The Lauberhorn race is a ski race organized by the FIS with a descent , a slalom and a combination . It has been held annually in Wengen , Switzerland , since 1930 . The race is named after the 2472 meter high Lauberhorn , where the descent begins.

The Lauberhorn run is particularly well known . At approx. 4.5 km in length and with a travel time of 2:30 minutes, it is the longest of all descents and also has the highest maximum speed of just under 160 km / h.

The Lauberhorn race is one of the classics of the Alpine Ski World Cup and is traditionally held in January, one week before the Hahnenkamm race in Kitzbühel . On Friday the super combination is usually on the program, which was held in the 2005 World Cup in Wengen for the first time. This is followed by the downhill run on Saturday and the slalom on the Jungfrau / Männlichen piste on Sunday.

history

overview

Logo 75 years of the Lauberhorn race

Ernst Gertsch founded the Lauberhorn race in 1930. The record winner in the downhill is Karl Molitor , who celebrated six victories between 1939 and 1947. Toni Sailer has won four times in a row (1955 to 1958) . Ivica Kostelić was able to win the slalom four times; Anderl Molterer , Guy Périllat , Ingemar Stenmark , and Benjamin Raich three times each.

The most successful country is Austria with a total of 67 victories (27 in the downhill, 18 in the slalom and 22 in the combination) ahead of Switzerland with 65 victories (26 in the downhill, 18 in the slalom and 21 in the combination).

At the end of the initiative of the Association Internationale des Journalistes de Ski (AIJS) and Karl Erb , the Lauberhorn races in the early 1960s were the first in the alpine ski circuit with a temporary press center , which was initially set up in a hotel and later in a school. Since the introduction of the World Cup in 1967 , the Lauberhorn race has been an integral part of this racing series. In 1991 Gernot Reinstadler had a fatal accident during training at the Ziel-S, whereupon all races that year were canceled. The Italian Kristian Ghedina holds the current record of 2: 24.23 min with his victory in 1997, where he achieved an average speed of 106.33 km / h.

The Lauberhorn races have developed into a major event with a budget of millions and attract thousands of spectators every year. In 2011, a new record was set with a total of 62,000 spectators (35,000 of them on the descent). An opening air show of the Patrouille Suisse has become naturalized as an attraction .

Comments on individual races

• 1930: At the end of the 1920s, there was a kind of panic among the Swiss team, because the British skiers seemed to be overtaking them. The Englishmen, trained by Swiss coaches, had won several (albeit not always the best) races, which is why the Swiss newspapers were full of reports. It was about the livelihood of many Swiss ski instructors, because the British had announced that they would spend their holidays on the Arlberg in the future because they could no longer learn anything in Switzerland. The Lauberhorn Race was actually created out of this need: Christian Rubi and Ernst Gertsch almost secretly started training and then became the first winners. Although Bill Bracken won the combination, the English rush was rejected, thus the existence of the ski instructors was secured.
• 1939: Karl Molitor celebrated his success with a special tactic: The evening before the race, the school teacher told him that he and his students would stamp a shortcut for him between two gates. Where the piste curves to the right, the shortcut leads directly to the next gate. Molitor's private piste was only one ski length wide and therefore he could hardly brake and became so fast that he fell where he came back on the piste. He drove on anyway and won by nine seconds.
• 1945: Six Italians who were interned in Mürren as refugees took part in the Lauberhorn race. Because nobody was allowed to know, they started under pseudonyms like “lightning” and “thunder”.
• 1946: The situation for the Swiss team before these races was almost similar to that in 1930, because two weeks earlier it had been devastated by the French runners in Megève . Again there was corresponding rustling in the forest of leaves and all the anxious questions. The Swiss succeeded again in correcting the previously suffered setback. In 1946 only runners from Switzerland and France took part. On February 23, both a cross-country skiing of 16 kilometers and downhill runs for women and men were organized. Edy Schild from Kandersteg led a quadruple victory for Switzerland ahead of Niklaus Stump from Wildhaus, Robert Zurbriggen from Saas-Fee and Hans Schoch from Urnäsch, ahead of the Frenchman Walter Jeandel from Baragets. The women's downhill went to the French Georgette Thiollière, ahead of the local hero Hedy Schlunegger and Olivia Ausoni . In the men's downhill, a junior class with Alfred Stäger from Mürren was rated as the winner. The Frenchman Jean Blanc (St. Bon Savote) won the general class ahead of Karl Molitor and Edy Rominger from St. Moritz.
  On February 24th there were Nordic competitions with ski jumping and a related Nordic combination : Nikolaus Stump won both competitions: the jumping in front of Hans Zurbriggen and James Couttet , the combination in front of Walter Jeandel and Roger Bozon.
  The women's slalom ended with a French double victory by Lucienne Schmidt in front of Georgette Thiollière and Olivia Ausoni. Georgette Thiollière with 0.26 points ahead of Olivia Ausoni and Hedy Schlunegger was the final result in the combination.
  In the men's race, the victories in slalom and the combination went to Switzerland before France: namely Otto von Allmen from Wengen in front of James Couttet and Karl Molitor. Molitor won the station wagon from Jean Blanc and Edy Rominger.
  It is also reported that the five best of the Swiss men's slalom team had used a new technical achievement, the so-called "Columbus vertical pull", which should make ski control and control much easier. It was a strap strapped around the ankle, which was attached to the ski by means of a hook and gave a very pleasant vertical pulling effect.
• 1954: At the departure on January 9th, 18 out of 63 runners who had started fell out due to a fall or disqualification and 18 other registered runners did not start; The phrase Österreicherloch is born because seven Austrians (including Toni Sailer , Walter Schuster and Anderl Molterer ) fell in the Seilersboden . Nevertheless, there was a triple victory for the Austrian drivers, with the winner Christian Pravda , who wore starting number 6, exactly eleven seconds faster than the runner-up Martin Strolz in 3: 23'2 .
• 1958: The descent took place on a shortened route, as it was not possible to prepare the entire route. Toni Sailer's winning time was only 2: 25.2 minutes.
• 1959: For a long time it was questionable whether the Swiss would compete with the best squad, because Roger Staub and two other team members had been banned from the association because of an obvious civil matter that had occurred in December 1958 (known as the “Zurich Cinema Affair”) , whereupon 13 team members under their captain Georges Schneider announced in solidarity that they would not take part. Ultimately, it turned out that the association had issued the ban prematurely or wrongly, which is why it was lifted before departure.
• 1960: Despite two start postponements due to dense fog and a shortened route, the first starters were severely disadvantaged. From the favorite group of the first 15 drivers, only two men were in the top ten, and then seven of the next 15 drivers. The winner was Willi Bogner , who started with starting number 25.

