The 1980/81 season of the Alpine Ski World Cup organized by the FIS began on December 7, 1980 (men) and December 3, 1980 (women) in Val-d'Isère and ended on March 28, 1981 in Laax . In the men's race, 31 races were held (10  downhill runs , 11  giant slaloms , 10  slaloms ). There were 28 races for women (10 downhill runs, 9 giant slaloms, 9 slaloms). There were also five combination evaluations.

The best five results counted for both the overall World Cup and the Discipline World Cup; the exception was the combination in which only the best three results were used for both men and women. Switzerland was able to win the Nations Cup for the first time and the women's cup for the first time.

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

Season course

Worth mentioning

  • In the slalom and giant slalom, the so-called “super bibbo rule” was generally applied to the second run for both women and men, according to which the fifth of the first run started (up to the first) and then went on it continues from rank 6 to the end of the classification.
  • The Austrians' weakness in giant slalom continued and started in the first race on December 4th in Val-d'Isère . The print media are preparing their readership for the fact that there will be a “World Cup opener without hope” and that it is currently important to familiarize oneself with such results. The ÖSV women not only did not finish on the podium (again after the previous year), they also achieved a single top ten result with one place ( Anni Kronbichler , starting number 50 on January 22nd in Haute-Nendaz ) , on the other hand, they did not even make it into the World Cup in three races. Also in the slalom and in the combinations there was no podium place for her, the slalom was the lowest point on January 23rd in Crans-Montana , when only Elke Kunschitz appeared in 36th place (12.09 seconds behind) of 38 classified. - The fact that Annemarie Steiner was the only one in the ranking as twenty-first in the slalom in Piancavallo (December 13th) was also due to the shock effect after Anni Kronbichler's almost strangulation (please see more under «Injuries»). With regard to the combinations, it was of course those from Limone Piemonte /
    Piancavallo and Crans-Montana, in which none were rated.
  • Even the men of the Italian federation, who were usually among the best in the world in the technical competitions, only achieved third place in the giant slalom and - thanks to Herbert Plank's second place in the Kandahar combination - two podium finishes.
  • At the ÖSV , downhill specialist Franz Klammer had to continue as a driver in the second starting group and only qualify for the races within the team. On the other hand, Werner Grissmann 's fixed starting positions were in danger. Apart from the injury sustained on December 19 in St. Moritz (please see article on “Injuries”), the Lienzer was also coached by Karl Kahr on January 30 (before his departure from St. Anton am Arlberg) for five days banned because the day before he had worn a ski boot («Dynafit») for which he had not signed a pool contract, whereupon he commented that he was "robbed of his last chance".
  • The two-time junior European champion and world championship combination bronze medalist 1972 Torill Fjeldstad not only set her personal best with second place on December 12, 1980 in the downhill run from Piancavallo , a runner from Norway had never been so good in the World Cup (she achieved also two third departure places). A Norwegian women's victory in a "great" competition had been there only in the slalom at the World Ski Championships 1958 in Bad Gastein by Inger Bjørnbakken given (only Merete Fjeldavlie was on March 8, the 1992 super-G of Vail the first lady of Norges Skiforbund which won a World Cup race).
  • For the first time, the Luxembourg Ski Association appears on the podium; Marc Girardelli from Vorarlberg, who started for the small state, was given start no. 29 Second in the Lauberhorn slalom on January 25th.
  • There was also practically an overlap, because on February 7th there was a men's downhill run in Schladming (but it had to be canceled; please see article «Cancellations, postponements»), and on February 8th at Kirkerudbakken in Oslo it was Ingemar's Stenmark won slalom.
  • The Borowez men's slalom did not count when the FIS world rankings were drawn up for the coming 1981/82 season because there was an irregularity (10 meters too much difference in altitude). During these resolutions at the FIS Congress in Puerto de la Cruz, it was also considered that the race itself should not be rated for the World Cup afterwards, but this did not happen. However, such a measure would not have changed Phil Mahre's overall World Cup victory.

