The 1988/89 season of the Alpine Ski World Cup organized by the FIS began on November 26, 1988 in Schladming and ended on March 15, 1989 in Shigakogen . 28 races were held for men (10  downhill runs , 4  super-G , 6  giant slaloms , 8  slaloms ). There were 26 races for women (8 downhill runs, 4 super-G, 7 giant slaloms, 7 slaloms). There were also three combined scores for men and two for women.

With regard to his 86 World Cup victories, probably one of the greatest in the Ski World Cup, Ingemar Stenmark , resigned. He achieved the 86th victory of his career in the giant slalom in Aspen on February 19th - and his last archived result in the world cup prizes is 4th place in the giant slalom in Shiga Kogen on March 9th.

The highlight of the season was the 1989 World Cup in Vail .

Season course

Premier victories

  • Almost nine years after his downhill victory at the 1980 Winter Olympics , also thrown back by injuries, Leonhard Stock won a world cup race for the first time on January 6th on the downhill in Laax (after four second places). He used his higher start number 23 in this new snow race. It was also strange that the then silver medalist Peter Wirnsberger also came second here. (Stock had won a parallel slalom on December 28, 1986 at the Teufelsberg in Berlin, but this race was only part of the Nations Cup.)
  • The Super G third in the 1988 Olympics, Lars-Börje Eriksson , took his first victory in this discipline in Aspen on February 18 . It was also the first victory in a speed competition for the Swedish men's team.
  • With Ole Kristian Furuseth , who had already shown great slalom results from December and also won the slalom in the combined competition at the World Championships in Vail in 1989 , the first victory was a matter of time - at the finals in Furano he was victorious twice, including on March 5th won his first victory in slalom - and also won the discipline World Cup in giant slalom.

Injuries and illnesses

Men's:

  • Hans Enn suffered a shattered shoulder after his motocross motorcycle fell in a fall. Enn was hit a second time when he tore a cruciate ligament in his left knee at the giant slalom in Kirchberg in Tirol on January 10 after just a few goals in the first round, but two weeks later, on January 23, he had a fitness test passed and was nominated for the ÖSV selection at the World Championships.
  • Günther Mader , who had his own supervisor with Sepp Hanser, had a knee operation at the end of September.
  • Bernhard Gstrein was absent at the start of the season, the sprint and parallel slalom on the 27th / 28th of the year under the heading “Race outside the World Cup”. October in Sölden. On October 23rd, near Haiming (Tyrol), he drove his car off the road and crashed into a group of trees - the car only came to a stop after about 20 m; Despite several injuries, Gstrein was able to save himself from the vehicle, which then exploded and burned out. He was given bed rest until at least October 28th (according to other reports, a two-week training break ordered by the doctor). In view of all the circumstances, he got off lightly and was able to win an FIS slalom in Lech am Arlberg on December 4th.
  • Stefan Niederseer suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in a fall on January 6, 1989 in Laax in the triple victory of the Austrian men mentioned elsewhere. (Source reference see PLEASE in the article "Premier victories")
  • Brian Stemmle had a hard fall on the second Kitzbühel descent. When exiting the steep slope, his left ski got caught in the safety net. Since the binding did not open, the twisting effect worked up to the waist. The Canadian suffered fractures in the pelvis and acetabulum, intestinal injuries and internal bleeding.
  • For Armin Assinger the season was over after a training crash on January 18th in Wengen. He tore ligaments in both knees and left ankle and was operated on for two hours at the Innsbruck University Hospital. A second operation took place on January 24th. between the right knee.
  • The last men's downhill run on February 25th in Whistler took place without world champion Hansjörg Tauscher , who had suffered an ankle injury after a training fall.

Women:

  • In Super-G training on the Zillertal Glacier, Elfi Eder tore a cruciate ligament on November 9 and was taken to the Innsbruck University Clinic.
  • After the fall in the last training session on December 1st, during which she lost her ski and was thrown through the “compression” section of the track, which left her shoulder bruised and an injured foot, Elisabeth Kirchler was on the descent in Val-d'Isère not at the start, but instead of her Gaby Rainer (she had been allowed to take part in the preparations with the squad at her own expense) could not use her chance and did not finish.
  • Michelle McKendry had a bad fall on the 2nd Downhill of Lake Louise and was hospitalized with numerous injuries.

