following an apparently successful tradition, two world-class downhill and giant slalom runners decided to switch to “Blizzard” skis.

Prof. Franz Hoppichler made a slight change of opinion among the Austrians, who issued the slogan "to maintain the dominance in the men's downhill for the coming winter". The given situation presented itself in such a way that the veterans (although Heini Messner had presented himself most excellently in the training sessions) were not yet in immediate danger from the “younger guard”. The situation in the women's area was viewed differently and more critically, because there were injuries (Christl Haas) and form lows or fluctuations (Traudl Hecher, Brigitte Seiwald).

The first world cup races

The first edition of the World Cup designed by Serge Lang was an event organized by the French sports newspaper L'Équipe and not yet a matter for the FIS . To highlight the special features of this new format, the first race, the men's slalom in Berchtesgaden on January 5, 1967, was even measured in thousandths of a second. Here won Heinrich Messner in 97,259 seconds before Jules Melquiond in 97317 s. However, later the times for this slalom were only given in hundredths of a second. In general, the regulations were limited to hundredths of a second in terms of timing from the second race onwards. In fact, thousandths of a second were still displayed, but not disclosed to the public and the data carriers were erased after a short time. The timing system operated by Sepp Blatter failed for a short time. The reigning world champion Carlo Senoner opened the first World Cup race in history with start number 1 and finished in 5th place. Of the 82 registered competitors from 16 countries, 76 started. The weather was sunny but cold, the snow and slope conditions were excellent. Course setters were Matthias Wanger (Germany) and René Sulpice (France).

In the first women's World Cup race, the slalom in Oberstaufen on January 7, 1967, the Swiss Fernande Bochatay led after the first run , but Nancy Greene moved up to first place with the fastest time. The start of Marielle Goitschel , who had been inactive for a long time due to an Achilles tendon injury, was eagerly awaited: She also looked quite strong, but threaded 30 m from the finish.

The first direct TV broadcast by ORF was on January 10, 1967, at 10.25 a.m. from the first round of the women's slalom in Grindelwald.

Events

Contrary to the planned and almost completely adhered to custom, the men's giant slalom on January 6th consisted of only one round, whereby there was the first complete podium for France (plus ranks 5 and 6). The giant slalom on March 19 in Vail also consisted of just one run. The new form with two rounds took some getting used to, especially in the print media, because the classifications were given headings such as “First race”, “Second race” and “Overall classification”. In view of the fact that the runs took place on two days (so that a larger report could also be read from the first run), this choice of words is rather understandable. The women's giant slalom (up to and including the 1976/77 season ) was held in just one run, while that of Saint-Gervais-les-Bains was held in two runs on two days. There was also a combined classification that was won by Goitschel, Famose and Steurer.

In the men's downhill in Kitzbühel, nine runners improved the course record set by Karl Schranz on January 22, 1966 (2: 16.63; at that time the Arlberger had achieved an improvement of 4.03 seconds) while the tenth placed Léo Lacroix equalized it. Schranz started the record hunt with start number 1 in 2: 16.29 (he finished 8th). Jean-Claude Killy with number 6 pulverized the previous mark in 2: 11.82. The record improvement had already been announced in the “non-stop descent” the day before.

In Franconia , the reporters praised the fact that detailed information on all runners made their work easier. Several color televisions were also set up and falls were shown in slow motion flashbacks. At the men's giant slalom on February 11th, Herbert Huber was first celebrated as the winner, but then moved back to 9th place. A computer had given his time with 1: 34.66 instead of 1: 39.33, the actual winner Killy came in 1: 35.63. There was a French protest because no one could believe that Huber should have been 0.97 faster than Killy.

Cancel

In Saint-Gervais, the women's downhill run scheduled for January 28th was canceled due to the rain, so there was a giant slalom on both January 27th and 28th (these two runs were counted as one - as described in the article "Worth mentioning").

Superiority of France

The French team continued its great form from the 1966 World Cup and was broadly positioned. Of 34 possible victories, the men achieved 15 and the women 7. Only the Canadian Nancy Greene managed to hold back with eight wins and just about to get the overall World Cup victory. In terms of podium finishes, France took 30 men and 29 women (out of a possible 51 each). In the race for second place, Canada, thanks to Nancy Greene, even led 9 to 7 in the women’s race against Austria, while the men’s second place with 9 places ahead of Switzerland (5)

With twelve victories this season (including all five downhill runs), the double world champion from Portillo , Jean-Claude Killy , was the outstanding runner, which explains his record lead despite the cancellation results, because he gave the competition little leeway to accumulate points. Heinrich Messner as second had 10 points in the downhill and 7 each in the giant slalom and slalom. Killy recorded two failures in the slalom or no placement in the points, was once second and once third, in the giant slalom a third place was his worst result. Messner was third, sixth and seventh and twice fifth in the descent. In the giant slalom he was third, fourth, sixth, seventh and eighth and in the slalom (in addition to his opening win) he was second, seventh and eighth and had two retirements. Even if Messner had also won the four other races (Killy did not win) and otherwise finished second, only 205 points would have remained for him. In the women’s category, Nancy Greene and Marielle Goitschel did not have any points in the downhill, in giant slalom there was a ratio of 40 to 18, in slalom only Goitschel (31) was affected.