The first victories

Men:
The outstanding new winner was Alexander Schirow , who was successful at the end of the season with three giant slalom and one slalom victories, starting with the "giant" in Furano on March 14th, but Valery Zyganow was in chronological order with his downhill victory on March 5th March was the first winner for the Soviet Union in Aspen . Harti Weirather was successful for the first time in the second run in Val Gardena (December 15) (he was able to get two more runs for himself). At the giant slalom in Ebnat-Kappel (January 4th) Christian Orlainsky was the surprise, because he was ninth after the first run (with start number 23) - and due to the start order it seemed that the “super bibbo” rule Hans Enn (first after the first round and now also in the lead) cannot be beaten.

Women:
The outstanding premier winner was undoubtedly slalom bronze medalist Erika Hess , who won the gate run in Schruns on January 13th (after finishing 4th in the first run) and thus the start of six victories of the season in slalom and one in giant slalom - and one had a great career. Their victory (also with a 1.73 s lead) was after the last performance shown - u. a. In addition to top places in the World Cup, four successes in FIS and European Cup races (including on January 6th in the giant slalom in Saanen- Schönach), no big surprise.

The first victory for the then Czechoslovakia and for Jana Šoltýsová on the downhill in Altenmarkt on December 17th was also to be noted . Also Cornelia Pröll , the youngest sister of Annemarie Moser-Pröll (on January 8th in Pfronten ), Gerry Sorensen (on February 8th in Haus im Ennstal , this with start number 30) and Elisabeth Kirchler (on March 13th in Aspen ) came to their premiere successes, each in one descent. Tamara McKinney also celebrated her first victory in the giant slalom on January 22nd in Haute-Nendaz , which was followed by two more - and, as is well known, a very successful ski career.

this and that

Men's:

