Shock in Schonach: worries about the Black Forest Cup!

In Schonach there is currently great concern about carrying out the Black Forest Cup, a significant competition in the Nordic combination. The decision of the FIS about the implementation of the competitions was postponed to Sunday. The Black Forest Cup takes place from January 17th to 19th and marks the 59th edition of this event.

The athletes Nathalie Armbruster and Svenja Würth, who have great hopes of participation, are particularly affected. In view of an already thin competition calendar in January, this exacerbates the tense situation. There was a shock on Thursday when the snow control pushed the decision to carry out the competitions. Heidi Spitz from the Organizational Committee emphasized that work is being done intensively.

The weather forecasts announce after a thaw and rain freezing temperatures that could enable artificial snow production. In addition, natural snow may be expected on Tuesday. Preparations for the ski jump and the competition route are already running to ensure the implementation of the competitions.
