Season course

News of death

On January 18, 1991, the Austrian runner Gernot Reinstadler suffered a serious fall in the finish curve on the Lauberhorn in the newly introduced downhill qualification (he was imposed in the barrier tarpaulin) and died of his injuries the following night at 0.43 a.m. in the Interlaken hospital. This led to the cancellation of the downhill run on January 19th and the slalom on January 20th. The World Ski Association reacted to this accident with significant improvements in the route protection.

Two months after the end of the season, the Austrian ski team was hit by another fatal accident: the three-time world champion Rudolf Nierlich had an accident with his car near his home town on May 18th.

Measures before and during the season

The FIS made two important decisions:

  • Qualification runs were introduced in order to allow only the resulting best thirty to start in the actual run. This was also a (hidden) wish of the TV stations. (It was even planned that the qualification descent - not the descent itself - should be part of the combination, whereby the specialty was that one runner behind the 30 qualifiers was eligible to start the slalom and thus for the Combination could be used.) This new regulation proved extremely fatal (death of Gernot Reinstadler and serious injury of Sigrid Wolf ). The FIS reacted to the accident of Reinstadler by canceling the regulation of the qualification runs and set up a working group during the Alpine World Ski Championships in 1991 in Saalbach-Hinterglemm in 1991 to deal with safety priorities. a. Scientific investigations of the advantages and disadvantages of the barrier material and the installation of a professional judge (here the team leaders are overwhelmed with time).
  • There were generally no subsequent dates for canceled races. Only another organizer could take over a race on the same date, but it required the formal approval of the FIS. One formulation was that "only if two out of eight races could not be driven, supplements would be added". But since the season began with several cancellations, the officials in charge asked for supplements in view of the difficult selection for the world championships.
  • Only in view of the organizational deficiencies in the women's races in Hasliberg (see also the article "Cancellations and postponements") was another directive aimed at better preliminary tests for the next races and generally the allocation of World Cup events directly (by the FIS) after tests to undertake the infrastructure and no longer leave this to the national associations. So the FIS representative Heinz Krecek went to Lenk in the Bernese Oberland for an inspection .

At its 55th international conference in Baden, the Austrian Ski Association made a decision that is sustainable from what is now (March 2019). For Arnold Koller, who has resigned after 14 years of presidency, the 48-year-old Vice President, Peter Schröcksnadel, was unanimously elected on June 23 .

More from the FIS to the World Cup

On the occasion of the AIJS ( Association Internationale de la Presse Sportive ) meeting in the Hotel “Central” in Sölden, FIS President Marc Hodler announced a reform of the World Cup for 1992/93. From the catalog of proposals he cited the reduction in the number of races, an earlier start to the season in November, the glacier races that the FIS had already rejected, and parallel slaloms in large cities ( Paris , Tokyo ). Furthermore, women and men should increasingly host their competitions in the same place, canceled competitions would not be made up and the hosting of world championships would also be conceivable every four years. In a counter-speech, Dr. Gerhard Oberlechner, chairman of the "International Racing Team" ("IRT"), which represents the interests of ski producers, binding manufacturers and ski boot companies, said that his organization is the biggest supporter with a contribution of 65 million CHF for service costs, benefits in kind, bonuses and salaries and the like. Have the slightest chance of codecision. Hodler announced that on December 6th, a group of functionaries will meet in Geneva for the first time and tackle reforms. Concrete suggestions to make the World Cup more attractive (again) came from Dr. Oberlechner, who was also general director of the ski company "Dynamic", at the end of January. He called for new responsibilities, a professional commission with a sports director and a marketing and technical department. In addition, a World Cup advisory board with representatives of various interest groups (industry, media, racers, trainers and organizing committees) should be set up to support the World Cup director.

The FIS also hoped to make men's downhill sport more attractive again. The established runners felt no pressure from below, only with Kristian Ghedina as the winner of the European Cup in 1988/89 there was fresh blood. The reason was that all ten European Cup runs planned for 1989/90 (mostly due to lack of snow) could not be run.

