Worth mentioning
General:
- For the first time, World Cup points were awarded to the first 30 in the ranking, whereby the point system that has been in effect since the start of the World Cup in January 1967 (and slightly adapted from 1979/80) has been fundamentally changed. Instead of 25 points for the win, 20 for 2nd place and 15 for 3rd place etc., there were now 100, 80 and 60 points etc. for the podium. In this context, the FIS point lists were created taking into account the Continental Cup results. The first draft of the changed point lists even included that in races with two runs, all those runners who were classified in the top 30 in the first run and thus qualified for the second run should receive a point even if they were eliminated. (In contrast, however, there was a "trend reversal" only one year later, after which there was even a time limit in order to be awarded World Cup points.)
- The political changes with the "disintegration" of the "Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia" (Slovenia became independent on June 25, 1991) and the dissolution of the Soviet Union at the end of December 1991 brought corresponding innovations to sport (and thus the Alpine Ski World Cup). As one of the first major world federations, the FIS took on a pioneering role by having its 19 board members on the weekend of 9./10. November 1991 unanimously decided to admit Slovenia and also admit the three Baltic states. Above all, membership of Slovenia was an (inevitable) necessity for the FIS because of the (and proven) World Cup venues located there.
- The long-time FIS official Heinz Krecek had returned to the German Ski Association, where he was now the ski pool director.
Men's:
- Armin Bittner was (temporarily) suspended from the DSV because he refused to wear an advertising sticker on his racing clothes or equipment. Therefore, he needed an exception to participate in the World Cup races (in the slalom in Park City he was fourth). On November 26th, a test case began in the Bittner versus DSV case at the Munich District Court I.
- His first ever World Cup victories brought Paul Accola his first overall victory in the World Cup and the first victories in the Super-G and combined rankings, which should also remain his only ones in this regard. In addition, his 1699 points lasted for eight years; It was not until 1999/2000 that Hermann Maier was able to improve this mark with exactly 2000 points.
- The maiden win of AJ Kitt ended an almost eight-year winless race for the US men (most recently Bill Johnson on March 11, 1984 also in a downhill, between in Whistler) and was also the first podium since Felix McGrath ranked second in the slalom of Åre on March 19, 1988.
- One of the longest slaloms in terms of winning time was recorded on December 10th in Sestriere , where Alberto Tomba won in 120.49 seconds; the last time it was Armin Bittner with 121.93 s on August 12 in Thredbo ; the longest ever was with 127.73 s (February 28, 1970 by Alain Penz in Vancouver or Whistler).
- The runners Michael von Grünigen , Rainer Salzgeber and Christian Mayer were noticeable at the giant slalom in Alta Badia (December 15), who finished in 5th, 7th and 9th with the high start numbers 20, 29 and 35. * At the giant slalom in Saint-Gervais With Didrik Marksten's maiden victory, three more runners with higher start numbers were able to surprise, with Markus Wasmeier ranking 3rd with No. 18, Rainer Salzgeber with No. 19 on 9 and Helmut Mayer with No. 30 on 10th. On the other hand, this last race before Albertville meant that the ÖSV men had to go to the Olympic Games for the first time without a win. (Please refer to the source in the article “Premieresiege” on Marksten-Sieg; Title: “Alberto Tomba's alarm bells are ringing”.)
- Of the nations used to win, the team of the Austrian Ski Association was only able to achieve one podium place in terms of technical disciplines, it was 2nd place on January 13th at the slalom in Garmisch-Partenkirchen by Hubert Strolz . With just one win of the season (Günther Mader on March 8th in Panorama Super-G, which ended a series of 35 races without a win), the team fell far short of expectations (which, however, disguised somewhat due to Patrick Ortlieb's downhill Olympic victory were). There was a low point in the giant slalom on January 4th in Kranjska Gora, when Hubert Strolz came in 22nd and Helmut Mayer in 28th, the last with a gap of 6.61 and 9.66 s.
Women:
- At the first slalom in Lech (November 30th) Vreni Schneider drove from 8th place (0.80 s behind) to victory (0.08 s ahead), whereby she (together with the third Blanca Fernández Ochoa) a five-fold Austrian lead ( Kronberger, Ginther, Elfi Eder, Strobl, Maierhofer, this ex aequo with Fernandez) broke through, despite not setting the best time in the second run (Parisien was 0.11 s faster).
- At the giant slalom in Santa Caterina (December 8th) there were several sensations, starting with Deborah Compagnoni in second place (although already with no. 8 in the inner circle of elite runners, but in view of the fact that she was still in her parents' hotel the evening before instead of relaxing worked as a waitress, not every day) - but other women with high starting numbers also made it to top positions: Barbara Merlin came in fourth with No. 61 (and after finishing 11th in the 1st run), Christina Meier-Höck with No. 26 the fifth and Martina Ertl with No. 40 (after rank 14 in the first round) in tenth place.
