Hahnenkamm race
The Hahnenkamm race is a sporting event in alpine skiing that has been held on the Hahnenkamm in Kitzbühel since 1931 . Since the introduction of the World Cup in 1967, the races have taken place as part of this racing series. The traditional date is in January, one week after the Lauberhorn race in Wengen .
Until 2013, only the winner of the combination officially held the title of Hahnenkamm Winner . Three-time Hahnenkamm winners are honored with the Hahnenkamm needle in gold with diamonds .
Disciplines
Current disciplines
At the Hahnenkamm Races, the athletes compete in the following disciplines:
- Departure on the Streif
- Super-G on the Streif with start on the Streifalm
- Slalom on the Ganslernhang
Historical disciplines
Alpine combination
- Classic combination (until 2013)
- Super combination (2014-2016)
The Hahnenkamm combination was recently the only classic combination that was carried out in the World Cup. After the last classic combination in 2013, a super combination with a separate slalom run after the regular Super-G was carried out from 2014 to 2016 . Since 2017, no toilet combination has been held as part of the Hahnenkamm races.
Giant slalom
In 1970, instead of the downhill run, a giant slalom was held as an exception . In 1953, 1954, 1958, 1960 and 1965, a giant slalom was also held.
Ladies race
From 1932 to 1961 there were also women's races (downhill, slalom and combined, in some years giant slalom). These women's races were then driven in Badgastein . A decision to do so was taken on the occasion of the national conference of the Austrian Ski Association on June 11, 1960, with fierce resistance from SC Kitzbühel.

1 In 2017, the alpine combination in Kitzbühel was removed from the toilet calendar.
2 An alpine combination of the regular Super-G and a separate slalom run was held ( super combination ).
3 Combination of the descent in Megève and the slalom in Kitzbühel.
4 Instead of a downhill run, a giant slalom was held as an exception. Therefore, a combination of giant slalom and slalom was rated.
5 No event due to lack of snow.
Additional races
In several years, additional races took place in Kitzbühel that were not part of the classic Hahnenkamm combination. The downhill runs in particular were mostly those that had been relocated here as a replacement race from another venue that had to be canceled due to the weather. On the other hand, the Kitzbühel races in 1988 were held in a different (Austrian) location, namely in Bad Kleinkirchheim ( Carinthia ). In 1992/93 there were replacement locations in St. Anton am Arlberg (downhill) and Lech (slalom), which in this case also resulted in the combination of these races, but this relocation was not integrated into the "Hahnenkamm generation".

List of winners since the introduction of the Ski World Cup (from 1967)
- Note: The riders marked in bold are still active in the World Cup.
- Status: January 27, 2020
1 Alpine combination of the regular Super-G and a separate slalom run ( super combination ).
2 One downhill victory each from Alphand (1997), Cuche (1998), Kjus (1999) and Skårdal (1990) was held and scored as a sprint downhill (the times of two shortened runs are added to a total time).
Remarks
- The Hahnenkamm race had to be canceled seven times due to lack of snow (in 1938, 1939, 1964, 1988, 1993, 2005 and 2007).
- The 1951 races took place at a later date, on 7./8. February (Wednesday and Thursday). France and Italy did not compete with their strongest drivers.
- On February 9th there was another downhill run with victories for Christian Pravda and Erika Mahringer, which, however, did not belong to the original racing series.
- In 1952 the races were not planned because there was an “International Nordic Winter Sports Week” instead.
- 1954 (21st - 24th January): The women's giant slalom, which had to be postponed from 21st to 22nd January due to rain, was the only competition with the victory of Annemarie Buchner (ahead of Erika Mahringer and Lotte Blattl ) was not won by runners of the ÖSV; also in the women's slalom and in the women's combination there was only one "solo victory" with Regina Schöpf in front of Marisette Agnel and Borghild Niskin and Mahringer in front of Agnel and Luise Jaretz , while the women's downhill was a fourfold success (Mahringer, Rosi Sailer , Trude Klecker , Thea Hochleitner , as Fifth Buchner) brought and the men won anyway (except for the giant slalom with Toni Spiss in front of Stein Eriksen and Christian Pravda ) only in "multiple edition", whereby the downhill ended with a seven-fold success.
- In 1955 (January 15/16) the races were dominated by “50 Years of Kitzbüheler SC”. Rain made snow conditions difficult.
