Season course
Before the start of the season
The new point system that came into effect last year has been adapted with regard to places four to twenty, i.e. H. reduced - for rank 4 there are only 50 instead of 55 points, etc. In addition, a rule was introduced according to which not every placement in the top 30 is awarded points: If the winning time is exceeded by 8 percent (for combinations by 16%), the Runners are in the rankings, but no points are awarded.
At their congress in Budapest , following a request from the associations of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, there was movement in the question of prize money, whereby a minimum amount was required. On June 11th, the FIS approved an enlargement of the advertising space on the drivers' clothing. On the other hand, the congress participants rejected the FIS board's request that the World Championships be awarded independently in order to prevent corruption. Christian Knauth became the new Marketing Director of the World Association.
The FIS board and all World Cup committees met in Oberstdorf from September 30th to October 3rd and decided on several new introductions:
- The prize money regulations required in Budapest were sanctioned, whereby the World Cup race organizers had to report their endowments by November 15th. With this “compulsory prize money”, the lowest limit for a race was CHF 20,000 (there was no upper limit). Kitzbühel was the highest endowed with around CHF 300,000, in Sestriere calculations were made in US dollars, with 50,000 each being offered for both the giant slalom and the slalom. The respective prize money was initially even announced in the (Austrian) print media when the races were announced. Readers learned that the total in Val-d'Isère is one million, in Val Gardena 300,000 and 700,000 and in Steamboat Springs and Vail 570,000 schillings each.
- For the start numbers in the speed disciplines, there was a "pick-up" rule in which the (current) "Top 15" of the World Cup start list (WCSL), which was called "Group 1", could choose numbers up to 30 ( starting with No. 1 on this list), the runners after group 1 started according to the WCSL. For the finals there was also the possibility that drivers with 400 World Cup points could take part. But there was also a similar regulation for the technical disciplines, but only for the first group.
- There were also resolutions with regard to a “snow cannon obligation” for all World Cup locations from 1993/94, the introduction of glacier races. The lavishly endowed slalom invitation races were rejected.
There was uncertainty because of the TV broadcasts, because the financial institution "Halva", based in Liechtenstein, owned the relevant rights for 43 of the 64 planned World Cup races and came up with price increases of 2,000 percent in some cases. The broadcasters ARD, ZDF, SRG and ORF refused to accept these demands. A meeting was agreed between the EBU as the superordinate body of the European TV and radio companies, FIS President Marc Hodler and the "Halva Group". Incidentally, only the “Sportkanal” partially offered direct broadcasts of the races from overseas, while these races could not be seen “live” on “Eurosport” and certainly not at the aforementioned “Public Service”.
Atle Skårdal, a newcomer, was presented at the traditional press conference of the ski manufacturer "Fischer" in Vienna .
National Associations
- The German Ski Association had to complain about several injuries who only came back to the World Cup after a few races. Please see the article "Injuries".
- The Austrian Ski Association held part of its championships from November 21st. Please see the article "Races outside the World Cup".
There was already news on May 4th, when Alpin boss Werner Wörndle took over the new racing director with the Tyrolean Werner Margreiter (38) for the men (as the successor to Hans Pum, who took over the marketing department) and the Styrian Herwig Demschar (32) for the Damen (successor to Raimund Berger, who has been described as the most successful ÖSV women's coach to date) announced; in addition, the former downhill racer Kurt Engstler as a division coach for the men and Fritz Vallant (who had looked after the US women from 1977 to date); in the women's run Gidi Achorner, Filip Gartner in the technique.
- A special feature was the fact that Günther Mader had prepared "solo" for the season and also completed his training sessions separately during the season.
No euphoric predictions were made for the technical disciplines by those responsible in the women's or men's areas. The men's results in the giant slalom in 1991/92 continued to have an impact, because only Günther Mader, Hubert Strolz, Rainer Salzgeber and Helmut Mayer were among the top thirty in the new world rankings.
The ÖSV downhill skiers found excellent conditions in Zermatt ; For the men, the downhill skiers had been on a fitness course at the beginning of October with accommodation at the “Stanglwirt” in Going ( Going am Wilden Kaiser ), the technicians and combiners had completed their preparations in Hintertux ( Tux (Tyrol) ).
- Theo Nadig from Switzerland became the new men's coach in France; In addition, Michel Vion was brought in from the “FFS” as “Technical Director”.
