The highlight of the season was the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo .

Season course

New rules for races with two runs

This season the so-called “Bibbo rule” was introduced, named after its Swedish “inventor” Bibbo Nordenskjöld . It was first used at the suggestion of the French at the giant slalom of Val-d'Isère on December 9th and it proved itself. Accordingly, there was a fair settlement in the competitions with two rounds (men's giant slalom), according to which in the second run the runners with start numbers 1 to 15 started in the overturned order, then those with the rank that came after these 15 riders first group due to the classification of the first run. The first real beneficiary was Erik Håker , who with start number 20 (incidentally the highest winner number in a men's giant slalom to date) had led after the first run and now in the second run as the earliest 16th (and not - as in his case - at worst as 26.) was allowed to start. Another high number after the first run was with No. 27 Walter Tresch (SUI) in 7th place. In a later episode, however, this rule was changed so that the 2nd run was based on the classification of the first run from the start, This meant that the runners from 1 to 15 who appeared in the ranking started in the downward sequence (so that the leader was last) and then, according to the ranking, the runners from rank 16 followed Regulation not applied, however.

Resolutions at the FIS Congress

In addition to various stipulations on amateur paragraphs (please see separate article), the European Cup instead of the World Cup B competition was decided at the Congress in Opatija (May 26-29, 1971). For the World Cup, the so-called “host rule” (double the contingent, a maximum of 20 starters) was restricted to the fact that this is only allowed for two races at the same location (there is no additional permit for more than two races). Eligibility for participation per nation was reduced from 50 to 40 FIS points per runner and from 70 to 60 FIS points for female runners; only smaller countries are allowed to provide 2 riders each regardless of the FIS points. An application to hold women's giant slalom runs in two rounds was rejected (attempts should only be made, but not in the World Cup; a decision could be made at the next congress in 1973).

Amateur paragraph

The season was not only tense because of the upcoming Olympic Winter Games - as is generally the case with every season in which such major events take place - but it became even more explosive due to the questions about the amateur paragraph and any advertising activities. (However, the following two seasons were also marked by these controversies over professionalism.)

The 28th FIS Congress, which opened in Opatija on May 26th, laid down stricter guidelines for qualifications as “amateur ski racers”. Even before the start of the working sessions on May 28, it was clear that the FIS was breaking new ground and, in a sense, had to do pioneering work for other large sports associations with similar problems. With regard to the opinion of the IOC President Avery Brundage in particular, the members of the Congress had not wanted to risk anything. Runners were only awarded compensation for loss of wages for preparations in a period not exceeding 60 days and for travel to training and competition sites, full allowance for maintenance during training and competitions, and social protection including full insurance. Advertisements for skis, equipment or goods were not allowed to contain names, photos or titles of individual competitors, success quotes could only refer to team groups and competition records used in advertisements could not refer to identifiable persons. For the font sizes on the skis, no letter was allowed to exceed 25 mm in height and 35 mm in width, on the shoes (ski boots) the dimension was limited to 15 mm and for ski sticks to 10 mm in each dimension. No visible commercial identification was allowed on the exterior of clothes, uniforms, helmets, gloves or glasses.

With regard to the feared ban beam by IOC President Avery Brundage , which was mainly directed against the gentlemen, there were preventive measures. For example, during the training sessions at the start of the season in St. Moritz , the drivers covered their start numbers because the Brundage visit had been announced there. Obviously, the DSV reacted sharply against various violations, e.g. B. masked advertising in newspaper advertisements, and blocked some runners. There were also problems with the admission of the company supervisors, who even threatened a strike if they were not allowed to be available to the runners.

The amateur affair also led to a crisis in the French Olympic Committee, in which its President Jean de Beaumont resigned on December 10th because of uncertainties about the qualifications of the French ski elite. The women were also affected because of the start number advertising. between the Kandahar races in Sestriere, where a conflict situation arose after the US coach Schäffler's complaint that US athletes were prohibited from wearing start numbers with advertising labels by order of the US National Olympic Committee, and FIS President Marc Hodler then recommended sticking it over. Because now the Arlberg Kandahar Committee and the jury reported with a reference to the FIS competition rules, which punish a change of the start number with the disqualification. So the American runners started with these "promotional start numbers".

