Season course
Injuries
Men's:
- During the giant slalom training in Ushuaia (Argentina) on August 23, Peter Fill suffered a torn tendon of the abdominal muscle adductor and a damaged tendon of the thigh muscle. After an operation and several months of convalescence, he made a satisfactory comeback with 8th place on the Lauberhorn downhill run (January 16), with which he qualified for the Olympic Games.
- Technician Marcus Sandell fell off the piste while training the Finnish team in Pitztal on September 28 and fell on a scree field, injuring his kidneys, spleen and spine and breaking his nose and wrist. A kidney had to be removed.
- The Super-G of Lake Louise (November 29) ended for downhill world champion John Kucera with an open tibia and fibula fracture ; this injury ultimately brought him a three-year absence from World Cup races.
- End of the season for Max Franz , who tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during the first training session for the downhill run in Beaver Creek on December 2nd without falling.
- Beaver Creek also caused injuries for Pierre-Emmanuel Dalcin and Rainer Schönfelder during downhill training and for Jean-Baptiste Grange during giant slalom training . Dalcin suffered a torn cruciate ligament and spinal ligament in both knees, a concussion, facial lesions, a broken spoke in his right hand and a shoulder subluxation. Schönfelder, with a tear in the left meniscus in his left knee, was able to return to the slalom in Zagreb on January 6th, but his journey there only lasted 12 seconds (he had fallen far behind in the starting lists and was number 32). In Grange's case, it was a cruciate ligament tear in his right knee.
- When Tobias Stechert was after he on December 16, this first training session for World Cup downhill in without falling Val Gardena found had infringed on the outer ski for a long jump with a landing at the MRI, the second cruciate ligament injury of his career.
- The Canadian Jean-Philippe Roy suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in the first round of the giant slalom in Val d'Isère on December 13th.
- Not enough injuries for the Canadian team: Just a few days later, on December 18, François Bourque tore his cruciate ligament on his right knee at the Super-G in Val Gardena without falling, which was the second time in a row for him a World Cup winter ended at the earliest stage due to injury.
- At the giant slalom in Alta Badia (December 20), Sandro Viletta , who started at number 23, injured his left hand in the first run, was 19th, but suffered a collapse at the finish (probably caused by the unusual cold at minus 15 degrees Celsius that also bothered other runners); Nevertheless, he was able to compete for the second round and finished in 25th place.
- On January 8th, Giorgio Rocca suffered a groin injury while training in Domibianca; as he failed for the upcoming Olympic Games, he announced the end of his career.
- Didier Cuche broke the thumb of his right hand during the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora (January 29) when he fell just before the finish (and triggered the timekeeping, but was disqualified).
Women:
- Lara Gut got off relatively lightly on September 29th after a fall during training in Saas-Fee , in which she dislocated her right hip. This was adjusted again under general anesthesia in the Visp hospital , after which the Ticino woman was brought to a specialist in Bern for more detailed clarifications , where no further injuries were found after x-ray and MRI examinations.
- On October 24th in Sölden, when she made her comeback in the World Cup (after her injury while entering the slalom in Zagreb on January 4th, 2009 and only taking part as the defending champion in the World Championship giant slalom on February 12th), she fell on the start list Nicole Hosp (No. 23) slipped back and fell out for the rest of the season with a tear in the cruciate ligament in her right knee.
- For Resi Stiegler , who was seriously injured not quite 2 years ago in Lienz and then also in summer 2008, the season ended on November 19th during giant slalom training in Copper Mountain due to a broken thigh and shin in her left leg.
- Sandra Gini , who started with No. 21, suffered a cruciate ligament tear in her left knee when she fell in the first round of the slalom in Aspen (November 29).
- The Canadian team (after John Kucera and Jean-Philippe Roy) was hit by injuries again, this time for two days in a row during the training sessions for the downhill in Val-d'Isère when Larisa Yurkiw tore both cruciate ligaments in her left knee on May 16. December and Kelly VanderBeek also suffered a cruciate ligament rupture in their left knee on December 17th.
In addition, the unknown French Aurelia Urbain suffered a cruciate ligament tear.
- The season ended on January 8th for Maria Holaus , who suffered a fracture of her right lateral ankle shortly before 9 am while retracting the first jump for the “Val d'Isère replacement descent” in Haus im Ennstal from 11.30 am on the same day .
