Beach volleyball comeback on Lake Wörthersee: dream of a multi-sport event shattered!
A highly touted multisport event on Lake Wörthersee, which was planned for the summer of 2025, has now been abruptly canceled. Hannes Jagerhofer, the initiator of the project, announced that the main sponsor A1 would no longer be available as a partner, which made it impossible to hold the event. According to information from meinkreis.at The decision for Jagerhofer was unexpected, because without the necessary budget the event could not be organized with the usual quality. A combination of beach volleyball and water skiing in Pörtschach as well as climbing and wakeboarding in Velden was planned.
New plans for the future
Although the event is now canceled for 2025, Jagerhofer is already planning to postpone it to 2026. “We want to use the time to enter into new collaborations and partnerships,” he said. In an interview with krone.at Jagerhofer also explained that he would like to develop the event into a world championship, which will take place in Barcelona, among other places, in the future. In Carinthia, where the event was to take place, there is a variety of exciting sporting opportunities waiting to be taken advantage of.
However, the sporting regression in 2025 also has some positive prospects, as Jagerhofer is determined to continue hosting sporting events in the region, including a skateboarding competition in Klagenfurt, as soon as financial resources are secured. The budget for the multisport series is 6.2 million euros, which shows how serious he is about future directions.
