The road to the general name of the World Cup will not come with any kind of snow at home for Mikaela Shiffrin.
The guiding framework for ski racing announced Thursday that the classic American circuit will be ignored this season due to protection considerations similar to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Women’s World Cup will not be avoided in Killington, Vermont or Lake Louise, Alberta. Men will not run in Beaver Creek, Colorado, or on a separate vacation in Lake Louise. Instead, the circuit deserves to remain in Europe this era from the end of November.
Venues are expected to return to the schedule for the 2021-2022 season, according to the International Ski Federation (FIS).
Decisions were made after consultation with FIS leaders, national ski associations and local organizing committees in Canada and the United States. The federation is looking to carry out a comprehensive World Cup program while protecting the physical condition of the participants.
There is an appropriate schedule that will be approved until the end of September. The new calfinishar includes the addition of two male occasions in December in Val d’Isere, France. Planned giant slalom races will be postponed from one week of completion at December 5 and 6, giving way to an additional and super-G descent on December 12 and 13.
On the women’s side, a descent will be part of the classic weekend in St. Moritz, Switzerland, from 5 to 7 December. Courchevel, France, will be a two-race technical weekend in December.
“American racing is two very special weeks for the entire FIS World Cup tour and we are very disappointed that we have not discovered a way to accompany them on this year’s Alpine calendar,” FIS Secretary General Sarah Lewis said in a statement. “But if there’s a ray of hope, it’s to see how all of our actors involved in the FIS World Cup work together.”
Shiffrin, who lives in Edwards, Colorado, has won three of the last four World Cup titles. Last season, he took a six-week break from the circuit following the death of his father, Jeff, who died on February 2 after a twist of fate at his Home in Colorado. Shiffrin returned to Are, Sweden, but the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak before he could run again.
Italian Federica Brignone won the crown, ending Shiffrin’s three-year reign.
The snow in the house has been friendly in Shiffrin over the years. Shiffrin, 25, has six podiums at Killington, four wins. The two-time Olympic champion also has 4 top three scores on the slopes of Lake Louise.
The World Cup season will begin on October 17 and 18 in Soelden, Austria, with the same old giant slaloms. The next leg of the tour will be the debut of the Lech / Zurs host station in Austria on 13 and 14 November. It will feature a male and female parallel career.