Karl Frehsner , who separated from the Swiss Association after the World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, took over a position at the FIS, which its General Secretary Gian Franco Kasper described as having “essential tasks in the field of alpine skiing and especially in the World Cup “Received transferred. In this context it became known that the previous downhill trainer of the Austrian men's team, Kurt Hoch, was to become “FIS Race Director women” from the coming season.

Towards the end of the season (March 1991), the US Ski Association (USSA) threatened not to host any World Cup races in 1991/92. The reason was that the FIS had the date 23./24. November 1991 for the men as the season opener in the USA; the USSA had November 30th / November 1st. December preferred for the women as there were better chances of success there.

Cancellations and postponements

As can be seen from other contributions to the 1990/91 season, there was an FIS decision not to make up for canceled races. Because of the somewhat larger number of cancellations, the FIS scheduled a men's slalom in Oppdal on February 26th and a women's downhill run in Lake Louise on March 15th .

Men's:

  • There should have been a “dress rehearsal” from February 8th to 10th on the 1992 Olympic course designed by Bernhard Russi , the Bellevarde ( La face de Bellevarde ) in Val-d'Isère, but it had to be completely canceled. For the time being, the departure scheduled for February 8th was postponed to the next day starting at 10.30 am due to snow, fog and strong winds. Ultimately, nothing worked again and the Super-G was also canceled.

Women:

  • In Hasliberg (mostly the ski resort was called “Meiringen” or “Meiringen-Hasliberg”, the FIS also used “Meiringen”), a meter of fresh snow and the danger of avalanches caused further problems for the already overwhelmed organizers. So the time course on December 13th could not be driven for the departure planned on December 14th; it was scheduled for the race day at 11 a.m. (the race at 1.45 p.m.), but a race was out of the question on December 14th.
  • On December 15th, the Super-G started at 11.45, but it had to be started at start no. 25, Michaela Marzola , due to excessive danger. You, and previously Kerrin Lee-Gartner and Swetlana Gladysheva , jumped far too far over the section of the route known as the “wall” just before the goal and fell (flown) in the direction of the nearby trees - the barricade measures had been inadequate, but luckily there were no more serious injuries. None of the functionaries saw a danger here, afterwards they spoke of a “miracle” (the FIS representative Heinz Krecek said, “there could have been deaths”). At the time of the cancellation, Kronberger was in the lead ahead of Diann Roffe and Barbara Sadleder . This Super-G was made up on December 16 (whereby Chantal Bournisse with start number 32 still caught the Kronberger, who had already started with number 5, by 0.64 s and Lucie Laroche in third place (+ 0.92 s) No. 40 also delivered a surprise)
  • The giant slalom, which was actually planned for December 16, was canceled and it was not possible to move it to Monday, December 17.
  • A thaw made it impossible to hold the races in the Bregenzerwald (downhill in Bizau , slalom in Mellau ) (after an inspection, the FIS officer canceled the races on December 30th), so Bad Kleinkirchheim (with the consent of the FIS) took over the competitions The qualifying run was scheduled for the first time on January 5th, followed by the downhill run on January 6th and the slalom on Monday, January 7th. - Please also see the article "Injuries".
  • The races that failed in Maribor were taken over by Kranjska Gora; the canceled slalom in Bergen was rescheduled there on January 16.
  • Furano: Both the downhill (10 h) and the Super-G (13:45 h) were ridden on February 24th.
  • Nothing went at all at the designated World Championship location for 1993, Morioka-Shizukuishi: The downhill on March 2nd had to be canceled, the Super-G on March 3rd due to stormy gusts after three attempts and 21 runners started the race ( Traudl Hächer in front of Wachter and Edit Thys ) will be canceled.