A message released on January 6th said that Brundage would only allow Alpine and Nordic skiing competitions in Sapporo as FIS World Championships. Furthermore, the advertising letters on the start numbers were the reason for the Brundage informants; In Sestriere, for example, vermouth was advertised, and in Maribor, bras.

Another message came at the beginning of January 1972, according to which all World Cup runners for Brundage were not qualified for Sapporo because they had advertised a mineral water company with start numbers marked "Coupe de Monde Fis - Evian" and it was insignificant that the runners had followed the rules of the FIS. According to the National Olympic Committee of Germany, the amateur paragraph should be abolished in the future. The NOK also initiated investigations because German ski racers had advertised fruit juice in a magazine. For the first descent in Kitzbühel (January 14th), with the exception of the runners from Poland and the USA, everyone competed with the well-known FIS start numbers. Reports of all the quarrels came almost every day. And then it was also said that Brundage's statements were just blank guns.

The behavior of the US Ski Association was felt to be somewhat strange, which had refused to have its runners equipped with start numbers with company advertising at the European races, but then at the event in Crystal those with the company name of a brewery from Washington state who financed the races here.

Other events

• On September 27, 1971, the “Austria Ski Pool” was opened in the “House of Sports” in Vienna by ÖSV President Dr. Karl Heinz Klee , President of the Chamber of Commerce Ing. Rudolf Sallinger and Minister of Education Dr. Leopold Gratz founded.
• Heini Messner was placed in the second starting group, but still finished second both on the downhill run at the start of the season in St. Moritz (with No. 22) and in the downhill in Val d'Isère (with No. 29). At the aforementioned descent in France there was not only an Austrian double victory, but also the fact that Karl Schranz was back on the top podium after a long period of no victory (this was the last time at the World Championship giant slalom on February 10, 1970).
• A message (from the European Cup with the victory of a certain Franz Klammer on December 10th on the downhill run in Bad Kleinkirchheim ) only became important about two years later.
• The somewhat unsuccessful women's slalom on December 18 in Sestriere was surprisingly won by Françoise Macchi with the highest starting number with which a women's World Cup slalom was won at the time, namely 29. (Up to this point, no number outside of the first 15 had a women's slalom won - and the 29 was only topped twice afterwards, with Renate Götschl wearing the highest starting number to date - February 2018 - with No. 42 on March 14, 1993 in Lillehammer ; later Anja Pärson had on December 3, 1998 with No. 36 in Mammoth Mountain, the second highest number to date.). Macchi had already led after the first run and also set the best time in the second run; Monika Kaserer was able to work her way up from 12th place to third place with the second run, while Annemarie Pröll, who was in poor health, was thirtieth (53.02 seconds compared to the best time of 49.30 seconds) and had no chance in the second run came.
• The women's giant slalom in Maribor on January 7th was held in 2 rounds and was therefore the second women's “giant” in the World Cup with 2 rounds (after the one on January 27/28, 1967 in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains ) (In addition, the new "Bibbo rule" was applied, which was approved by everyone). Despite a mishap at the start of the first round (when two buckles of a shoe broke when pushed), the currently dominant Macchi was not deterred and landed her fourth win of the season (she had two second and one third place, giving her 150 points and a lead of 37 points recorded on Pröll). Jacqueline Rouvier fell in the second round and broke her ankle in her right ankle.
• At the men's slalom on January 9th in Berchtesgaden , only 28 of 88 runners were classified.