- 178 runners registered for the downhill race on January 14, 1956, a Saturday, so the organizers imposed various restrictions on the number of participants for the slalom on January 15. This high number was given despite the fact that neither France nor Switzerland sent their best runners. The French held qualifying races for the upcoming Olympic Games in Cortina d'Ampezzo in Megève , the Swiss justified their absence with insufficient and dangerous snow conditions, but let their young runners start anyway. For the first time runners from the Soviet Union took part.
- In the women's slalom, four Norwegian runners, among them Borghild Niskin as well as the winner Sandvik , were classified in the “Top Ten”.
- For the first time there was help from the armed forces for the preparation of the slopes , and for the first time a sponsor ( Ovaltine ) could be seen on the start numbers .
- The races in 1959 (January 17th / 18th) were broadcast for the first time on television by the then Austrian Broadcasting Company, which deployed four cameras.
- 1962: The descent on January 20th was shaped by the changing snow conditions. At first, a fast ski was of great importance in warmer temperatures, later it got colder so the slope harder - Adalbert Leitner, who started for Germany, was able to use start no. 57 made the best use of this and finished second, 0.6 seconds behind, Emile Viollat (No. 25) was also the beneficiary (4th place; thus best French).
- On the downhill run on January 23, 1965, which was affected by heavy fog, the start numbers 16 and 17 were recorded, but there was no name behind them. They were kept symbolically for “Bud” Wallace Werner and Charles Bozon, who died in an accident in 1964 .
- In his downhill triumph in 2004, Stephan Eberharter drove over the Streif at an average speed of 103.25 km / h. In the 1960s, the average speed was around 88 km / h.
- The first thirty athletes will receive prize money between 70,000 euros for the downhill winner and 500 euros for the thirtieth.
The Hahnenkamm races in the World Cup
- Only the additional slalom in 1971 (also won by J. N. Augert), which was driven instead of the descent that was canceled due to lack of snow, did not count towards the World Cup.
- The Austrian men suffered an unprecedented and inexplicable debacle in the slalom on January 24th, 1976, when Thomas Hauser was ranked 25th (Hansi Hinterseer was eliminated in sixth after the first run).
- With regard to the combinations, it should be noted that these were only included in the World Cup program from 1974/75, which means that those from the Hahnenkamm were also included in the World Cup from that season. Exceptions are 1978, 1980, 1981 and 1982.
- However, the Kitzbühel combinations also appear in the FIS World Cup results lists 1978, 1980 and 1981, whereby in 1980 the winner both here and there was named Andreas Wenzel.
- In 1978 Gustav Thöni and in 1981 Phil Mahre were named Kitzbühel Kombi-Winner.
- In 1981 the Swede Ingemar Stenmark contested a World Cup downhill run for the only time - and he did so in Kitzbühel because he urgently needed additional World Cup points for the overall World Cup. After his second place in the slalom in Oberstaufen (January 13th) he only came in 34th in Kitzbühel (10.72 seconds behind winner Podborski), but that was enough for 3rd place in the associated World Cup combined ranking.
- In 1982 there was no World Cup ranking.
- In 1987, due to the weather conditions, which made it necessary to postpone the descent to Sunday, January 25, both the descent and the slalom took place on that Sunday.
- In 1988 there were no races in Kitzbühel, Bad Kleinkirchheim was nominated as a replacement location.
The fact that there are these different ratings is due to the fact that a World Cup slalom that had already been held at a different location (1978: Zwiesel, 1980: Lenggries, 1981: Oberstaufen) was combined with the original Hahnenkamm descent. In contrast, the real Hahnenkamm winner, as mentioned in the tables above, was Pellat-Finet in 1978, Bohumír Zeman in 1981 (and Phil Mahre in 1982).
Incidents
Two "special incidents" concerned - each on the descent - the Austrian Karl Schranz:
- In 1969, Longines' timekeeping continued after he had crossed the finish line (was only corrected down by 1.21 seconds after about two hours)
- In 1972 (when two descents were run, the first was a substitute race), there was almost a collision with the Italian runner Stefano Anzi on the second descent (he continued shortly after a fall and was still just before the finish line as Schranz got there)
Audio description
For blind and visually impaired sports fans, the Hahnenkamm race is also broadcast in detail via ORF one two-channel sound, a Kitzbühel radio station, a live stream on the Internet and a telephone offer.
