Ski sports in danger! President Lehmann demands urgent solutions!

There are currently turbulent discussions in the heart of the ski world: preparations for the World Cup in Crans-Montana are on the brink. Several objections from six critics could strongly endanger progress. Swiss Ski President Urs Lehmann clearly commented on these impacts: "This is an action against skiing, crans-montana, Valais and Switzerland. I have no understanding of this," he added and already planned to confront the critics at a personal meeting. A decisive meeting with FIS President Johan Eliasch will take place in Crans-Montana next week. Nevertheless, according to Mayor Nicolas Féraud, the deadline for the agreement only runs until mid-March, which continues to tense the Situation, such as Kleine Zeitung reported .

success of the Ski World Cup causes a sensation

The situation could not be more contrasting: While the World Cup is facing a possible disorder, Swiss-Ski looks back on a historical success. The Swiss team celebrated one of the most successful championships of all time at the Ski World Cup in Saalbach-Hinterglemm with impressive five gold medals and a total of thirteen medals. President Urs Lehmann described this event as "satisfaction" and proud to be part of the team in this extraordinary period. The team spirit was emphasized as the key to success, with stars like Marco Odermatt and a newly coming to the foreground Lara Gut-Behrami, who acted as a team player, which was previously considered unlikely, like The Lucerne newspaper reported .

this double strike - on the other hand, the impending danger to the World Cup and on the other hand the triumph of the athletes - put the current challenges and success of Swiss skiing in the foreground and show that both internal and external conflicts could influence the future of sport. The expiry of the World Cup in Crans-Montana is on the brink, while the team is also at the peak of its success.