• At the women's slalom in Bad Gastein, the first round did not give any indication that the matter would develop into a failing race, because almost 75% did not make it into the classification, whereby the fact that many runners risked everything was responsible for this rate to qualify for the Olympic Games - it was due to a combination of aggressive driving style, slope conditions and driving errors. A total of 80 competitors had started, after the first three start groups of 44 starters (Michéle Jacot had not been able to compete - please see article "Injuries") only 12 were classified. Source reference under the title "Lafforgue won the slalom - Annemarie Pröll the silver jug". In: Tiroler Tageszeitung , No. 10, January 14, 1972, p. 9; POS .: headline below
• Although Bernhard Russi came third in the first men's downhill in Kitzbühel (the Sestriere replacement race), the SSV team was otherwise unlucky: Michel Dätwyler fell on the steep slope, Walter Tresch with an excellent intermediate time shortly before the finish.
• On the second descent in Kitzbühel on January 15, there was almost a collision between winner Schranz (start number 10) and Stefano Anzi (who wore the number 08). Anzi fell and after a while continued the race. Schranz was also drawn for the slalom on January 16, whereby the start no. 58 was awarded. He and his ski manufacturer Franz Kneissl asked the ÖSV race director Prof. Franz Hoppichler to swap start numbers (this was possible according to the regulations at the time); Schranz was of the opinion that he deserved this and that it would have given him a chance of winning the combination, but with No. 58 he saw no chance. However, Hoppichler rejected the request, which Schranz did not accept.
• Also (again) in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains the women's giant slalom was held in two rounds, with the race taking place on two days (21st and 22nd January). Pröll won with two best times - Macchi was exactly 9 seconds back after the first run with 1: 43.03, in the second run she achieved the third-best time with 1: 39.03. After that, until the general introduction from the 1977/78 season onwards, there was no longer any two-round women's "giant".
• Some time before the men's giant slalom held in Banff on February 19, an avalanche had fallen over the slopes, plus fresh snow, which is why the conditions were borderline. A second men's giant slalom was even planned in Banff (instead of Val Gardena ), but nothing came of it. There were other problems: After snowfalls worsened the condition of the slopes, further organizational deficiencies came to light and a stream of tourists was expected for February 20, the women's slalom instead of the giant slalom on February 18, followed by the men's and women's giant slalom squeezed February 19th. Marie-Theres Nadig was unable to take part in the giant slalom on February 19 because of flu. The triple victory of the ÖSV women was the first complete podium for them.
• In the women's slalom in Heavenly Valley, only 18 runners came into the classification, whereby a cloudburst the night before the race caused irregular conditions with a softened slope and none of the four ÖSV runners made it into the second round - Switzerland also had to record a total failure. In addition to the successful four French women, only eleven US women and one German (Pamela Behr with 6th place), English (Gina Hathorn with 9th place) and Canadian woman were able to classify it.
• There was still a curious situation at the final races in Pra-Loup , where the women's slalom and the first giant slalom were held as a replacement for Voss , the men's slalom as a supplement to Heavenly Valley - and both women's giant slalom on the morning of March 18 took place. In addition, the ÖSV runners had to make a difficult journey to this final. They started from Turin on March 16 , had to return to the starting point after 40 km due to the impassability of the road after snow drifts, and also had difficulties with the diversion, so that they did not arrive at their destination until 10:30 p.m. (after 1,250 km of driving) .
• All seven women's slaloms were won by French women - and there were only victories for two nations in the women's sector, namely France with twelve and Austria with nine.
• After the FIS board had decided on February 11th not to hold any World Championships, Karl Schranz, who had been excluded from the Olympic Games and who had meanwhile returned to Austria (and was received there overly), declared in writing on February 15th that he would retire from racing (he was then still Professional runner).