Cancellations and postponements

  • The season should have started on August 11th and 13th in Las Leñas with two men's runs, but the cancellation was made on July 27th due to lack of snow (one day later it was snowing in the Argentine ski resort). These runs were awarded on October 21 in Telfs by the World Cup Committee to Val-d'Isère and Kitzbühel (January 13). In addition, long before the normal start of the season, namely on July 29th, various new December dates for the women were set: The downhill run from Altenmarkt was brought forward from December 22nd to 16th, the Slalom from Courmayeur from December 13th to 21st. December postponed - and the Super-G planned for December 17th in Valzoldana was also to be brought forward .
  • But then there were again program changes due to lack of snow. The races scheduled for November 24th to 27th in Les Menuires and Val Thorens (one giant slalom and one super-G for women and men) have been moved to Schladming , which had applied for the super-Gs , and the giant slalom by one postponed a few days. The decision was made after inspections near the weekend of 19/20. November and after numerous phone calls between various responsible persons (FIS, ÖSV, trainer, Planaibahn) Schladming was determined on November 19th. The French organizers hoped that the races in Val-d'Isère, which were planned a week later, would improve the snow conditions, otherwise they would also take place in Schladming. But Val-d'Isère, where there should be downhill runs from December 2nd to 4th (two for the men, one for the women), remained without snow, but the races were at least partially successful there. However, both men's downhill runs had to be canceled or relocated: The one for December 3rd, this was the Las Leñas replacement, was canceled on November 29th and scheduled as a catch-up in Val Gardena. The other, planned for December 4th, was postponed to December 5th, whereby various trainers (Helmut Girardelli, Hans Pum) criticized organizational deficiencies, but a total fall in the weather (heavy rains, hurricane gusts) led to the cancellation in the morning. The World Cup Committee Garmisch-Partenkirchen with 6/7. January one downhill each (January 8th: Super-G) determines what was confirmed again by the FIS on December 19th.
  • The for 10./11. The races planned in Crans-Montana on December 1st had to be canceled on December 1st and were moved to Altenmarkt. The new program was set with one descent each on December 14th and 15th and the slalom (which is also part of the combination) on December 16th. Although there was an eleven-day compulsory break for the women, the matter could not be solved otherwise according to the women’s World Cup boss Heinz Krecek because of the long distances. (Please see last paragraph in the article “Stock cheers Kirchler up” according to “AZ” of December 2, 1988, page 25 and the following footnote :) Altenmarkt had to take the Crans-Montana departure planned for December 14 at 11 a.m. ( heavy wind, increasing snowfall; twice there was a one-hour delay in departure). The combination was called "Combination Altenmarkt" with downhill and slalom on 15./16. December, which Vreni Schneider won thanks to the 34th place in the downhill. The unusual Altenmarkt descent was added to the already dense Grindelwald program.
  • The men's races in St. Anton am Arlberg were planned in such a way that the descent should begin on December 21st. The unsafe weather, which had already prevented gusts of up to 90 km / h training on December 19, prompted the organizers (race director Reinhard Hauser) to have both slalom and downhill races for December 21 (it was scheduled at 1 p.m., at 10 a.m.) there should still be a time run) to draw the start numbers. The fact that the slalom was left for this Wednesday was a mystery because the weather was beautiful. However, certain parts of the course had not been properly prepared and more professionalism was required (a mobile professional jury should make the best decision for the sport, free of personal interests, which undoubtedly seemed to exist here). Due to the regulations, a new draw had to be made for the actual downhill run (which Höflehner won with a hundredth of a second - this would have been 11, after the renewed draw it was 14).
  • After the for 7./8. January in the World Cup calendar (please see footnote 6 = Arbeiterzeitung from November 19, 1988, page 21) men’s competitions (Downhill, Super-G) had to be relocated from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Laax and the women’s Pfronten races (Downhill, Super-G), Oberstaufen also had to cancel the women's giant slalom scheduled for January 22nd. Tignes jumped in for Pfronten, while - as had already been planned when the cancellation was made - a ski resort in Japan, it was Shigakōgen on March 8th, closed this gap. This means that there were no Alpine World Cup races in the Federal Republic of Germany this season.
  • In the default venue Laax there had on January 7 with departure at 13 h should be another men's downhill, which was not held because of fog and in Wengen was grudge.
  • The departure of the ladies in Steamboat Springs was postponed by one day due to fresh snow and also at the request of the ladies who complained of fatigue.

