Synchro Ski is a winter sports discipline that requires versatile skiing skills and is held in the form of a pair competition. The goal is to complete a two-part route as synchronously as possible. The two skiers start time-shifted, drive through the gate with the three-meter-wide flags, initially one behind the other, and then switch to a position in which they are on the same level next to each other. The lower half of the course is marked with narrow triangular flags and usually includes a jump. In the best case scenario, the athletes reach their destination at the same time .

The competition emerged from the deep snow events at the beginning of the 1990s, but in contrast to these, it is held on a groomed racing slope. The Swiss Christian Metz and Austrian Peter Larcher are considered to be the inventors . The organizers of the deep snow European championships wanted to transfer the "powder feeling" and "the fine art of skiing" to the safe slopes .

After a seven-year break, the 2007 Synchro Ski World Cup was revived by former racers Sigi Grüner and Christoph Brugger. The former world champion duo used the services of sports official and PR man Bernhard Stecher, all three of whom are Austrians. The latter restructured the Synchro Ski Association (SSA) as general secretary and put the external image on a professional footing. As a result, the sport reached a second heyday, during which up to eight races were held each winter. After the 2012/13 season, Stecher ended his activity, and the number of events quickly decreased. Neither the Synchro Ski World Cup nor the World Championship are currently being held.

Synchro Ski World Cup

Under the title Synchro Ski World Cup , sometimes also Synchro Ski World Cup , one understands a racing series that serves to determine the best duo in this sport. The competition, which is protected by trademark and copyright law, will be held in the form of a knockout mode, which means that both teams, i.e. a total of four runners, will be on two identical courses next to each other. The winning duo after the first and second round moves up to the next round. Up until the 2009/2010 racing season, the World Cup winners also held the title of World Champion . Since then, the world championship has been awarded at a separate event . Men’s, women’s and mixed teams compete in the parallel competition together on the same route. There is no separation into individual classes .

rating

To determine the winner is 75 percent , the synchronicity used, the remaining 25 per cent is the speed . To do this, the electronically timed race time is converted into points. The synchronicity is assessed by five experienced jurors . Their highest and lowest ratings are deleted and converted into a total number of points together with the time factor.

The World Cup placements result from the addition of the individual results. At the end of the season, the World Cup winner is the team with the highest score.

route

A Synchro Ski World Cup course must be at least 30 meters wide and between 181 meters and 326 meters long. It should have a uniform horizontal incline and must be easily visible to the jury.

Results

Until 2009/2010, the winners of the World Cup series carried the title "World Champion". Since then, both awards have been given separately. The World Cup consists of several races, the World Championship is decided on one day. It is also part of the overall World Cup. Since 2009/2010 the newcomers of the season ("Rookies of the Year") have also been listed.

distribution

Synchronous races are mainly held in the Alpine region, mostly under floodlights. Sometimes they are held in indoor ski areas. The highest number of spectators was recorded at a race in the city center of Mönchengladbach . According to estimates by the police, 300,000 people lined the event site over the two days. This race was the initial spark for the major Nordic events that were later held near cities or in football stadiums.

Web links

swell

This article or section needs a revision: see WP: Evidence : so in no way understandable: taste the sources. Author, article title, date, if weblink is necessary. However, I am not convinced that a list of newspapers that report on such competitions is worthy of a source. This is about a sport with rules, history and results that, if serious, can be found somewhere on an association website or similar. should be documented. Therefore suggestion: delete the list of newspapers , insert exact EN where required as WP: EN . - Herzi Pinki ( discussion ) 12:00, 29 Mar. 2018 (CEST)
