At the XV. At the 1988 Olympic Games in Calgary , ten alpine skiing competitions were held. The venue was Mount Allan in Nakiska . Due to the difficult weather conditions at this time of year, the athletes had to deal with heavy gusts of wind. For the first time on the Olympic program was the Super-G discipline . In addition, there was the combination, which was last Olympic in 1948 and since then (from 1954) had only counted in world championships.

Nominations

On January 31st, Alpinchef Mag. Werner Wörndle made the first nominations on the part of the Austrian Ski Association.

51 participants, 45 of them in the ranking. Retired: Luc Alphand (FRA), Michael Mair (ITA), Brian Stemmle (CAN).

The route was built by Bernhard Russi . The departure scheduled for February 14th at 11:30 am was postponed twice due to strong winds and canceled at 12:35 pm. Since February 15 was the new date, the men's combined downhill run planned for this day had to be postponed to February 16. For the postponed special descent, a new start number draw was carried out in accordance with the regulations, as well as a preventive draw for the numbers for the combined descent, should this be brought forward.

The winner Zurbriggen, who had already mastered the training sessions, was ahead of all the interim measurements. His winning ski was a »hole ski« and had brought him first and second in Val-d'Isère and second in Bad Kleinkirchheim in the current season . As in 1984, Peter Müller won the silver medal. In Switzerland, 1.249 million TV viewers saw Zurbriggen's victory.

Alberto Tomba, who opted for the 2.10 m skis (instead of 2.12 m), got stuck with the edge on the artificial snow.

94 participants, 57 of them in the rating. Retired: Marc Girardelli (LUX), Martin Hangl (SUI), Finn Christian Jagge (NOR), Daniel Mahrer (SUI), Peter Roth (FRG), Atle Skårdal (NOR), Jan Einar Thorsen (NOR), Alberto Tomba ( ITA), Markus Wasmeier (FRG), Frank Wörndl (FRG).

Martin Hangl witnessed the fatal accident of the Austrian team doctor Oberhammer while running in for the second run and suffered a shock. He then did not take part in the race. 19 runners, including all four Canadians, were disqualified before the second run due to untested and sealed racing suits; however, none was placed better than 32nd place. This measure delayed the start of the second run, which was planned for 1.30 p.m.

109 participants, 54 of them in the rating. Retired: Joël Gaspoz (SUI), Hans Pieren (SUI), Armin Bittner (FRG), Rudolf Nierlich (AUT); disqualified: Paul Accola (SUI) (all first round); Didier Bouvet (FRA), Jean-Luc Crétier (FRA), Finn Christian Jagge (NOR), Günther Mader (AUT), Peter Roth (FRG), Thomas Stangassinger (AUT) (all second round).

With the prevailing tricky snow conditions - fresh snow on pimple-hard artificial snow - the slalom was largely a matter of routine, which is why the top six included four previous World Cup or Olympic medal winners. Gaspoz left the Swiss; Accola finished twelfth, but he was the lead. Paul Frommelt, who won the World Cup bronze ten years ago, had finished fourth at the start of the season in Sestriere, but after a thigh strain he lost his rhythm. At the Olympics, for example, he used the combination for training purposes and only got back on track here. Alberto Tomba, who could not achieve a fastest run time, was annoyed about the course set by his coach in the first round.

Zurbriggen won the descent in 1: 46.90 minutes, 1.51 seconds ahead of Strolz, 3.20 seconds on Gstrein and 4.37 seconds on Accola. Piccard was second on the descent (+ 0.38 s), Skårdal was in 18th place (+ 3.37 s), Hangl was in 25th place (+ 4.58 s). After his fall on the special descent , Michael Mair did not start the descent. Marc Girardelli was also absent; His father Helmut stated in the ZDF studio on February 16 that there was an elbow injury and that Marc had cut his elbow tendons halfway through a fall on the steel edges of his own ski on the descent in Leukerbad . However, the real reasons for the withdrawal were suspected in a tangible row between the Girardellis and the ski company Atomic .

35 participants, 28 of them in the evaluation. Retired: Hilary Lindh (USA), Jacqueline Vogt (LIE), Anita Wachter (AUT), Sigrid Wolf (AUT).

The course setter was Markus Murmann (SUI). 5,000 spectators followed the race. The departure should have taken place on February 18th. It was also started at 11:30 a.m., with the number 1 drawn, Pam Fletcher , present, but with a cast and crutches, as she had collided with a piste binder hours earlier while driving in and had a broken top bone of the lower leg tightened. The first to start was No. 2, Brigitte Oertli . Already at this point it became apparent that there would be no sequel. Oertli reported that she could no longer see the slope because the gusty wind swirled the snow. For the time being, the jury decided to restart at 1 p.m., but then it was canceled.

The conditions had hardly changed the next day. Nevertheless, the jury decided to run the race. Above all, it was criticized that there were arbitrary start intervals. Kiehl (hardly any negative wind influences) was ahead in the decisive intermediate times, Percy had the best first mark (0.62 s faster than Kiehl), but lost the race by the second time measurement. Oertli, on the other hand, started moderately (15th time, 0.59 s behind), but was then favored by the wind. Sigrid Wolf, who started with No. 2, was hit by a gust at the Super-G start and it was impossible for her to stay on the slopes. Figini's handicap was poor ground visibility because the Chinook whipped an opaque veil of drifting snow over the runway. Thanks to great routine and combat strength, Walliser achieved fourth place.

46 participants, 41 of them in the evaluation. Eliminated among others: Jacqueline Vogt (LIE).

Figini took the lead with 0.30 seconds ahead of Mösenlechner. Wolf was 0.36 s behind the Swiss at the first split, but a perfect run gave her a clear lead. Mösenlechner could hope for a medal for a long time, but Percy was 0.04 seconds faster. On the part of the German team, the NOK had initially nominated Traudl Hächer instead of Marina Kiehl, but her Olympic victory resulted in a change in this decision.

The fallen Gerg (rank 8 in the first run) suffered severe ligament injuries and was flown home straight away for the operation. Since the ÖSV ladies Sylvia Eder had waived an elimination qualification due to an injury, there was only one between Kronberger and Kirchler with two clear wins for Kronberger.

Roswitha Steiner was only able to qualify for the team with second place in Kranjska Gora . Schneider's performance was flawless, she also attacked fully in the second run. Since the Olympics in 1960 there has never been a slalom winner (1.68 s lead; Anne Heggtveit then 3.3 s) so clearly prevailed. Ladstätter slowed down the second run. Nilsson, who was only 0.01 s behind Schneider, was eliminated. Kinshofer had to be treated for a muscle strain before the first run, and lumbago-like complaints were also there before the second run.

The descent was initially planned on February 19th at 12 noon, the slalom on February 20th (10:30 am / 1pm). However, since the special departure (after the cancellation on February 18) had been rescheduled on that day, there was a corresponding postponement of one day. Merle had won the descent in 1: 16.46 min, but was eliminated in the slalom. Oertli started in the combination slalom (the starting order was based on the slalom world rankings) with the best running time after the first round, while Wachter lost 1.44 s and Walliser 2.50 s. Schneider had the best interim time, but threaded it and dropped out. Oertli missed the gold medal (converted) by 0.03 s.