- On the descent in Cortina d'Ampezzo , Tina Weirather tore her fourth cruciate ligament in a fall.
- In the Super-G in St. Moritz (January 31), a fall of Nadia Fanchini, who had already been plagued by health problems in the past (wrist fracture in 2006, cardiac arrhythmia before the 2007/08 season) led to a cruciate ligament rupture .
Return of injuries
On the downhill in Lake Louise (November 28th) Mario Scheiber , Andreas Buder and Hans Grugger returned to the World Cup with ranks 40, 47 and 56. However, Buder broke off the comeback on January 9th because of the "disappointing results so far and also health regressions".
Further happening
Men's:
- Didier Cuche achieved the 100th downhill victory for Switzerland on November 28th in Lake Louise.
- Carlo Janka achieved a “triple” with victories in combination, downhill and giant slalom in Beaver Creek. A week later, however, a "hat trick in the elimination" followed for him in Val d'Isère, where he also suffered a cut in the face and a shoulder bruise when he fell in the first round of the final giant slalom.
- On December 18, 2007 Super G World Champion Patrick Staudacher achieved his first (and only) podium in the World Cup with third place in the Super G in Val Gardena.
- On the descent in Bormio (December 29th), Mario Scheiber, who was (for the time being) runner-up, was disqualified because he had a shoe that was 2 mm too high (rule B3.2), and the next day it turned out that an insert wedge had been mixed up.
- The start of the giant slalom in Adelboden on January 9th was postponed for the time being, then the run was shortened - nevertheless the first run had to be canceled after 58 runners. The lead was Davide Simoncelli before Marcel Hirscher and Ivica Kostelic located.
- On January 10th, Julien Lizeroux was able to drive from 12th place to victory in the Adelboden slalom.
- The downhill run in Wengen on January 16 brought the first Lauberhorn podium for Marco Büchel in his farewell year with 3rd place. The Austrian team had to accept the disappointing result that was expected, because Christoph Gruber hit a fence while driving in (bruise below the knee and a severe concussion), with the exception of Klaus Kröll , who came in 9th as the best, the other starters were from had a gastrointestinal virus.
- Didier Cuche, who skied a technically new ski called KERN, became the third runner, after Hermann Maier and Stephan Eberharter , to take the “double” in Kitzbühel with victories in the Super-G and in the downhill. The surprise of the Hahnenkamm Downhill was 2nd place for Andrej Šporn as well as Ivica Kostelić (5th place) and Natko Zrnčić-Dim (10th place) two Croatian runners among the top ten.
- With regard to the men's super combination on March 5th in Crans-Montana , the descent could not be started due to the wind gusts, the start time was pushed back until 2.30 p.m. before it was canceled. For the time being, it was planned to use the upcoming special descent in Kvitfjell on March 6th (also) as a descent for this combination and then to drive a slalom. Ultimately, however, it was completely deleted. Because only two super station wagons were driven this season, there was no small World Cup ball.
- On the descent in the final in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , Mario Scheiber not only missed his first victory by 0.02 s (this went to Carlo Janka, who took back the lead in the overall World Cup standings with 54 points ahead of the renouncing Raich), but stayed the ÖSV team for the first time since 1991/92 without a win in World Cup descents.
- Marco Büchel celebrated his farewell to the racer in the Super-G, where he competed in an elegant dark tailor-made suit (with shorts). It was already known at the time that he would stay at the World Cup as an analyst at ZDF .
- In the final giant slalom, Marcel Hirscher was disqualified as eighth of the first run due to an early start (competition rule 613.7).
Women:
- At the giant slalom on November 28th in Aspen, Federica Brignone came third on the podium in a World Cup competition for the first time (after she had also achieved the first points at the season opener in Sölden with 21st place). The race was negative for the “swiss-ski” runner, none of whom qualified for the second run (43rd place by Fabienne Suter with a gap of 1.46 s on Chemmy Alcott in 30th place); however, Lindsey Vonn (rank 39 / 0.94 s missing on the "cut") also missed the final run.
- With the tiniest of three hundredths of a second, Elisabeth Görgl decided the Super-G in Lake Louise (December 6th) in her favor, marking the 50th ÖSV women's victory in the SG and the hat-trick by Lindsey Vonn, who had both descents the previous days had won, prevented.
