At the FIS races of 1929 in Zakopane, Poland, which were later declared the 6th Nordic World Ski Championships by the International Ski Federation , an alpine ski competition for men was held for the first time at a major event.
At that time, the FIS races in Zakopane were predominantly referred to as the European skiing championships , and accordingly the winner Bronisław Czech was celebrated as the European champion .
history
At the FIS congress on the occasion of the Olympic Winter Games in St. Moritz in February 1928, at Arnold Lunn's request for international recognition of downhill and slalom , it was decided to allow the national federations to carry out "experimental" races according to the so-called "British Rules". The Polish Ski Association made use of this on the occasion of the FIS races in Zakopane and for the first time carried out an alpine competition, namely a downhill race for men as a demonstration competition as part of the international FIS races.
On the XI. International Ski Congress from February 24th to 26th in Oslo and Finse in Norway , a commission chaired by the Swiss Karl Danegger worked out a draft based on the two race regulations of the Ski Club of Great Britain and the Swiss Academic Ski Club that existed at the time was accepted for the FIS competition rules. After the delegates of the German Ski Association announced that they would refrain from announcing the alpine competitions for the FIS races in Oberhof in 1931 , the Ski Club of Great Britain, in the person of Arnold Lunn, proposed as a replacement after the FIS competitions Thuringia wanting to carry out slalom and downhill runs for men and women in Mürren in Switzerland. This entry was accepted without a dissenting vote. These first international Alpine FIS races from Mürren , which were named as such, were later recognized retrospectively as the first Alpine World Ski Championships .
The alpine ski race of Zakopane was not included in the ranking of the official alpine ski world championships, despite its importance in sport history.