  • During the first training sessions in Val d'Isère, Franz Klammer was “unfamiliar” with his ski brand by using “Blizzard” skis. However, this may also have been due to the bankruptcy of his previous ski manufacturer «Kneissl», because he left the Austrian ski pool, which is why other ÖSV runners switched to other products; Leonhard Stock chose “Atomic” and Hannes Spiß chose “Kästle”.
  • On January 4th in Ebnat-Kappel Ingemar Stenmark retired for the first time after four years in a World Cup giant slalom (and this time already in the 1st run; most recently he was in the 2nd run on January 9th, 1977 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen fell by the wayside). In addition to the winner Orlainsky, there was another surprise man: the 17-year-old Pirmin Zurbriggen with start no. 46 Seventh.
  • Garmisch-Partenkirchen was blessed with one meter of fresh snow on January 7th, which led to the cancellation of the first training session: The piste commandos did an excellent job, so that the races took place on schedule. The then unknown Helmut Höflehner delivered a talent test in fourth place with N ° 21.
  • At the slalom in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Christian Neureuther , who had actually resigned in the summer (because of his marriage to Rosi Mittermaier on August 6th ) returned to the World Cup (according to his statements after 2 days of training as preparation) in the first run - ultimately finished sixth. - The slalom was very failing - of 81 who had started, 55 were able to start the second run, 40 were classified in the end - and there was a total failure of the ÖSV runners, but also some. a. Ingemar Stenmark, Andreas Wenzel, Martial Donnet, Joël Gaspoz and Peter Lüscher were out (no Swiss rider made it into the World Cup). Another noticeable feature was that it was the shortest men's slalom in World Cup history to date (winning time 80.07 sec); the so far shortest also had on Gudiberg , u. between January 6, 1975, when Piero Gros won in 82.40 seconds.
  • In the combination Morzine / Garmisch-Partenkirchen (January 6th / 10th) Ireland won its first World Cup points by finishing ninth with Robert McKee (McKee was last, but only nine runners came into the ranking)
  • The slalom in Oberstaufen was also unsuccessful (only a third of those who started came into the evaluation in both rounds). This was due to the not optimal slope preparation . There were also new slalom poles from the USA that had a ball joint near the snow surface, which is why they were hardly torn out. However, the work of the gate judges was made more difficult because the bars straightened up again even after being driven over (thus a gate mistake).
  • There was a "downer" for Christian Neureuther, who had just returned, who was forbidden by the DSV from appearing due to non-compliance with the ski pool regulations. On January 13th, the DSV racing commission decided not to want to use Neureuther at all “for sporting reasons” because he “didn't fit in” with their ideas about rebuilding the team. For sports law reasons, Neureuther had also "concluded business contracts with his wife Rosi that contradict the FIS licensing regulations, and protests from other countries must be feared." Even a “B license” was not possible for Neureuther, as the DSV decided three years ago, with regard to the ski pool, not to issue any such to its runners. In addition, racing director Klaus Mayr and men's head trainer Günter Osterrieder feared that "Neureuthers business obligations would have required a special status that would have compromised the rebuilding"
  • There was a curious situation on January 14th with regard to the cancellation of the training on the Streif despite the fine weather and the best slope conditions, whereby the question of blame was shifted back and forth between the technical delegate of the FIS and the jury. This downhill run in Kitzbühel was “steeped in history”, because Ingemar Stenmark competed in a World Cup downhill run for the only time in his career. There had been a protest by the US team leadership against his appearance "because of reporting too late", but this was rejected with 3: 1 because "almost 50% of all runners reported too late" (see also the explanations in the subject area “World Cup decisions”) Even after the descent, the criticism of the slope preparation, which began too late and was not carried out properly, persisted. Even Karl Schranz was surprised at the fresh snow that had not been cleared away , while commentator Harry Valérien on ZDF called for the race to be stopped.
  • On January 15, Gustav Thöni also took part as a forerunner in the Hahnenkamm training, albeit in the role of an actor in the Italian film “Der Downhill Runner” (correct title rather Un centesimo di secondo ). In it he plays a racer who, with his successful comeback, awakens the will to live of a seriously injured teammate (obviously an allusion to the drama about Leonardo David ).
  • The Hahnenkamm run was also a TV show, because ORF director Luki Schmidtleitner expanded the broadcast even more; In addition to the well-known time-shifted recordings of the start, the mousetrap and the steep slope, there was also a “spy camera” from the area in which the runners were preparing before the start.
  • While there were at least nine runners in the so-called “World Cup-Kitzbühel Combination”, there were only four in the “Original Combination” (winner Bohumír Zeman ), which was not part of the World Cup . In this combination there was again (after this had already been the case with the combination on December 7/8, 1979) a double victory for Phil ahead of Steve Mahre.
  • In the Kitzbühel Slalom, the runners with higher start numbers found a more grippy slope in the first run (Group 1 had to ski in icy conditions), so that it was a surprising intermediate result with Franz Gruber (No. 28) ahead of Vladimir Andrejew (however No. 1 ) and Toshihiro Kaiwa (No. 30), while the eventual winner Stenmark was only 9th.
  • In the Kandahar slalom on February 1 in St. Anton, a sensation also seemed to be looming when the slope on a shady slope had a layer of ice in the first run and the runners in the first group had to be careful. The conditions improved later, the slope had become more grippy, several runners with higher numbers benefited from it, and with start no. In 57 Wolfram Ortner even took the lead at half-time , while Ingemar Stenmark finished 12th, 0.77 s behind. But the Swede still drove to victory, Ortner was able to save 5th place . In the combination only five runners were rated, so that the Belgian Henri Mollin got eleven points.

Women:

  • For the start of the World Cup, the descent in the “criterion of the first snow” on December 3rd in Val d'Isère, three of the six eligible runners at the ÖSV should have obtained their right to participate in the last time trials, but they fell or made gate errors. So the times of the previous day were used.
  • The giant slalom in Limone Piemonte (December 8th) was borderline, because there was a totally icy slope, which, in addition to the winner Marie-Theres Nadig , the Italian runners also got along well, which is why all attempts by other nations to force an abort failed.
  • In the slalom in Altenmarkt, Roswitha Steiner surprised with start no. 43, she was best of the ÖSV team in 11th place. In contrast, the SSV women had a bad day, six were eliminated - and the only classified was Zoë Haas in 29th place, which meant last place, but in Bormio Ingrid Eberle's 21st place was another major defeat for the ÖSV Representatives. It was noticeable that two runners from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Bojana Dornig and Anja Zavadlav , came in ninth and tenth in the World Cup.
  • In Schruns there was a meeting of the spokespersons of the ski women ( Hanni Wenzel , Cindy Nelson , Irene Epple, Ingrid Eberle ) with FIS President Marc Hodler and World Cup boss Serge Lang on January 12th , in which it was about reducing theirs Racing program, upgrading of the women's races and better dates (weekend!) Went.
  • At the women's downhill run in Pfronten, which was finally held on January 8th (although only a single copy), the Austrian runner Annemarie Steiner came in 12th as the last of all starters (with no. 58). There was no good news However, it was for the DSV representatives - not only that Heidi Wiesler came in 12th as the best, there was also criticism of their downhill suits. The “smiles” of the German runners' racing suits ended on January 12th in Schruns when Irene Epple came in third. Marie-Therese Nadig achieved the best time in this descent, but she had made a mistake on goal. But with Doris De Agostini a team mate was victorious.