Statement from the IRT
The International Racing Team ( IRT ) (with 24 supplier companies) also commented on the choice of Japan as the venue for the 1993 World Championships through its new General Secretary Hannes Fürstauer (formerly head of the OC at the 1991 World Championships), although the date was chosen for “sporting reasons and the place was not justifiable ”. It is legitimate that the integrated companies should expect corresponding consideration given a worldwide expenditure of around 71.42 million DM (alpine / Nordic) per season. Fürstauer presented a range of demands that were specified in Munich on February 26th . According to this, there should be a "TV guarantee", because until Christmas it was not known whether the majority of the races would be broadcast. Furthermore, the combination is no longer acceptable in its current form, there should also be fewer races and a concentration on the weekends - on top of that on World Cup-worthy routes and in places with excellent infrastructure. The World Cup calendar should be closed, world championships or Olympic Games should be held before or after, and for these last two events it is a long-term goal of the IRT that the 30 best in each case should automatically be eligible to start; it could not make sense to lock out some of the best runners.
Premier victories
Men's:
- With the fourth-highest starting number (namely 28), with which a men's slalom was ever won, Fabrizio Tescari surprised at his only World Cup success on November 29, 1992 in Sestriere . He also benefited from the fact that Alberto Tomba was too daring and failed. Tescari had never been in the top 15 of a World Cup race before; he, who had actually wanted to be a cross-country skier, came back after a serious injury (in 1989 he smashed his left knee).
- Jan Einar Thorsen scored his first victory on December 5, 1992 at the Super-G in Val-d'Isère .
- Also , Armin took in a super-G, u. between December 22, 1992 in Bad Kleinkirchheim (thus in his closer home), the first victory, where he with start no. 33 caught his compatriot Leonhard Stock by 0.21 s , his first victory.
- Adrien Duvillard , who by the media whatsoever - in terms of its eponymous father, who had counted until the early 1960s, the world leaders - as "Duvillard junior" was dubbed, came in the first turn of on 19 March 1993 Kvitfjell to his first and only victory.
Women:
- She had already been a two-time Super-G world champion and also a world championship silver medalist, but it wasn't until November 28, 1992 that Ulrike Maier was at the top of a World Cup race, the giant slalom in Park City . She even lost a stick in the first run, but still came in third (in this run only three runners in Group 1 were classified among the ten fastest due to the snowfall - and Vreni Schneider was still able to move away in the second run Improve rank 14 to 3).
- Miriam Vogt won her only World Cup race on December 12, 1992 in the downhill from Vail , and about two months later she crowned her season performance with the gold medal in combination at the 1993 Alpine World Ski Championships in Morioka .
- Regina Häusl won her only World Cup victory at the beginning of her career by winning the downhill run in Cortina d'Ampezzo on January 9, 1993; she had a higher starting number, namely 20 ( Stefanie Schuster, who was fifth, was well outside of the elite riders with number 42).
- For Patricia Chauvet there was on 24 January 1993 at the slalom in Haus im Ennstal the first and only victory. It was the first slalom victory for France's women since January 11, 1985 ( Christelle Guignard in Bad Kleinkirchheim ), who now achieved a total of 52 slalom victories.
- The newly crowned downhill world champion Kate Pace was able to confirm her title from Morioka on March 13, 1993 in Hafjell .
- One day after Kate Pace's downhill win, there was another maiden win in Hafjell, when the only 17-year-old Renate Götschl competed in the slalom on March 14, 1993 with the highest starting number 42 for women in this discipline to this day (after the end of the 2018/19 season) ( Françoise Macchi had the highest number at that time on December 18, 1971 in Sestriere with 29).
- "Hafjell for the third" was for Bibiana Perez with the combination victory, which at the same time in the 58th decision of a World Cup combination was not only the first victory, but up to this day (13/14 March 1993) even the first podium for the Italian women's team brought
Season finale
At the end of the season, a World Cup final with special rules was held in Åre for the first time (including: only the first 15 receive points). For the time being, both men’s and women’s downhill runs were canceled. In the men's race, Marc Girardelli was 236 points ahead. Kjetil André Aamodt extended the race he had started in Lillehammer and Oppdal (two wins), won the Super-G (Girardelli in 15th place); The giant slalom also went to Aamodt, but with third place Girardelli finally secured the title in the penultimate race of the season with a 112 point lead. Aamodt took second place in the slalom. The situation was more open for women: Anita Wachter had 50 points ahead of Katja Seizinger , who immediately won the Super-G, placed 1216: 1202 and finally (after fourth place in giant slalom compared to third place von Wachter) went into the final slalom with a four-point lead, but remained without points with 18th place (Wachter received 24 points for 11th place).
