Team combination in the ski: gold medal for Venier and dispute over points!
Team combination in the ski: gold medal for Venier and dispute over points!
The latest foundation in alpine Sport celebrates a glamorous debut. The team combination, consisting of Super-G and Slalom, was able to inspire the audience and athletes alike. "This idea has the potential to revive the dying classic combination!" Explained the ski ace Stephanie Venier, who can also cheer on a bronze medal in the team after her success in the Super-G. Her slalom partner Kathi Treuppe was a valuable support that contributed to the success of her team. The Swiss athletes also enjoyed silver after Wendy Holdener performed outstandingly. On the other hand, German athletes such as Emma Aicher and the Duo Mirjam Puchner/Katharina Liensberger have to put up with a missed medal, such as OE24.at reported.
Team combination ensures discussions
In advance, however, the team combination caused controversial discussions. The 2023 Junior World Cup brought positive feedback, but the idea was criticized at the World Cup level. There are questions about fairness and points of points. The injured slalom vice world champion Alexander John "AJ" Ginnis turned to the FIS with an open letter and received support from around 130 athletes from a total of 18 countries. They fear that the awarding of points that should flow into the individual disciplines could disadvantage smaller ski nations. Ginnis argued that there was no suitable partnership with a speed carrier from Greece as a slalom driver, which gave him and like-minded people on the outside. The skepticism about the implementation of the Team combination in the World Cup remains, such as Br.de reported.