Injuries

Men's:

  • On December 12th, Anton Steiner was seriously injured in a fall during downhill training in Val Gardena . He was first flown by helicopter to Brixen , then to the university clinic in Innsbruck . A shoulder dislocation and a suspected collateral ligament tear in the knee were diagnosed there.
  • After the training sessions in St. Moritz on December 18 were accompanied by falls (however, due to snowfall and poor visibility, therefore a break after 19 runners) and on December 19, Werner Grissmann suffered chest and shoulder injuries in a fall, came the final training session Uli Spieß had a hard fall on December 20th. During the operation on December 22nd in Innsbruck, tears of the inner and outer ligaments as well as two cruciate ligaments were found (no damage to the menisci), so he was out for the entire season. Spieß's recovery time was extended due to a pulmonary infarction.
  • The departure on January 10th in Garmisch-Partenkirchen resulted in two serious injuries: the Austrian Leonhard Stock , who was put on a "neck and thorax cast" and a cast on the chest after examinations in Innsbruck, and the Canadian Ken Read : for this he was The examination results were devastating because, in addition to a broken nose and cuts, he had suffered a cruciate ligament and an internal ligament tear in his left knee, which marked the end of the season. He was operated on on January 13 in the Saint Paul Hospital in Vancouver and it was said that he would have to pause for six to eight months before he could start training again. Read announced that he would use this time to continue his studies in economics at the University of Calgary . Stock's comeback took place on February 18th at the Austrian downhill championships on the Kemathöhenpiste near Radstadt , where he finished fourth.
  • A training fall on January 15 in Kitzbühel went relatively lightly for Erwin Resch , who broke his rib; the doctor prescribed a break of three weeks.
  • For Peter Müller , the season seemed to be over with the fall on the Lauberhorn downhill run on January 24th: he was in the lead at the last interim time, risked everything in the entrance from the S to the finish slope and landed in the straw bale; Although the dislocated shoulder could be "straightened" during the helicopter flight to Interlaken and he left the hospital in the evening, a three to four week break from racing seemed unalterable. He returned to the slopes earlier than expected; he had arrived for the training sessions for the downhill run on the Planai planned for February 7th , which then could not take place (please see article «Cancellations, postponements»), but on February 21st he took part in the Swiss Championships in Wangs-Pizol part, where he was second (ex aequo with Walter Vesti ) behind Toni Bürgler in the downhill run before he started the two downhill runs in Aspen (ranks 4 and 5).

Women:

  • When entering the slalom in Piancavallo (December 13th) Anni Kronbichler suffered an injury to her upper lip and was still lucky: she was caught by a wire rope from a banner that had just been drawn up, which split the upper lip twice. A German doctor brought her to the clinic.
  • On December 22nd, Christa Zechmeister tore a ligament while entering an FIS slalom in Hinterthiersee .
  • When Lea Sölkner that came from Slalommetier and initially even with fastest times in downhill training in Val d'Isere had sit up and take and this was ranked 4th can confirm also second in a FIS giant slalom had become in Hinterthiersee on December 21, An injury sustained in December turned out to be more severe than feared. The Styrian was operated on around January 10th in Hohenems on a torn ligament in her ankle; a capsule injury was also diagnosed.
  • With regard to Ingrid Eberle, the all-clear had been given. Her injury suffered during an FIS goal run in Switzerland turned out to be a strain, not a torn ligament, during an examination at the Hohenems hospital, so that she should be fit again by the time the Pfronten races.
  • Hanni Wenzel fell in the slalom on January 31st in Les Diablerets after a few meters when the binding broke, and she broke the little finger of her right hand.