Worth mentioning
General:
- On December 4th, in the Henri-Oreiller-Saal in Val-d'Isère, the “Ski d'Or” (“Trophy Cristal Lalique”) was presented to Alberto Tomba, who received 329 points in a poll carried out by 67 journalists. The further ranking of points was: Accola 229, Kronberger 126, Heinzer 81, Aamodt 65, Ortlieb 56 and Compagnoni 55.
- The "International Racing Team" ("IRT"), which represented the manufacturers of skis, ski boots and bindings, elected Hannes Fürstauer, head of organization of the 1991 World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, to succeed Dr. Gerhard Oberlechner as the new General Secretary; Oberlechner had resigned from the chair in August (after 18 years in the ski industry he had made a branch change - “Blizzard” managing director Franz Schemer had taken over the office as “First Vice” on an interim basis).
- For the descent in St. Anton am Arlberg , the resourceful ORF director Lucky Schmidleitner had brought up a 10 m crane camera as a novelty, which was installed at the “Gampeneck” track and traveled with the runners to better convey their speed to the audience can.
- After 1991/92 the men's team of the Austrian Ski Association was not able to achieve a podium place in the giant slalom this season either, although the overall season balance was better (this "failure" was feared before the start of the season; there was an increase in 5th place immediately) in Sestriere by Richard Kröll - last season rank 7 was the best - and it was never the case that a 22nd place was the "best"). Norway even had the most wins (8) ahead of Switzerland and the "one-man team" from Luxembourg (6 each). There was also a little surprise for the women with Germany (9 wins).
Men's:
- Surprisingly, two runners outside of the top groups were able to classify themselves in the front field at the giant slalom in Sestriere (November 28): Tobias Barnerssoi with No. 25 (after the 1st run in 11th place, who drove the third-best time in the second run) was fourth , Richard Kröll with No. 39 fifth.
- Thomas Sykora , who was only No. 41 in the world rankings before the season , drove with high starting numbers at the slaloms in Val-d'Isère (December 6th), where he made his first World Cup podium with No. 27 in second place and No. 23 in Madonna di Campiglio (December 15) in the top of the world. The Swiss Oliver Künzi was also able to move up to 5th place in Madonna with No. 25.
- The French Alain Feutrier achieved a great sensation with second place in the giant slalom in Alta Badia (December 13th), which he won with start no. 31 came out. Feutrier had leukemia four years ago and returned to the World Cup in 1990.
- The Carinthian junior skier Peter Wirnsberger, known as "Zweier-Wirnsberger" because of the similarity of his name to the famous former Styrian downhill skier, had a fatal accident on December 20th in Altenmarkt . He had previously won the downhill race at the Salzburg Championships that day and had “free” skiing with his girlfriend Monika and had a fall. Wirnsberger II was junior world champion 1986 in the combination, European Cup overall winner 1990 and downhill winner 1992, Austrian downhill champion 1989 and had won the title in Super-G in October. At the following Super-G in Bad Kleinkirchheim on December 22nd, the ÖSV runners drove with a black ribbon, and the start number was. 16 left out and instead committed a minute of mourning after number 15 and shown Wirnsberger's photo on television.
- On the second descent in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (January 11th), the Austrians saw a more severe defeat, with Armin Assinger (who was already No. 24) in 7th place, before Peter Rzehak with No. 28 in 2nd place (0 , 31 s backlog) "calmed the mind".
- Xavier Gigandet , as well as the organizing ski club St. Anton am Arlberg , had great luck on the downhill run on January 16: The Swiss racer, who was no.2 and obviously quite exhausted, fell on the somewhat rough finish and slipped under the rods of the ORF cabs, but got away with some abrasions. This was in view of the fact that so much is placed on safety on the track and after the finish there would be no more attention, food for thought for future races. Due to this accident, the President of the St. Anton Ski Club, Herbert Sprenger (also Mayor), promised to convert the entire finish area for the ladies' race on December 18, 1993. The TV booths should also no longer be set up in the same place.
