“Sport is our and the active lifeline, we have to make sure that we can organize all of our events as possible, even if we cannot allow spectators, because only then can we create the necessary conditions for the active,” emphasized ÖSV President Peter Schröcksnadel . It is therefore necessary to start preparations in good time.
“Since it cannot be said at the moment whether and under what conditions events can take place, at least two variants are always considered,” announced the ÖSV. For the season start in Sölden at the end of October, for example, bringing the women’s race forward to Friday two days ahead of the men is planned.
The World Ski Championships are still open
This could prevent a greater accumulation of active people, trainers and supervisors with regard to possible coronavirus threats, the association said after the presidents’ conference in Pörtschach. A decision by the FIS board was expected on July 2 regarding the postponement of the 2021 Alpine World Cup in Cortina d’Ampezzo requested by the Italian organizer.