In addition, an official training run was carried out for the first time, which at the time was known as the "Trial Downhill Race" and was driven one day before the actual departure. this training trip had been decided by the FIS at their 22nd Congress in June 1959 in Stockholm .

• 1962: Due to the weather conditions, the downhill race and two giant slalom races (the one on January 13th would have counted for the combination) had to be canceled. A slalom was only held on January 14th.
• 1964: No downhill run could be held, instead two giant slalom runs were held on Friday and Saturday (January 10th and 11th); both were won by Egon Zimmermann .
• 1965: Shortly before Stefan Sodat's start , the fog cleared. The Austrian with starting number 30 set the fastest time, but the photographers had already left their positions. Therefore, the driver had to climb up to the Ziel-S again after the race so that they could still get their winning picture. At this point, Karl Schranz was leading in front of the two teammates Heini Messner and Hugo Nindl , then came the first non-Austrian, the Swiss Jean-Daniel Daetwyler. There was a five-time Austrian victory, as Werner Bleiner finished second with No. 34.
• 1971: The races on 16./17. January took place in St. Moritz ; In the descent, Switzerland celebrated a triple victory, led by Walter Tresch . The slalom went to Tyler Palmer (USA), the combination to Gustav Thöni .
• 1972: Contrary to tradition, this time the Hahnenkamm race started a week before the 22/23. January Lauberhorn competitions scheduled. The downhill run in Wengen on January 22nd had to be canceled, there was only the slalom on January 23rd, in which several drivers with higher starting numbers drove into the top ranks: Third Bob Cochran (USA) with No. 34, sixth Aurelio García (SPA) No. 45, the seventh Georg Sonnenberger from Dachau with No. 56 and the ninth Hans Hinterseer , at one of his first World Cup appearances with No. 45. The descent was made up on March 15, 1972 in Val Gardena , but in In contrast to 2004 with Garmisch-Partenkirchen as a substitute, it was not rated as a "Lauberhorn Downhill", although a Swiss won Bernhard Russi .
• 1973: The descent took place on January 13th at the replacement site in Grindelwald , with Switzerland celebrating a double victory thanks to Bernhard Russi and Roland Collombin . There was also a combined classification with the slalom run in Wengen on January 14th and won by Christian Neureuther ; this was won by Henri Duvillard .
• 1975: For the first time since 1969, it was possible to ski the full length of the descent again; Franz Klammer set a new course record with 2: 35.19 and distanced the runner-up Herbert Plank by 3.54 seconds, a remarkable advantage for the World Cup that has existed since 1967! When Karl Schranz won in 1969, his winning time was 3: 01.60. The combination won by Gustav Thöni is the first Lauberhorn combination that is also counted as a World Cup.
• 1976: The Lauberhorn combination 1976 was the only World Cup combination (and also the only other competition besides the downhill) that was won by Franz Klammer: Downhill victory on January 10th and 29th place in the slalom (with No. 67) on January 11th January meant a narrow victory with 1.12 points ahead of Gustav Thöni.
• 1978: The descent was canceled due to bad weather. It was made up for on March 10th in Laax , without a combined classification .
• 1980: The double run on 18./19. January (the first of which to replace the one canceled on December 22, 1979 in Schladming ) was the first in the 50-year Lauberhorn racing history.