Injuries

Men's:

  • Long before the start of the season, namely on August 14, Helmut Mayer tore a collateral ligament in his right ankle while playing tennis in his home town of Afritz (he was twisted) and was treated by Dr. Helmut Huber operates.
  • Atle Skårdal suffered a ligament injury in his right knee in a fall in the giant slalom in Alta Badia (December 16), which meant a five to six week failure. (The Norwegian was able to return to the racing scene earlier than feared.)
  • During training for the departure in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on January 4th, the internationally unknown Jason Gasperono (San Marino) suffered a broken shoulder and fibula.
  • At the second downhill training on the “Streif” in Kitzbühel, the Norwegian Lasse Arnesen (born January 18, 1965), who - after finishing 8th in Val d'Isère - was fourth in each of the other three downhill runs, came in the so-called ( and extremely dangerous ) "Mausefalle" stretch of the route, and suffered a blood clot in his left eye, a broken thumb and a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee. He was taken away by rescue helicopter. Arnesen had already sustained serious injuries from falls at the World Cup downhill in Bormio 1985 and the World Cup downhill in Val Gardena in 1988.

Women:

  • Michaela Gerg fell during training on the Hintertux Glacier ; she sustained a strain of the syndesmosis ligament between the tibia and fibula on the left and was diagnosed by DSV doctor Dr. Ernst Otto Münch in plaster, who prescribed a two-week break.
  • Due to a knee injury after a fall on December 19 in downhill training in Morzine was for Diann Roffe a three-week break from racing predicted.
  • Petra Kronberger was confronted with injuries twice: In the slalom in Morzine (December 22nd) she suffered a torn ligament in her right hand in the first run. She went to a specialist in Bad Reichenhall for treatment and planned to start with a plastic cuff.
  • The second time it was a little more serious; after her target fall on January 29th in the World Championship Super-G ( Saalbach-Hinterglemm 1991 ), she had to skip the races in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (February 7th / 8th) and Zwiesel (February 9th), with which she (especially ) Could not achieve points in the downhill and super-G disciplines. It only started again in Japan.
  • The "downhill qualification" used for the first time on the "Strohsackpiste" in Bad Kleinkirchheim, which was scheduled for January 5th from 12 o'clock, was overshadowed by the serious fall of Super G Olympic champion Sigrid Wolf , in which after the transfer to the clinic of Dr. Christian Schenk in Schruns found tears in the anterior and posterior collateral and cruciate ligaments and meniscus damage in the left knee. The qualification had started in heavy fog, initially with six “star drivers”, then with No. 1, Karin Dedler . Wolf started as the third of the elite runners, only at No. 8, Varvara Zelenskaya , was the interruption and an hour later the final rejection. However, the jury initially rescheduled this qualification for race day, January 6th, but FIS official Krecek forbade this. There was therefore no start restriction for the descent.
  • Katharina Gutensohn had her left knee operated on as a precautionary measure in Munich after her fall in the World Championship Super-G (January 29) in order to continue her career in the next few years .
  • Downhill silver medalist Nathalie Bouvier was affected by an extremely serious injury, who broke both shins and suffered a concussion in the first training run on February 20 for the downhill in Furano during an artificially built jump around 100 m from the finish. Brain swelling was found at Ashikawa Medical University . Since the French woman could not be transported, she had to be operated on in Japan. (The fatal leap was then flattened.)

Worth mentioning

Men's:

  • On the downhill run in Val-d'Isère (December 8th) only five runners from the first starting group (starting numbers 1 to 15) made it into the World Cup, Girardelli was only 71st.On the other hand, the not yet established Lasse Kjus placed with starting No. 69 as a so-called "star driver" (for an explanation of the term "star driver" see Wikipedia article Departure ) in 11. The podium itself was occupied by "veterans" (born twice in 1958, once in 1962), with Leonhard Stock eleven years after his Injury suffered in the same place triumphed.
  • Markus Wasmeier was transferred to the European Cup by the new DSV men's trainer Klaus Mayr (who had previously looked after the women's team). The Schlierseer was still suffering from the aftermath of its fall in February 1987 in Furano and at that time was only among the best in the world in the Super-G; he therefore left Val Gardena on December 17th .
  • The departure on January 5th in Garmisch-Partenkirchen had an unusually small time difference between rank 1 (Daniel Mahrer) and 10 (Jan Einar Thorsen), u. between only 22/100 seconds (the ex-aequo second-placed Zehetner and Skardål were 0.06 s behind; there were also further ex-aequo placements in both ranks 4 and 6); only the eleventh, Peter Wirnsberger was relatively well behind with 0.66 s.
  • The Super-G on January 6th also had extraordinary attributes: Here it was the many runners who finished with high starting numbers in the points, especially the “Top Ten”: 4th place Arnesen with 44, place 6th Ghedina with 37, rank 7 Alphand with 40, rank 8 Josef Polig with 29, rank 10 ex aequo Lasse Kjus with 55 and Urs Kälin with 28, rank 12 Zehetner with 27 and rank 14 Didrik Marksten with 53.
  • There was an extraordinary court appointment in Kitzbühel, both in the local district court and on the Hahnenkamm downhill route, because it was about that of Brian Stemmle , who was led by lawyer Dr. Wilfried Plattner from Innsbruck was represented, brought a lawsuit against the Kitzbühler Sportclub due to “inadequate safety precautions” during the race on January 14, 1989; The expert was Dr. Josef Pichler from Graz .
  • New safety measures had been reported for the Hahnenkamm downhill section: Renewal of the safety nets, modulation of the "Steilhang - Brückenschuss" exit, extension of the network on the crossing at "Hausberg" with a safety fence upwards. The downhill run on January 12th was canceled when Gernot Reinstadler (No. 49) fell. From No. 45 ( Thomas Hangl ) onwards, a fog bank had formed on the “mousetrap”. The race was started with “star drivers” (please see the definition of terms in the Wikipedia article “Downhill”), with Stephan Eberharter in No. 69 on rank 27 (3.27 seconds behind).

Women:

  • With the victory in the Super-G in Altenmarkt on December 9, 1990, Petra Kronberger became the first ever female runner to win at least once in all disciplines.
  • Vreni Schneider did not take part in the downhill in Morzine, although it counted for the combination. She justified her waiver by saying that she felt “too insecure”.
  • The 18-year-old "flatlander" Katja Seizinger, who had already achieved a 16th place in Altenmarkt, announced her entitlement to top places with two best training times (on December 20 before Gladysheva) in Morzine, which she confirmed in the race with 4th place, where they have the high starting no. 29 and earned her first World Cup points.
  • There was also an innovation with regard to the television broadcasts: the first 20 runners were shown from start to finish.
  • However, the Morzine descent was rather sad for Elisabeth Kirchler , she finished 26th (2.88 seconds behind the winner Kronberger), just like her start number. In any case, she had only been tolerated as a private driver and she drew the consequences with her immediate resignation. The next day, however, the Zillertal woman was in a good mood again.
  • The descent at the “Roc de Fer” in Méribel (January 18), built for the 1992 Olympics by Bernhard Russi, was defused before the first time run due to safety risks. It was requested that the Swiss FIS officer Christian Steudler, who had approved (accepted) the route as "harmless" and who was said to have other similar cases, in this position.

Premier victories

Men's:

Women:

  • Ingrid Stöckl , who was also supposed to win the combined silver at the World Championships in the same season, got her only World Cup success in the combination, which was held as a "paper race" on 20th / 21st. December 1990 in Morzine . In addition, her rank 21 in the downhill (2.45 s behind) and 13 in the slalom (3.79 s behind)
  • For Nataša Bokal there was also the first and only World Cup victory on January 12, 1991 at the slalom in Kranjska Gora (she too came a short time later to World Championship silver).
  • Anja Haas was victorious for the first time on February 24, 1991 in the downhill in Furano , where she had driven with the number 16 and as fifteenth of the training had no hopes.
  • Julie Parisien celebrated her first victory on March 22, 1991 in the giant slalom in Waterville Valley.