Cancellations and postponements

Men's:

  • The bad weather conditions in Val-d'Isère prevented the downhill run planned for December 5th from being carried out (despite waiting for a long time, there was a cancellation with the option of either this downhill run or the planned giant slalom on December 6th.) But also this date did not hold; After lengthy debates, the team captains decided to depart on December 7th. However, this came close to a "lottery" (initially wind and fog), because only the winner Uli Spieß , the three Canadians Ken Read , Steve Podborski and Dave Irwin as well as Toni Bürgler came as runners of the first starting group to World Cup points (fourth-placed Canadian Chris Kent had No. 37, Pete Patterson on 6 on 25, Dave Murray on 7 on 27 and Gerhard Pfaffenbichler on 8 on 50!). The canceled giant slalom was programmed for February 3rd in Schladming and will also take place on that day. The planned combination was canceled for the time being due to the lack of the giant slalom, but it was then combined with the one in Ebnat-Kappel . As a precautionary measure, Schladming was also given a consignment to carry out another descent if Wengen could not carry out both of its descents.
  • However, Schladming was unable to descend on the Planai on February 7th (postponed to February 8th) due to the great dangers (on February 7th the drizzle had fogged up the glasses so that the drivers would have no view. on February 8, freezing temperatures had turned the slope into a sheet of ice) did not perform (this in contrast to the women in Haus im Ennstal ) (February 8). Since Franz Klammer was not qualified for this descent due to the training results, it was not surprising that the spectators shouted that the Carinthian “had taken revenge”. Ultimately, it was decided on February 13th to make up for the aforementioned descent in Aspen, where a descent was already planned according to the racing calendar. There, artificial snow ensured that the races could be carried out. Although there was a snow storm on March 4th, which did not allow any training, the races could then be run according to the plan.

Women:

  • There should have been two runs in Pfronten on January 6th and 7th. Rain had softened the track considerably in some places. Training and time trials could not take place. At first there was a strange postponement in that the “second departure” was to take place on January 7th and the “first departure” on January 8th. But already on January 6th the date January 7th had to be dropped because the necessary time runs had to be stopped (just at the moment when the first forerunner started on January 6th, heavy snowfall and storm set in). Finally, on January 7th, two training runs could take place, in which Cornelia “Conny” Pröll demonstrated her winning prospect with best times each. The Pfronten cancellation required new programming, with Crans-Montana with the dates 18./19. January was planned, but in the end, in view of the heavy snowfall and also the poor visibility on the descent, the organizer from western Switzerland had to be happy to at least stage its own event, with the slalom being one day late.
  • The Pfronten descent could then be added, u. tw. on January 29, on the slopes L'Etret of Megeve after a day there before the organizer his departure had performed.
  • While the slalom in Zwiesel was scheduled to take place on February 3rd, the giant slalom had to be postponed by 24 hours to February 5th due to heavy snowfall.
  • The giant slalom in Maribor on February 10th had just been completed “with a bit of indulgence by the runners” due to the poor slope conditions, but the next day nothing worked. The women lined up on the finish slope, but the race management quickly decided to cancel. The organizers defended themselves three days later against the allegations and the blockade. For the time being, March 25th in Kranjska Gora was mentioned for the supplement, but the giant slalom planned there from the outset and the Maribor slalom were moved to Wangs-Pizol. (Source: please refer to the heading "End of the season" in this article)

End of the season:
The final races, including the parallel slaloms, which are only part of the Nations Cup, were planned for March 26th to 29th in Kranjska Gora , but it was already springtime there - the men's races to Laax , the women's races to Wangs-Pizol (incl canceled giant slalom from Maribor), and both parallel slaloms moved to Laax on March 29th.

Resignations

Claudia Giordani , Kathy Kreiner , Edith Peter , Regina Sackl , Nicola Spieß or Mauro Bernardi , Sepp Ferstl , Erik Håker , Herbert Plank and already in January 1981 Andy Mill and in February Christian Neureuther . In addition, Carinthian technology specialist Manfred Brunner , who started for the Dutch Ski Association but was unsuccessful, ended his career.