Other occurrences

  • The fact that the ÖSV sold advertising rights to the state of Tyrol for 3 million schillings (the advertising should be read on the racing addresses) brought about protests from the other state associations with the argument, for example, that a Styrian racer like Helmut Höflehner could not carry a "Tyrolean advertisement" . The vortex subsided again, as the inscription "Austria" was also placed on the dress, therefore Austria was also advertised.
  • Katharina Gutensohn was banned for a week by the ÖSV women's trainer Raimund Berger on January 9th (for the time being), which meant that she could not compete in Grindelwald . The reason for this was that she did not live in the team hotel, but wanted to be with her husband. Berger justified this with the fact that other married people also adhere to the basic principles issued, there are no exceptions for the Tyrolean.
  • Marc Girardelli broke two marks in his two downhill victories on the Lauberhorn: On the one hand, he improved the eight-year-old record of 2: 27.91 that Toni Bürgler set on January 24, 1981 with 2: 26.54 - and he was the first racer to achieve a "double downhill victory" in Wengen (Plank and Klammer in 1976, Read and Müller in 1980 and Höflehner and Wirnsberger in 1985). In addition, "Gira" lowered the previous day's record again, now the winning time was 2: 25.76.
  • The last women's downhill run before the World Championships (January 19 in Tignes ) had the smallest field in World Cup history with only 49 registered and ultimately only 37 participating runners and was also one of the shortest with a length of 2,100 m. It was also surprising that the Tignes races were broadcast on French television, but not in France itself. Kathrin Gutensohn was allowed to start again from the ÖSV after her suspension.
  • The two women's runs in Lake Louise brought the same result on the podium with Figini, Walliser and Gerg.
  • It was not until February 25 that it became known on the occasion of the Super-G in Steamboat that Ulrike Maier is three months pregnant and that she had traveled home. At the end of the season there was additional information that the Rauris woman had already informed the women's head coach Raimund Berger when she left the World Cup location Vail - and she announced that after the birth of her child she might want to compete again in the next season.

World Cup decisions

Men's

Marc Girardelli found his strength again after the 1987/88 season, which was affected by injuries, and he became the first skier to win in all (current) disciplines in one season. He owed the majority of points (139) to the descent, in which, of all things, he won first victories in the classics in Kitzbühel and Wengen. He had skipped both Val Gardena runs at the beginning of the season because he had not started and left after he had drawn the number 1 for the first of the two (father Helmut felt he was being treated unfairly in three cases: starting number drawing was incorrect , 1.30 start interval for the first 20 and why Tannenreisig in such good conditions?) His second strongest discipline was the slalom (106 points), whereby he, who achieved only 15 slalom points in 1987/88 and thus ranked in the current FIS world rankings 38, benefited from Tomba's failure in the second run when he won in Sestriere .

After the first ten races of the season, Pirmin Zurbriggen was ahead with 122 points at the end of the year , followed by Girardelli (92) and Armin Bittner (62). The successful extended Kitzbühel weekend, 17 competitions had now been held, brought a change in leadership. “Gira” was in the front with 194 points, followed by Zurbriggen (172), Tomba (98) and Bittner (94) - and the Luxembourger by choice continued with an extremely strong week (victories in Adelboden, both Lauberhorn runs and the combination there (also 12 points thanks to 4th place in the local slalom)). He also benefited from the fact that Zurbriggen had caught the flu, so that the Swiss could not go to the start at all, or only convalescent. So the intermediate result was 306 points compared to 231, all others (Tomba as third had 133 points) were extremely clear. With 2nd place in the downhill from Aspen (February 17th) Girardelli not only won the Discipline World Cup, he was also able to further distance Zurbriggen, who was only 15th. And the giant slalom in Aspen (with Stenmark's last World Cup victory) was another step, because it came second and Zurbriggen was canceled. By winning the Super-G in Whistler on February 26th, the Luxembourger from Vorarlberg finally secured the overall World Cup; he now led with 388 points compared to 272 from Zurbriggen.

