Good News for World Cup at Semmering
There is formally nothing standing in the way of the Women's Ski World Cup after Christmas at Semmering. After the snow inspection by the FIS officials on Thursday, the International Ski Federation gave the green light. Semmering is celebrating its 30th anniversary in the World Cup with the races on December 27 (Giant Slalom) and December 28 (Night Slalom).
Semmering instead of Lienz
The technical races at Semmering took place for some time in a biennial rhythm, alternating with Lienz. The East Tyroleans would have been up this year, but the operation of the Hochstein ski area was discontinued for financial reasons. Thus, Hirschenkogel is back in the game.
"Something very special"
Julia Scheib is skipping the Super-G in Val d'Isere this coming weekend and is already focusing on Semmering. "Racing in front of a home crowd is something very special and gives me an extra boost," said the Giant Slalom specialist. "My goal is clear: as always, I will go all out - not only to deliver a top performance but also to aim for the red jersey."