- Problems on the part of the Italian TV broadcaster RAI arose before the departure in Santa Caterina, so that the race could not start until 11.45 a.m.
- The World Cup troop was stationed in Narvik in an unusual way at the end of February , namely on the luxury liner "MS Narvik".
Others before the season
- In addition to Sigrid Wolf and Anita Wachter, the ski company "Kästle" and Michaela Gerg were able to announce an entry at their presentation in Vienna.
- At the season forecast on November 15, 1991 in Vienna, ÖSV President Peter Schröcksnadel announced that the budget for the Olympic season was set at 54 million schillings (31 million for the alpine, 23 million for the Nordic). For the racers, every World Cup race counts for elimination.
- The ÖSV technicians prepared in Park City.
- For the (canceled) Kandahar races (December 21/22) a new start ramp was built at Kapall and a new route was also chosen in the lower area in consultation with the FIS officials, which should ensure an attractive jump to the finish line.
- The Kitzbühel Ski Club named the cost of the Hahnenkamm races at 8 million schillings; There were about 10 km of fence, 2 km of rebound foam material, 1 km of safety nets to be stored - 18 television towers had to be erected. Approx. 450 press representatives and 300 TV and radio employees were accredited by the Tyrolean Chamber of Commerce, which is responsible for tourism advertising - and there were also 1,250 accreditations for racers, supervisors and service people.
Death
Alois Kahr (born April 12, 1942), who has been working as a women's technology trainer at ÖSV since 1988, died on the evening of December 10 in an accident in his BMW on the way home from an FIS slalom on the Reiteralm when he was driving into a Intersection collided with a truck. Kahr was in 1969/70 with the British, then with the Yugoslav and from 1972 with the Austrian Ski Association (women's European Cup coach 1974-1976, from 1987 downhill assistant coach of the men) and in between with the Styrian regional association.
Premier victories
Men's:
- Paul Accola, already mentioned under “worth mentioning”, started his success with a “double” (giant slalom and slalom in Breckenridge on November 29th / 30th, 1991). In addition, he won all three combination ratings.
- The victory of AJ Kitt in the descent from Val-d'Isère on December 7, 1991, also mentioned under "noteworthy", remained his only top place on the podium.
- With the victory in the slalom in Madonna di Campiglio on December 17, 1991 Finn Christian Jagge advanced to a contender for Olympic gold, which he actually won.
- Sergio Bergamelli's sensational victory on January 4, 1992 at the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora , with start no. 34, remained his only victory for the Italian and was at the same time his first top ten place in the World Cup.
- Patrick Holzer in the Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen on January 12, 1992 was the second runner of the Italian Association, after Michael Mair nine years earlier (December 22, 1982 in Madonna di Campiglio), who won a Super-G.
- With his first career victory (slalom on January 13, 1992 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen ), Patrice Bianchi was able to (also) contribute to Hubert Strolz's reputation as “eternal second”.
- Didrik Marksten managed a surprise (his starting number 39 is proof enough) with his giant slalom victory on February 2, 1992 in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains , which also meant the only podium in his entire career (after the first round Marksten still in 3rd place) ..
- William Besse on March 6, 1992, departing Panorama.
- Kjetil André Aamodt , as a counterpart to his teammate Jagge, as the current Super-G Olympic champion (and already silver medalist at last year's World Championships) delivered his first ever victory on March 15, 1992 in Aspen .
Women:
- Annelise Coberger achieved her first victory (January 14, 1992 in the slalom in Hinterstoder ) and also the first podium places for herself and for the New Zealand Ski Association , who also won the slalom Olympic silver shortly afterwards.
- Deborah Compagnoni's first victory in her great career came on January 26, 1992 at the Super-G in Morzine .
- For the Styrian Monika Maierhofer there was the first (and only) success in the traditional slalom of Grindelwald on February 2, 1992 , after she had finished second eight times.
- Merete Fjeldavlie achieved something special thanks to her victory in the Super-G on March 8, 1992 in Vail , because she was the first Norwegian to win a World Cup. (The first podium ever for the Norwegian women's team was Torill Fjeldstad with 3rd place in the slalom from Garmisch-Partenkirchen on January 4, 1975; she was also the winner for a first, second place on December 12, 1980 in the downhill from Piancavallo - and a total of four podium ranks . Besides her, it was only Julie Lunde Hansen, who finished second in the giant slalom in Klövsjö on March 14, 1990, who had made it to the Norwegian women's podium; she had three in total. Fjeldavlie Incidentally, on January 26th, 1992, with 3rd place in the Super-G in Morzine, he made the eighth podium in chronological order.). The first really big success for the Norwegian women dates back to 1958 when Inger Bjørnbakken became the slalom world champion in Bad Gastein ; another world championship medal had been given in 1972 for Toril Førland in combination.
