Women celebrate comeback: Hahnenkamm inspires after 64 years!

After 64 years, there were finally women's races on the legendary Hahnenkamm strife in Kitzbühel last weekend. The competitions were celebrated as a great success, especially for the Austrian participants who triumphed in the Super-G races. In the first run, the athletes won four of the first five places, while three ÖSV women took the podium places in the second race. "My heart hit a few blows at the start. The myth of streak does not come from somewhere," enthused the winner Nadine, who ended the first race at the top of the podium, said Oe24.at

Despite the enthusiasm among the athletes, it is uncertain when a women's race will come back on the strip. The FIS gave a possible return to the World Cup a cancellation and is not planning a new edition in the European Cup for 2026. FIS racing director Peter Gerdol said that the current situation was satisfied and there were no discussions with the organizers in Kitzbühel. "Kitzbühel is a World Cup for men. They don't drive every year in Cortina d’Ampezzo or Flachau," continues Gerdol.