Downhill:
Girardelli won - as already mentioned under the overall decision - this discipline ranking; this happened for the first time in his career. He started in Aspen with 114 points against 89 from Höflehner; Zurbriggen with 78 points still had a mini-chance. These two pursuers came in 5th and 15th respectively (as also mentioned in the text above) only in Kitzbühel with the victory there (after three second places in previous seasons, including between Val d'Isere, Åre and Furano) achieved its first downhill points this season. In Wengen he became the first ever winner of a double descent, with his 1.92 s lead here also being the largest since Franz Klammer's 3.54 s over Herbert Plank on January 11, 1975. One reason for his downhill strength is said to be a reorganized build-up program in which he had stopped athletics training.

Giant slalom:
Only the final races in Shigakōgen clarified the discipline victory that was expected between Zurbriggen (71 points) and Nierlich (70) (Girardelli had theoretical chances with 66 and Stenmark with 55 points), but then Furuseth (57 ) as the winner of the race on March 9th to the somewhat unexpected profiteer. Zurbriggen also got 82 points, and because both runners had the same number of wins, namely one, the number of second places was used, in which the Norwegian was 2-1 ahead.

Slalom:
Here, too, Shigakōgen was the place of the decision: three runners had a chance of this little ball, whereby Girardelli, thanks to his great start to the season (70 points in the first three races), had led against 44 from Bittner and 40 from Tomba and now also with 106 ahead of Bittner (102) and Tomba (100). "Gira" remained without points, Bittner had to stay ahead of Tomba. He succeeded in doing this with third place and 0.22 seconds ahead of the fourth-placed competitor - for the second time in the history of the men's world cup, a small World Cup ball went to the DSV or to Upper Bavaria (before Markus Wasmeier was in the 1985/86 Super- G).

Combination:
Girardelli could not score in St. Anton, the first of the three programmed and executed combinations, due to his failure to slalom, but won the other two. Zurbriggen as the St. Anton winner then also recorded a zero number due to his failure in the slalom in Kitzbühel , so that Wasmeier took the intermediate lead with 32 points. Accola could have intervened in the decision in Wengen, but the previous top three took the podium in the order Girardelli, Zurbriggen, Wasmeier, which meant the second discipline victory for “Gira”.

Ladies

After the Grindelwald races (17 decisions), Vreni Schneider was already clearly ahead with 257 points. The second placed Ulrike Maier (144), Carole Merle (141), Michela Figini (129) and Maria Walliser (112) only had theoretical chances. She took the final overall victory on March 3rd in Furano with the sixth victory in the sixth slalom. With 311 points compared to Figini with 239 she was unattainable. The only flaw for the Elmerin was third place in the giant slalom on March 4th in Furano, so she only won 13 of the 14 technical competitions . Nevertheless, Schneider cracked with the additional combination victory (Altenmarkt), thus 14 wins, not just the previous record of eleven Season wins, which had been set up by Annemarie Moser-Pröll in the 1972/73 season, but even that of Ingemar Stenmark 1978/79 with 13 wins.

Downhill:
Michela Figini completed the season almost in a consistently high-quality manner as team colleague Schneider: Six wins, one third, one fifth. However, in Maria Walliser she had a persistent pursuer in her own camp. This won the other two runs, plus three second, third and fourth places (only 11th place at the start of the season in Val d'Isère did not fit into this collection). Nevertheless, it was not until the penultimate descent (February 19 in Lake Louise) that Figini was unassailable.

Super-G:
Carole Merle stood with three victories in a row (the victory in Schladming on November 26th was her first in the Super-G) on January 20th after the Pfronten replacement race in Tignes (January 20th) with her 75 points were unassailable, because there was only one race left. Olympic champion Sigrid Wolf (46 points) was five points below her current target. Wolf won the final race (Steamboat Springs on February 25th) and so she was missing those five points. (Merle had not been able to start in the USA due to an injury.) It was noticeable that the dominant Swiss women in this discipline could not have a say this time.

