Scandal on the slopes: Ski mass revolt against catastrophic conditions!

Alta Badia, Italien - The giant slalom in Alta Badia was a real fiasco for the ski stars on Sunday: the famous slope on the Gran Risa presented itself in a catastrophic state, which caused immense unrest among the athletes. Manuel Feller unequivocally commented: "The slope is in a modest condition." The suffering athlete even had to skip the second round due to a gastrointestinal virus. "For us athletes is almost disrespectful that we have to contest a race in these conditions," he criticized the decision of the organizers. Justin Murisier also summed up his outrage: "An absolute scandal. FIS plays athletes with the health of us." According to Today. In the end, all athletes started.

The situation was so tense that only a handful of the top drivers such as Loic Meillard and Henrik Kristoffersen started because they had placed the best start numbers in the front row. The Austrian driver Marco Schwarz completed the first round as the best Austrian with sixth place. These inconsistencies throw a bad light on the organization and security in alpine skiing. A clear announcement also came from Thomas Tumler, who said that the majority of the drivers agreed that no races should take place in such conditions.

In the training of spectators, there is often confusion about the various disciplines of the Alpin ski. Snowplaza explains the differences between slalom, giant slalom, descent and alpine ombation. These disciplines are crucial for the competition and have specific rules and requirements for athletes and their equipment. The Alpine Ski World Cup attracts a large audience every year that follows the competitions. But the recent turbulence in Alta Badia show that the security of the athletes must be in the top.