Injuries

• On October 12th, Annemarie Pröll fell while training on the Kitzsteinhorn ; she injured her left knee (pulled). Coach Hermann Gamon took the runner to the hospital in Schwarzach im Pongau , where Primarius Verdini determined the degree of the injury.
• On the women's downhill in St. Moritz, Ingrid Gfölner broke her right ankle in a fall, which meant the end of the season for her in the first race.
• Another ÖSV runner, Dora Storm , suffered a broken lower leg on December 7th during downhill training in Val d'Isère.
• At the men's giant slalom on January 9th in Berchtesgaden, the Roger Rossat-Mignod with the highest number of winners in this discipline to date, and between 24, won, Patrick Russel crossed the finish line with his last outing in the first run, had the best time; as he swung down he was lifted into the air by a hump of snow, he fell headlong into the bales of straw, his bond did not come off - the result was a broken tibia and fibula.
• During training on January 15th for the (failed) Lauberhorn downhill run, the Liechtenstein driver Helmut Frick suffered a broken leg.

Cancellations, postponements

• There was a breakdown at the men's giant slalom on December 9th in Val-d'Isère, where the lift (the Télécabine de La Daille ), which was supposed to bring the runners to the start of the 2nd run at 1.30 p.m., will probably be at 13:08 p.m. stopped due to engine overload and many athletes floated between heaven and earth. Only after an hour could the lift level off and the race started with a 55-minute delay (please refer to the article "New rules for races with two runs" with the titles "First run: Haker (No) the big surprise" and " Nerve battle before the start: hour in the lift ”).
• The men's downhill run scheduled for December 19th in Sestriere as part of the Kandahar races had to be canceled on December 15th. A blown foehn storm melted the upper snow cover and turned the lower layer into swimming snow. It was decided to move to Kitzbühel on January 14th (this meant that the usual combined scoring was canceled). The women's downhill run was postponed from December 16 to 17, including the two slaloms by one day each.
• The 42nd Lauberhorn races had to take place without the downhill run planned for January 22nd. Fog had already prevented non-stop training on January 21, but fog was again on the day of the race; For the time being, the start was postponed, but at 1:45 p.m. the cancellation came. The descent was made up in Val Gardena on March 15th, but this time there was no combined classification.
• A women's slalom should have been held in Crystal Mountain on February 27, but wind storms prevented it from taking place.
• One for 4./5. The men's downhill run in Heavenly Valley, scheduled for March, was canceled because the California State Forestry Department finally refused to give permission to cut some trees, so Crystal was being considered as a replacement. On the other hand, they wanted to host the Val Gardena men's giant slalom, which could not be held in Banff, now in Heavenly instead of the downhill.
• Both the men's slalom planned for Heavenly Valley and the women's giant slalom planned in Voss were all run on March 18 in Pra Loup (for women both on the morning of this Saturday). The Voss Slalom was also held in Pra Loup on March 17th.

World Cup decisions

Defending champion Pröll started straight away with a (clear) victory in the downhill from St. Moritz, while Gustav Thöni (though not a downhill specialist) was 14th and Heini Messner (who slipped into the 2nd group) was 22nd in second place provided the Austrians with a podium. Franz Vogler came in 7th for the DSV . The best DSV lady was Rosi Speiser , who started the race with No. 1, in 5th place, 6th place for Marie-Theres Nadig was probably not noticed at this point .

Serious injuries to aspirants for discipline and, above all, overall victories were of great importance for both women and men. For example, the duel between Françoise Macchi and Annemarie Pröll after the Macchi injury during training in Sapporo became a solo for the Austrian, and there were parallels to the 1968/69 season, as did Annie Famose's leg broken to Austrian Gertrud Gabl had facilitated the overall victory. With rank 2 in the second descent in Crystal, Pröll was the overall winner ahead of time with 233 points (the other ranks: Macchi 187, Drexel 102, Mir 94).

Men's

After the races in Sestriere, Gustav Thöni was just 8 points behind the top twelve for the men (as was the case last year). Ex aequo Jean-Noël Augert and Heini Messner led with 40 points, Harald Rofner (15) was 10th, Karl Cordin (11) was 12th . Although Thöni achieved a top result for the first time in the giant slalom on January 10th in Berchtesgaden with rank 2, the tide seemed to be turning in favor of Henri Duvillard , who took over the intermediate lead with the surprising slalom victory and it seemed as if he could get the French federation into him meet the expectations of an overall World Cup victory, because Duvillard was not considered a slalom specialist and had thus won 25 unexpected points. With a surprising 7th place in the first Kitzbühel downhill run, Thöni achieved downhill points that came unexpectedly for the first time in his career (he was now eighth with 32 points; Duvillard in the lead with 69).

After the Banff races (February 18/19), Jean-Noël Augert took the lead from Duvillard (97) with 114 points; Gustav Thöni was (behind Andrzej Bachleda-Curuś , who had won the first and only victory for Poland's men in the World Cup, and Schranz, who is already in "retirement") on rank 5 (82).

Henri Duvillard lost some of the terrain because he had no points in the last three races in the descent, which should actually suit him better, although with the narrow gap of 12 points (taking into account three elimination points (8th place Val-d 'Isère) would even have sufficed twice rank 6 and once 7. Nevertheless, he stayed in the race until the last competition, taking the lead over Augert with rank 2 in the "Giant" in Heavenly with 117 to 114. The decision also came to a head strange in the final races, because instead of Gustav Thöni his cousin Roland could classify himself much better, and there was even a result of the French team leadership against his victory in the Madonna Slalom (March 17th; 4th place brought Augert the Slalom World Cup) a protest about a peat mistake, but the jury did not have time to deal with it because immediately after the end of the race they had to travel to Pra-Loup, where Gustav could win the second R ang behind Roland (and thanks to the fact that the previous leader Augert was only tenth, which was also a deletion) for the first time with 134 points (now ahead of Duvillard [131], Augert [125] and Edmund Bruggmann ) [117]) to the top of the World Cup. Even Bachleda would have had a chance with 105 points, but he was eliminated. The final decision was made with the giant slalom in Pra-Loup, whereby Gustav Thöni also secured first giant slalom crystal with rank 2.

