“I don’t understand why people leave so early.”

People waited in vain for him in Sölden. FIS head Johann Eliach preferred to travel to Monte Carlo instead of Tyrol. Not for relaxation. The Briton wanted to personally confirm that the World Cup TV rights to North America would be sold again at the Sportell trade show. Because the World Cup cannot currently be seen in the United States and Canada – despite Mikaela Shiffrin or world champion Valerie Grenier.

However, Elias gave an interview with ORF via Zoom, which will be broadcast in full on Sunday on “Sport am Sonntag”. But in the short pre-race snippet, Eliash surprised. Because he turned the ball back to the Austrian Ski Association ÖSV in the ongoing discussion: “I also don’t understand who cares about ski racing in October and why we ski on glaciers without snow. I hope that ÖSV is open to turning back.

This gave the discussion another development. Because the World Cup calendar itself is currently considered the “territory” of the president, in which he is very involved. It was he who wanted to include additional departures in Zermatt in the calendar as quickly as possible. But it also means: If all parties are in favor of postponing the race, it should happen soon.

It’s all about discussion