• 1982: Both downhill and slalom were ridden in one day (January 24th). Although the descent started as scheduled on Saturday, January 23rd, it had to be canceled before the 14th driver due to fog. At this point, Franz Klammer was leading in front of six teammates. The downhill run on the next day brought a four- fold victory for Austria with Harti Weirather as the winner. The race was held in the morning. In the afternoon the slalom was held, in which Phil Mahre won. The combination that counts for the World Cup, however, consisted of the giant slalom from Adelboden and the Lauberhorn downhill run. Only eleven drivers were classified, of which only the winner, Pirmin Zurbriggen , was among the world's best.
• 1983: Both downhill and slalom could not be carried out due to enormous snowfalls. The descent took place a week later (on January 21, 1983) in Kitzbühel; the slalom should have been carried out on February 8th in Garmisch-Partenkirchen , before it was driven in Le Markstein on February 11th , with which the Lauberhorn combination with winner Phil Mahre (he was twelfth in Kitzbühel and third in Markstein become) was established.
• 1985: In training, the Canadian Brian O'Connor caught up with the Portuguese who started before him. On Friday, January 18th, an additional downhill run was held. The original descent was postponed from January 19th to January 20th, so that the slalom could only be held on Monday.
• 1986: As an exception, the races were only scheduled for February 1 and 2, although a replacement race for the Kandahar descent from St. Anton planned a week earlier should have taken place on January 31 . The two downhill races could not be held because of snow drifts; only the slalom was held. The downhill race from St. Anton was rescheduled on February 7th in Morzine , the Lauberhorn downhill on February 21st in Åre . There was also a combination rating.
• 1987: The combination was won by Pirmin Zurbriggen. However, he was the only one in the ranking, because only he started both in the downhill on January 17th (9th place) and in the slalom on January 18th (10th place).
• 1998: The Lauberhorn Slalom was driven on January 18, 1998 in Veysonnaz and won by Thomas Stangassinger (AUT). The first descent won by Hermann Maier in Wengen on January 16, 1998 was used for the Lauberhorn combination, which brought the victory for Hermann Maier (slalom rank 10).
• 2001: In the slalom there is a five-fold victory for Austria that was unprecedented in World Cup times: the winner was Benjamin Raich ; Rainer Schönfelder , Mario Matt , Florian Seer and Kilian Albrecht took the other places. Mitja Kunc (Slovenia) only followed in 6th place .
• 2004: The Swiss downhill skier Didier Cuche received a place on the honor boards in Wengen as the 2004 Lauberhorn downhill winner , although he never finished first on the original route until his career at the end of 2012, but because on January 30, 2004 he won the (World Cup ) Won replacement run in Garmisch-Partenkirchen . There was no combined ranking in 2004.
• 2007: Mario Matt won the combination as a first-time competitor (thus as the “net” thirtieth after the descent); In reality, he only reached 34th place. By not starting, however, he moved up exactly into the field of the top 30 and thus benefited from the rules that were in effect until then, which were then changed accordingly. As number 1 of the slalom, he made optimal use of the still very good slope, while those who started later were disadvantaged by the increasingly soft conditions. In addition, Bode Miller retired as a potential winner (second in the combined descent) with a clear lead over Matt.
• 2008: The program had to be changed due to the weather conditions: the slalom took place on Saturday, the descent on Sunday.
• 2017: The descent had to be canceled due to snowfall and the combination the day before was also affected by the weather. The slalom run was brought forward, and the leading favorites were affected by snowfall in the descent, so that in the end riders who started early took the top places, none of which - Niels Hintermann , Maxence Muzaton and Frederic Berthold - had ever made it onto the podium in the World Cup .