- Helmut Mayer was dismissed from the squad by his association due to his unsatisfactory performance (places from 15 up marked his last starts); According to a report dated July 28, 1993, he was thinking (at short notice) of driving for the Dutch association.
Women:
- After she had already gone from 14th to 3rd the day before, Vreni Schneider improved from 25th to 4th in the slalom on November 29th in Park City with the fastest time.
- There was a surprise at the Super-G in Lake Louise , where Tatjana Lebedewa as a “star driver” (see Wikipedia article “Downhill”) with start no. 55 had set a time that was only undercut by the elite runner Katja Seizinger (start number 7) by a minimum of 8 hundredths of a second.
- Petra Kronberger resigned surprisingly at the end of December 1992. Just a few days ago she was voted Austrian Sportswoman of the Year again. She had already communicated her decision to the coaches before Christmas, the public found out at the earliest from the newspaper reports on December 29th. She explained that this step had already become apparent in the summer, because the past three years had left quite a mark on her body. The hope that the racing atmosphere would bring joy and motivation back to the USA was not fulfilled. She said goodbye to the ski stage on January 8th at the women's race in Cortina d'Ampezzo, accompanied by Gerhard Pfaffenbichler , who is now the “Blizzard” company manager. There should also be no problems solving the sponsorship contracts. The Italian alpine ski director Calcamugi described the resignation as "the most sensational in ski history".
- At the giant slalom in Maribor , the ÖSV was only allowed to start with 9 women, as (due to Petra Kronberger's resignation) only seven were among the top 60 in the world rankings. Among the nine was the Tyrolean debutante Barbara Raggl.
- The downhill run in Haus im Ennstal on January 22nd was "tailor-made" for the Völkl ski brand , as six runners finished in the top eight. During the slalom on January 24th, the computer mistook the two Styrians Karin Buder (4th overall) and Monika Maierhofer and initially pronounced a disqualification instead of Maierhofer after the first run against Buder (3rd).
- Since the ski ladies found the downhill run in Hafjell too easy (“baby run”), 12 Group 1 runners (including Miriam Vogt, Katja Seizinger, Anita Wachter, Chantal Bournisse) went on strike on March 12th. The race was then driven according to the schedule, with Kate Pace proving her gliding skills, while it was for the women of the DSV (8th place for Rosi Renoth was the worst result of the season) and the ÖSV (14th place for Anja Haas was even the second worst result in the History) was defeat.
Cancellations, postponements
General:
- Both the women's and men's downhill races (scheduled at 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.) at the final in Åre had to be canceled due to a heavy storm in the start area. For the time being, there was a short-term shift at 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Men's:
- The departure from Val-d'Isère on December 4th was canceled; in the lead was AJ Kitt.
- A program change was necessary in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. On January 8th, rain prevented the downhill run, on January 9th the organizer was busy getting the Kreuzeck track ready for racing again; the snow that had rained away was replaced by snow from the ice rink - meanwhile the slalom on Gudiberg could be driven on that day. Both departures were made, with Monday (January 11th) added.
- On January 10th, the Kitzbühel ski club had to take note of the cancellation of the Hahnenkamm races by "FIS inspector" Sepp Messner due to lack of snow. St. Anton jumped in, but the due slalom was carried out by the Vorarlberg town of Lech on the other side of the Arlberg.
- The next traditional events , the giant slalom in Adelboden and the Lauberhorn races, also had to be postponed - Veysonnaz took over here.
- The descent in Aspen was canceled after 15 runners (in the lead AJ Kitt) due to poor visibility; the organizer did not agree to a postponement to March 7th and insisted on holding the programmed Super-G. The canceled departure was scheduled for March 19 in Kvitfjell.
- At the races in the Sierra Nevada, the departure planned for March 13th was postponed to March 14th, but there was another postponement to March 15th due to fog. As a substitute, the slalom should have been driven on March 13th, but because of the poorly prepared slope there was a strike by the 15 drivers of the first starting group. Afterwards, however, according to a statement by Paul Accola (“We fired a shot in the void”), it was realized that the drivers had lost the World Championship test.
Women:
- The downhill run that was canceled in Haus was rescheduled on February 26th in Veysonnaz, but the combination associated with the slalom was canceled.