Slalom, giant slalom:
Due to the superiority of Vreni Schneider from the start, the competition was left behind. Both times, the overall success was certain after four races and 100 points each, because at least one of the other women could have delayed it at this point if she had always finished second just as persistently. But in the “Giant” Svet 56 and Ulrike Maier had 55 points - it would have practically required total failures by Schneider. In the slalom, Monika Maierhofer was already separated by 57 points, which meant that overtaking only had to be classified in the category of illusions.

FIS meeting in Telfs

At this on 22./23. At the October conference, the decision was made to host fewer World Cup races in the 1989/90 season. In addition, suggestions were made according to which, in addition to the Group 1 drivers, who were entitled to a fixed starting place, a maximum of four drivers per nation may start. In addition, the first group should no longer be determined according to the FIS points, but rather the current World Cup placements. There was also once again the suggestion to run slalom in three runs (the worst one will be deleted).

Innovations in the associations

  • The US professional ski circus had secured the services of the Mahre twins with lucrative contracts, who did not want to return to the usual World Cup because of the long European season.
  • On April 25, the Austrian Ski Association signed a contract with Kurt Hoch, who had been the head trainer of the Norwegian Association since 1984, and the Yugoslav technical trainer Filip Gartner, who had been responsible for the technical group under Hoch for the past 2 years in Norway . Both of them were scheduled to start work in June. The previous slalom and giant slalom trainer, 37-year-old Hans Pum, advanced to become the overall manager of the men. The engagement of a ladies trainer was still pending, because the intended Franz Wolf had to cancel for professional reasons (Mayor of Pettneu am Arlberg ). But this position was taken over by Alois Kahr (again - after he had worked for the men for a year). There was a meeting between the Alpine Director Werner Wörndle and the 15 new trainers in the “Römisch-Deutscher Kaiser” hotel in Barwies ( Mieming municipality ), in which the goals were set out in more detail.
  • However, the time was too short to build a new team for the 1991 World Championships. During the season, with regard to the endeavor to provide an overall World Cup winner, the idea came up that Hubert Strolz should have a separate special supervisor (possibly the ex-trainer Karl Kahr), because Sepp Hanser was overburdened as a coach for Günther Mader. The first fitness courses began around June 6, and the first snow training sessions for men and women began on June 20. and on October 9th, the entire men's and women's alpine team, including the offspring, moved into training quarters in Sölden on October 9th , to train on the Rettenbachferner in the coming week; only the women of the European Cup team evaded to Hintertux.
  • The Fédération Française De Ski (FFS) carried out a rehabilitation of the “rebels”, who had been excluded from the French association after the “uprising” in early December 1973 in 1974, on the occasion of the Val d'Isère races and took Jean-Noël Augert , Patrick Russel , Henri Duvillard , Roger Rossat-Mignon and Britt Lafforgue from now on again.

Statistical

The superiority of the Swiss women, which can already be seen under “World Cup decisions”, achieved a new record with 24 wins this season: After the SSV women had already won all eight runs in the previous year, they repeated the same thing and also won all giant slaloms and slaloms (add the two combinations); almost contrary to their Super G performance with “only” two third places. Now they were with 290 to 251 wins ahead of the Austrians.

Resignations

Race outside the World Cup

  • Finn Christian Jagge won the slalom on Mount Buller ( Mansfield Shire , Victoria ) on August 17, 1988 ahead of Tiger Shaw and Bernhard Gstrein .
  • Rudolf Nierlich won a slalom twice during the training sessions of the ski teams in Australia; first in Guthega, then in Thredbo , there before Ole-Christian Furuseth. A giant slalom held on August 27, however, was canceled in the first run due to poor visibility and failure of the timekeeping.
  • On October 27th there was the first sprint slalom in history on the Rettenbachferner in Sölden (the worst of three runs was deleted; only the top 15 in the slalom eligible to participate), which Armin Bittner won ahead of Thomas Stangassinger and Robert Žan (Stenmark and Petrovic brought none of the three runs to the finish). A day later, a parallel slalom was held, in which Günther Mader won ahead of Martin Hangl, Ingemar Stenmark and Helmut Mayer. The event ran under the title “Pirelli Sprint Cup”.