- At the slalom in Åre (December 13th) these two sisters “posed” together on the podium for the first time with Maria Riesch and Susanne Riesch in positions 2 and 3 (Susanne was only 7th after the first run). For the last time, two sisters, Irene and Maria Epple (two brothers with Phil and Steve Mahre) stood on the “podium”.
- Vonn announced that she skied Bode Miller's skis on the descent in the Super Combined in Val d'Isère (December 18).
- The departure from Val d'Isère (December 19) was initially scheduled for 10.45 a.m., there were postponements to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m., but the strong wind and poor visibility led to the cancellation.
- The second descent in Haus im Ennstal (January 9th) was the second shortest for women in World Cup history (so far it had been Åre) - and the ÖSV team experienced the second worst result in a World Cup descent with 21st place for Anna Fenninger ; Only the one on March 6, 1994, when Barbara Sadleder was 24th in Whistler, was even weaker .
- After the first run of the night slalom in Flachau (January 12th) a Riesch sister victory became apparent, but Susanne (she was 0.12 seconds ahead of Maria) and Marlies Schild (after the first run ) were eliminated Fifth, 1.04 s deficit) still won.
- With 2nd place in the giant slalom in Maribor on January 16 , Maria Riesch made her first podium in this discipline.
- In connection with the Maribor slalom and the race itself (January 17th), there were several noticeable points: Tina Maze reached a slalom podium for the first time (she came from 9th to 2nd with best time in the second run), Kathrin Zettel advanced to "Great Maribor winner" (it was also her first victory in a World Cup slalom; double victories for women in giant slalom and slalom at the same place had so far only been achieved by Vreni Schneider on March 8th and 11th, 1989 in Shigakōgen and by Nicole Hosp Final given on March 17th and 18th, 2007 in Lenzerheide ). On the other hand, the Swiss representation, which was already "battered" with regard to slalom, was paralyzed during the night for this race, as their skis were literally peed on and items of clothing were stolen. The result was that none of them got into the second run (best was Aline Bonjour in 35th place).
- A breakdown occurred at the award ceremony for the Super Combination in St. Moritz (January 29th), because there was no tape (or other sound carrier) with the Swedish national anthem, so that the winner Anja Pärson had the idea, the anthem of her home country to perform vocal even with fervor. The speaker responded immediately and made his microphone available.
- At the downhill run in St. Moritz (January 30th), Lindsey Vonn's season-spanning series of 6 victories broke, so Annemarie Pröll's record was maintained with 7 downhill victories in one season and 8 in a row.
- While (as stated under the relevant point) the ÖSV men's team only remained without a downhill win during the entire season, the women (due to their poor number of points were only allowed to go into the final with three starters) could not even conquer a podium, which was the first time was in World Cup history.
Premier victories
There were only five new names in the winners' lists:
Men:
- On December 13th, Marcel Hirscher's winning streak began with his success in the giant slalom in Val-d'Isère ; he had with the start no. 11 has not yet belonged to the group with the “elite runners” (1 to 8).
- Giuliano Razzoli scored his first victory in the slalom in Zagreb (January 6th), about a month later he was crowned Olympic champion.
- Felix Neureuther chose the slalom Kitzbühel on January 24th for his first victory.
Women:
- The current giant slalom world champion Kathrin Hölzl caught up on her first victory in Aspen on November 28th in the said discipline. However, thanks to her persistence (with another victory), the DSV runner also succeeded in the giant slalom World Cup.
- For Fränzi Aufdenblatten , the maiden victory in the Super-G in Val d'Isère on December 20 also meant her only top podium in a World Cup race (after two third places in the downhill race).
World Cup decisions
Men's
Overall:
It was an alternating fight between Benjamin Raich and Carlo Janka . At the end of 2009 Janka was leading with 577 points ahead of Raich with 565. After the races in Kvitfjell, Raich was 110 points ahead of Janka, who, however, managed to catch up in the finish - already behind In the Super-G on March 7, the Swiss was only 46 points behind (973 to 1019); Due to the strengths and weaknesses of the other runners who were still in the front field (Cuche 846 points, Svindal 801 - Hirscher with 675 could not catch up with the minus in fifth anyway) and because Raich had not started the downhill run that Janka had won the Swiss are now ahead with 54 points. Although Janka only came in 11th in the Super-G, he only lost 8 points compared to eighth-placed Raich. With the victory in the giant slalom he was there and achieved the first overall success for Switzerland since Paul Accola . Raich (rank 8) would have needed rank 6 to still have a mini-chance. So it was no longer decisive that the Tyrolean (sixth in the first run) ultimately failed in the second round of the slalom.
