The Alpine World Ski Championships are taking place in France this year. The races will be in the two ski areas Courchevel and Meribelheld just south of the Swiss border in Savoy.
Who are the favorites this year?
If you look at the national ranking of the Ski World Cup 2022/23, the case is reasonably clear: Switzerland is favourite. Even without our best driver, Marco Odermatt, we would still be ahead of the Austrians. But: A lot can happen at such an event and the Austrians, the Norwegians, the Italians or even a surprising outsider could spit in the soup of the Swiss.
Who is Switzerland sending to the World Ski Championships?
Among other things, according to the watson forecast, the following Swiss will drive to the World Cup:
- Women (10 starting places):
Andrea Ellenberger, Camille Rast, Corinne Suter, Jasmin Flury, Joana Hählen, Lara Gut-Behrami, Michelle Gisin, Priska Nufer, Aline Danioth and Wendy Holdener - Men (14 starting places):
Gino Caviezel, Niels Hintermann, Loïc Meillard, Alexis Monney, Justin Murisier, Marco Odermatt, Stefan Rogentin, Gilles Roulin, Thomas Tumler, Daniel Yule, Ramon Zenhousen, Marc Rochat, Luca Aerni, Fadri Janutin.
Who won the last World Cup?
The Austrians were simply better in 2021. Vincent Kriechmayr, for example, became world champion in the Super-G. Bild: imago images/Shutterstock
The 2021 event in Cortina d’Ampezzo (Italy) was extremely bitter for Switzerland. nemesis Austria won the nations classification with five to three gold medals ahead of us, although we won more metal overall with 9 to 8 medals.
Vincent Kriechmayr, Mathieu Faivre and Sebastian Foss Solevag each won two men’s gold medals. Among the women, Lara Gut-Behrami and Katharina Liensberger were the most successful riders – also with two gold medals each.
How often is there a Ski World Championship?
The World Ski Association FIS has been organizing the Alpine World Ski Championships since 1985 biennial cycle. The first took place in 1931 in the Bernese Oberland.