Downhill:
This rating was secured by Bernhard Russi , who after the double downhill in Crystal Mountain (February 25/26) could not be overtaken thanks to victory and second place with 97 points ( Heinrich Messner only finished 14th and 11th). Russi also benefited from Schranz's resignation, because at this point in time (February 15) in the Downhill World Cup with 83 points, the Arlberger was more or less clearly ahead of Messner (55) and Russi (51).

Ladies

A duel developed between Françoise Macchi and Annemarie Pröll , with the Frenchwoman being extremely strong for the time being. Since Pröll gave up in the women's slalom on December 18 in Sestriere (after finishing 30th in the first run) in the second run due to fatigue, the surprising slalom winner and at the time excellently driving Françoise Macchi was able to take over the World Cup lead (75:70) and built it their "triple" (giant slalom, slalom Oberstaufen and giant slalom Maribor (with ranks 2, 5 and 3 by Pröll)) to 150 to 113.

With the victory in the giant slalom in St. Gervais (January 22), Pröll was able to take the lead again with 103 to 87 (Macchi had no chance after about 9 seconds behind from the first run).

But then Françoise Macchi, who had already suffered a crack in her wrist while training the French national team in Tignes at the beginning of November, suffered a serious knee injury on February 2 during downhill training on Mount Eniwa at the Olympic Winter Games in Sapporo , which meant that she had to be out of the Olympics Pröll left the World Cup victory without a fight and announced the end of her career. There had never been a (in this case unforeseen or unfortunate) decision in the overall World Cup at such an early stage in the women's area, because when Pröll won the downhill in Crystal Mountain on February 25 (by the way, her 15th victory in a World Cup race, with which she replaced Nancy Greene as the previous record winner with 14 wins), she could not be caught with six races left. She had a lead of 148 points over the potential pursuers ( Monika Kaserer and Marie-Theres Nadig with 85 points each (Macchi could no longer intervene because of her injury)), so her second overall victory in the World Cup was already certain.

With further victories and top positions, Pröll finally got 269 total points (had 58 points in discarded results) - She had dominated the downhill for the entire season, her “worst” results were twice in seven races. In the giant slalom, of course, the Macchi failure also benefited her, the other competitors scored too inconsistently.

Slalom:
The season was successful for the Tricolore team, but still tragic, because Olympic gold was not won. Otherwise, all slaloms went to France's women, so it was not surprising that four French women were in the first five places in the discipline classification, only Rosi Mittermaier in fourth broke the phalanx - and she had 51 points before the last race (March 17th in Pra Loup), in addition to Britt Lafforgue, who is currently leading with 75 points (before Steurer / 59 - Macchi / 70 was out of action), there is still a small chance of victory - if she had won herself. Lafforgue got only one point with rank 10 anyway, that would have given her an ex-aequo victory, Steurer could not have hurt her with rank 4 either. But it was “only” rank 3.

Premier victories

In 132 men’s and 130 women’s races, the lower runners have been archived as new winners:

Resignations

In addition to Karl Schranz (although he did not announce his final resignation and entry into the professional camp until October 14, 1972), it was Heini Messner who had won the first ever World Cup (the slalom in Berchtesgaden on January 5, 1967 ), but also Bernard Orcel , Alain Penz and Tyler Palmer or Gertrud Gabl , Florence Steurer , Annie Famose and Jocelyn Périllat , who resigned. Around May 20, the injured Françoise Macchi announced his resignation . To Jean-Daniel Daetwyler there until the end of November, the message that he - and his teammates Kurt Schnider and Peter Frei - has retired from racing (have). The German Franz Vogler also declared his "retirement from racing", but surprisingly made a comeback in 1973/74.
There was another resignation from the French team, whose national coach Jean Beranger according to a communication from the State Secretary for Youth and Sport, Joseph Comiti, on March 19. Comiti criticized both the training methods and the behavior of the skiers and stated that the current results are evidence of the need for new leadership.