Downhill:
With the victory in the downhill from Kvitfjell Didier Cuche secured the ranking early. The men of the Austrian Ski Association remained without a win, there were only two second and third places.
Super-G:
It looked like a duel Michael Walchhofer contra Aksel Lund Svindal of this even after the victory of Erik Guay on chien on March 7 in Kvitfjell, as the Canadians with 231 points behind Walchhofer (300) and Svindal (254). With 15th place in the finals, Walchhofer only managed to save second place.
Giant slalom:
Ted Ligety won the ranking for the second time after 2007/08. Although he only won one race, he was the most balanced.
Slalom:
Reinfried Herbst started the last race of the season with 505 to 452 points against Julien Lizeroux . After the first run everything seemed to be going well for the Salzburg man; he was only in 10th place, but the competitor was in 9th place (only 0.02 s better). But in the second run Lizeroux managed a dream run (1.29 s faster than Herbst), he took the lead and stayed in second place after Neureuthers run; only André Myhrer made the decision for autumn with a better time than Lizeroux; that Manfred Pranger (leader after the 1st run) ultimately classified himself in second place was just wasted.
Combination:
For Carlo Janka the “big points” (victory in Beaver Creek, 2nd place in Wengen; also 7th place in Kitzbühel) were too few, his failure in Val d'Isère was decisive. In contrast, Benjamin Raich scored steadily (rank 7 Beaver Creek, victory Val d'Isère, rank 4 Wengen and rank 3 Hahnenkamm).
Ladies
Overall:
Lindsey Vonn was already clearly in the lead before the final races (1491 points; Riesch followed with 1296; Pärson with 922 had no chance); Vonn's 33rd World Cup victory at the Super-G in Crans-Montana was prevented by Dominique Gisin , who started with No. 29 , but her rival Maria Riesch was only eighth. The overall victory of Vonn with their victory in the final Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen was finally fixed.
Departure:
Lindsey Vonn clearly dominated her competition. For the first time, a World Cup season in this discipline ended without a podium for the Austrian Ski Association.
Super-G:
Similar to the downhill, Lindsey Vonn dominated. Before Crans-Montana , she led with 440 points ahead of Fabienne Suter (220) and Andrea Fischbacher (217); Elisabeth Görgl , who was fourth at the time , had 194 points and was already out of the race. But since Vonn came second, with 520 points from his own performance, one race before the end of the race, it was irrelevant that Suter finished 17th and Fischbacher 12th; there was only a small change to 2nd place, because now the current Olympic champion from Austria was in 2nd place with 239 points ahead of Suter (234)
Giant slalom:
Before the final, Kathrin Hölzl was in the lead with 391 points ahead of Kathrin Zettel with 362 points, although she missed the win over Tina Maze by 0.03 s, but that was easily enough - Zettel only came in 8th, but she had hers (Big) chance missed on January 24th in Cortina d'Ampezzo when she was eliminated as the leader after the first run in the second run (while Hölzl was third).
Slalom:
The last competition brought the decision. Riesch was 23 points ahead of Zettel with 433 points; Sandrine Aubert still had a theoretical chance (361 points). After the first run, Maria Riesch was fourth and Zettel sixth. Marlies Schild was in the lead ahead of Šárka Záhrobská and Susanne Riesch. In the second run, Zettel was in front of Maria Riesch, but the "little Riesch" and Záhrobská should have placed between the Lower Austrian and Maria Riesch, but they stayed behind the two.
Combination:
With only two scores, Lindsey Vonn did ten points better thanks to third place in St. Moritz, because Anja Pärson had "only" finished fourth in Vonn's 25th World Cup victory in Val d'Isère. Michaela Kirchgasser , who also took fourth place with Pärson ex aequo in Val d'Isère, would only have had a chance if her competitors had been ranked significantly behind her in St. Moritz (or Crans-Montana had not been canceled).
Death
On August 24th, the three-time Olympic champion Toni Sailer , who was alpine racing director of the Austrian Ski Association in the 1970s, later also technical delegate of the FIS, honorary member of the IOC and also race director of the Hahnenkamm races in Kitzbühel , died in a clinic in Innsbruck .