Injuries
Men's:
- Armin Bittner suffered a torn capsule and cruciate ligament during summer training in Chile; but he was able to start in Sestriere and finished third in slalom.
- Markus Wasmeier suffered a broken ankle and a shoulder injury as well as a concussion during training in South Tyrol; his return to work was expected in January.
- AJ Kitt , who returned from a three-week injury break, set the fastest time again in the second downhill training session in Val-d'Isère on December 2nd. (However, there was no race afterwards; please see topic "Cancellations, postponements").
- Rainer Salzgeber suffered a collateral ligament and cruciate ligament rupture on February 27 while leaving Whistler; he started his journey home on February 28th. The reason had been an ever faster piste, which is why there were serious allegations against FIS race director Karl Frehsner in the team captains' meeting. The race was only stopped seven runners before the end for safety reasons, which was called a lazy compromise. Before Salzgeber, Luc Alphand, Denis Rey and Stefan Krauss had already had a serious fall and torn ligaments. There were even threats of legal action against the FIS (Patrick Ortlieb had introduced one after his Aspen fall), which, through its general secretary Gian Franco Kasper, was of the opinion that this was a matter for the racing jury and the FIS would not force anyone to go to the To participate in world cup races.
Women:
- Katja Seizinger had torn an inner ligament in her knee after a quadruple rollover during downhill training during the preparation for the season and was forced to take a four-week break. On November 26th, she tested her fitness in Jerzens and was confident to be back in Steamboat Springs .
- Nataša Bokal tore a cruciate ligament on December 11th during the third training session for the downhill run in Vail .
- Also EVA TWARDOKENS caught it in a downhill training, u. between December 18th in the lower part of the route in Lake Louise, where the Siberian cold prevailed. The 1985 giant slalom bronze medalist suffered a cruciate ligament tear in her left knee. There were two more reports of unhappiness that day, because Anita Wachter did a terrible somersault and Julie Parisien's brother was killed in a car accident. (Wachter was able to take part in the descent.)
- For Pernilla Wiberg the season and with it the defense of the world championship title in the slalom in Maribor (January 6th) was over; In the first run she got stuck on a gate pole, the buttock of the ski binding tore off, and she suffered an Achilles tendon tear. The Swede was flown home via Graz .
- Katharina Gutensohn had a bad fall on January 15th on the descent in Cortina d'Ampezzo ; the diagnosis was: rupture of the cruciate and inner ligament in the right knee.
- Hilary Lindh suffered an injury of the right knee, a torn ligament, a crack in the upper shinbone and cartilage damage in Haus im Ennstal and was diagnosed on January 29th in Vail by the well-known specialist Dr. Steadman operates.
Resignations
In addition to the three-time overall World Cup winner Petra Kronberger , Christelle Guignard also resigned (after the end of the season) . With the gentlemen it was Hans Pieren .
Race outside the World Cup
The dates of the Austrian championships were first published at the end of June 1992. However, there were changes to the venues. The downhill runs for women and men were planned for February 19, the other women’s races from February 21 to 23 in Bad Gastein, and the women’s slalom in Hochficht. With one change, there were already three title decisions for the men from November 21st. First of all the slalom in Jerzens , where Michael Tritscher was national, but Bernhard Bauer , who was better in the running time, became the so-called “International Slalom Champion of Austria”. From November 23, there was the giant slalom and Super-G in Hochgurgl (municipality of Sölden ) with victories for Helmut Mayer and Peter Wirnsberger II .
Innerkrems was ultimately the venue for the downhill runs for women and men on February 19) and the women's super-G (February 21); the giant slalom scheduled for February 22nd had to be canceled due to a snow storm. In the Super-G, the Russian runners Tatjana Lebedewa , Swetlana Gladysheva and Varwara Selenskaja finished in places 2 to 4 behind the winner Barbara Sadleder , while Cornelia Meusburger and Veronika Stallmaier were ranked 5th , who together became “Vice-Champions”. However, they refused to accept the medals, so the association threatened them with fines and a ban if they did not pay. Since the women still sent the payment confirmation to the ÖSV office in Innsbruck by fax in good time, they were nominated for the races from February 26th in Veysonnaz. The slalom championships were made up for on February 23 in St. Michael / Lungau with 94 starters, with Christina Riegel from Burgenland winning ahead of Karin Köllerer and Renate Götschl (World Champion Karin Buder finished 6th).