Only by winning the final race (slalom in Jackson Hole on March 26th) did Greene win the overall World Cup ahead of Marielle Goitschel, who was second in this race, 0.07 behind. So Greene had 176 points, Goitschel 169.5. At that time, half points were also awarded because there were so-called "World Cup B" races in which the points were halved in relation to "World Cup A". The half points are no longer shown in later statistics. In addition, Goitschel has 172 points in the more recent statistics, although the relevant newspapers at that time named the point account as 169.5.

resignation

At the end of the season, the two-time bronze medalist in the Olympic downhill run, Traudl Hecher , who achieved two podium positions with third place (slalom from Monte Bondone / February 1 and giant slalom from Jackson Hole / March 24), resigned .

Race outside the World Cup

The season was interrupted by several competitions that were not part of the World Cup.

  • It actually began on December 14, 1966 with the traditional criterion of the first snow Val-d'Isère , where the elite runners from Austria, Italy and the USA were missing. Killy won the giant slalom, and one day later Steurer won the women's slalom. Grahn followed on December 16 in the men's slalom and ultimately Famose in the giant slalom on December 17. On December 18, there was also the descent in the “Coupe Henri Oreiller” with an eight-fold French victory, although the German and Swiss runners left early because of the poor external conditions. Most of the Austrian team, made up of runners from Tyrol and Vorarlberg, took part in the respective federal state championships.
  • In Monte Bondone there was not only the slalom won by Färberinger, but on the following two days there was both a descent (Schinegger won ahead of Haas and Färberinger) and a giant slalom (another Färberinger victory, this time ahead of Famose, Haas and Schinegger)
  • Before the slalom in Madonna di Campiglio there were two races in which Killy did not participate, u. between February 3rd a downhill (victory Messner) and on February 4th a giant slalom (victory Périllat).
  • The “Alpencup” took place in Bad Gastein from February 7th to 12th, and Killy and Schranz were absent. The victories went to Herbert Huber on February 7th and Marielle Goitschel on February 8th in the slalom and again to Goitschel on February 9th and Georges Mauduit on February 11th in the giant slalom. Both the women’s and the men’s downhill run took place on February 12th, with Isabelle Mir and Gerhard Nenning winning and the combined classification going to Famose and Mauduit. In the team standings France was able to overtake Austria.
  • In Chamrousse , alpine ski races were held as pre-Olympic competitions the following weekend, but several things were badly organized. The teams from Switzerland, Germany and Austria left early because of the lack of accommodation. The Italians Giustina Demetz and Glorianda Cipolla were not taken from the bus that was supposed to take them to the slopes on February 19th (day of the downhill race) due to overcrowding (tourists were given preference). After the postponed men's downhill run, the women's slalom was the first competition on February 17th in which only eight runners came into the rankings, on February 18th the men's slalom was won by Håkon Mjøen , and both downhill runs were on February 19th with wins by Killy or me.
  • The following weekend was marked by the national championships (the Austrians drove in Schruns , the French in Chamonix ).
  • The Kandahar races (this time in Sestriere ) were part of the World Cup program for the first time, but the slaloms were not part of the World Cup due to the different format and were won by Florence Steurer and Heinrich Messner.
  • Before the World Cup races in Vail, a five-country match (USA, Canada, France, Switzerland, Austria) took place on March 16, with Killy winning ahead of James Heuga and Dumeng Giovanoli and Marielle Goitschel ahead of Famose and Schinegger. The next day in the giant slalom Killy was successful again, this time ahead of Périllat and Rick Chaffee. In the women's category, Greene prevailed ahead of Ingeborg Jochum and Suzy Chaffee. In the descent on the third day it was Killy again (before Nenning and Hanspeter Rohr). Austria's only victory was achieved by Schinegger (ahead of Greene and Isabelle Mir ), whereby the overall ranking with 228 points went to the French team ahead of Austria (221), USA (136) and Switzerland (117).
  • The various “alpine combinations” that were merely “paper races” should also be noted. The most striking thing here was that Killy was only the fourth competitor in the 37th edition of the Lauberhorn races, who won the local ranking with an ideal score of 0 (zero). Before that, there had been two before World War II - and then in 1953 Anderl Molterer.
