First presentation and honoring on Sports Day

Consistently positive conclusion

For ski mountaineers, the conclusion of the first show on Sports Day was quite positive. The new Olympic system attracted great interest from visitors and the media. The World Cup, held on our home soil in Schladming, also provides fans with a great opportunity to experience the magic of this sport live. The ski mountaineers’ full focus is now on the rest of the preparations. First of all, performance tests and on-ice training will be on the agenda in October before the opening of the World Cup in France on November 24.