Financial
The men's prize money totaled 13.5 million, of which there was most of the giant slalom in Alta Badia with around 112,500 CHF; in Kitzbühel (and this for each race including the combination) CHF 100,000 was distributed, Whistler had even “programmed” a training bonus of CHF 6,875. The distribution among the top placements was also different - for the most part, only the "top 3" were able to collect 60 - 30 - 10 according to a key, while in Kitzbühel and Bad Kleinkirchheim 50% went to the winner and the runners-up with 25 - 12.5 - 7 .5 - 5 could share the remaining premium.
The men's prize money in Breckenridge had been reduced to a total of CHF 18,000 - and the money issues continued in Val-d'Isère , where the drivers announced a strike and were not supposed to start on December 7th at 10:30 am these are not increased. FIS President Marc Hodler, on the intervention of Race Director Serge Lang , promised that the World Federation would pay CHF 18,000. For the time being, the “Club de ski Val-d'Isère” only paid out the amount initially determined (in French francs); it was said that the FIS would pay later.
Cancellations and postponements
Men's:
- Large amounts of snow forced a change in the program sequence in St. Anton am Arlberg with the slalom being held for the time being, but ultimately all competitions had to be canceled. Despite the insurance, the ski club suffered a loss of 2 million schillings. From a sporting point of view, Alberto Tomba initially seemed to be “the big winner” thanks to these cancellations, but shortly afterwards, after a telephone survey, the FIS spoke out in favor of catching up on the St. Anton races. These were awarded for the descent to Kitzbühel (January 17th) and the slalom and the combination to Garmisch-Partenkirchen (January 13th).
Women:
- Piancavallo had to cancel on November 25th due to the fact that the slopes were unusable after the rain. Initially, it was planned to run the races in Veysonnaz , but Lech was awarded the contract on November 26th . - these races were broadcast on ORF , on SRG (but only the 2nd run of the slalom on December 1st) and on Eurosport .
- For Val-d'Isère , which took place on 7./8. December had a downhill and a Super-G on the program, Santa Caterina stepped in .
- Already on December 3rd, Arosa found itself unable to offer its 14/15 December competitions (Downhill, Super-G).
- Snow chaos prevailed in Serre Chevalier , at least on Saturday, December 21st, the downhill run could take place - rather surprisingly, Petra Kronberger won. The giant slalom that was first planned for this day was held on December 22nd. postponed, but where the weather forced a cancellation.
Injuries
- At the “Invitation Grand Prix of Giant Slalom Runners” on December 31st, two runners suffered serious injuries: Peter Runggaldier a cruciate ligament tear and an inner ligament tear, Jeremy Nobis a cruciate ligament tear. (Please see article "Races outside the World Cup".)
- Veronika Wallinger tore a ligament while playing volleyball.
- Sigrid Wolf , who was preparing for the coming season after her serious injury on January 6, 1991 in Bad Kleinkirchheim, tore a collateral ligament during training in St. Vigil, South Tyrol, which (according to initial reports) gave her a week's break. (Ultimately, however, her injury turned out to be more serious and was the reason to ring in the end of her career.)
- Deborah Compagnoni , who fell in the giant slalom a day later after her gold medal in the Super-G at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville and suffered a ligament injury in her knee, was thus out of the season. But you could start again in the next season.
Resignations
Three greats in downhill sports - Michael Mair (this one in Milan at the end of June 1992 ), Peter Müller and Peter Wirnsberger - resigned. Wirnsberger drew the consequences of not being considered for the Olympic Games and announced his immediate resignation on February 2nd. He said he would be lacking motivation for the post-Olympic speed races. He then acted as a coach in Albertville (or in Val-d'Isère). Also Regine Mösenlechner , Blanca Fernández Ochoa and Sigrid Wolf were special sizes. There were also Karin Dedler , Zoë Haas , Traudl Hächer and Felix Belczyk , Steven Lee , Jonas Nilsson and Danilo Sbardellotto .
Race outside the World Cup
On December 31st there was an “Invitation Grand Prix of giant slalom runners” (also known as “Germany Grand Prix”) in Garmisch-Partenkirchen in front of 5,000 spectators, with the best 17 runners in the world, with the competition after one by Andreas Wenzel precisely worked out mode expired. The winner was Alberto Tomba, who received 50,000 DM for it. The second, Hans Pieren, received approx. 21,000 DM - the other places went to Marc Girardelli and Armin Bittner. However, there were also two seriously injured, because Peter Runggaldier suffered a cruciate and medial ligament tear, Jeremy Nobis a cruciate ligament tear.
A "super downhill race" with the 30 best downhillers in the world was planned by Serge Lang for January 30th in Bormio, for which even Pirmin Zurbriggen , who retired almost three years ago, was committed and prize money of around CHF 11,250 for the Winners (approx. 7,500 for the second and approx. 3,850 for the third), but the FIS board that met in Val Gardena rejected this plan.
