Ski Alpin: After cancellation: decision about Sölden-RTL made

The men’s giant slalom of Sölden, which was cancelled at the end of October due to bad weather, will definitely not be made up for. The International Ski Federation (FIS) has recently rejected a motion by the top giant goal scorers to this effect at the autumn council meeting at the association’s headquarters in Oberhofen. However, a solution is to be found for the future.

According to the FIS statutes, races canceled at the opening of the World Cup season or the finals are currently being cancelled from the organizational and organisational aspects. It is not possible to change the rules during the current season or allow something retroactively,”said Markus Waldner, FIS Chief Executive Officer at the first Team Captains Meeting in Lake Louise, explaining the decision.

We did not accept the application this time,”Waldner explained in Canada,” but we want to see if we can find a solution for it in the future “.
