At last. The Pope's Swiss Guard will now not have to wear the 2 kg heavy metal helmet any more since 1506! With 3D technology, a company in Switzerland has developed a helmet with UV protection and ventilation. https://www.svt.se/nyheter/utrikes/plasthjalmar-lattnad-for-pavens-livgarde |

Ah, Hahnenkamm-Rennen. Almost forgot. Thanks for reminding me. About "Supergutten" Aksel not Arne:) He is 36 years "old" so it's not surprising he will not race the Streif with all of his knee injuries. The Streif is really demanding as Ingemar Stenmark once noticed... |

Once Franz Klammer was already on the winner podium when the speaker announced that Gustav Thoeni had the best time at mid race. He lost by a few thousands of a second. I think it was 1974. Tullio |

Der Streif was Italian this year. Paris said afterwards "Crazy. It was a hell of a ride":) Weather is always a problem in skiing. Anyway Hahnenkamm explained. Alexander Köll from Sweden just crashed badly in the Zielschuss... Race interrupted. |

Swedish SVT just interviewed Beat Feuz. The interviewer asked in English and Beat answered in German. LOL. |

Missed that because of the weather and all these rescheduled races... Nice to see that Sofia Goggia is back again though. She once said “I moved like a Samuraiâ€:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh5WeHnuYmg And Marcel Hirscher can only applaude the winner of Slalom in Hahnenkamm-rennen today, Clement Noel who now gets a new ski lift in Kitzbühel named after him. Ingemar Stenmark has the ski lift no 38. |

Marcel Hirscher was intervied by SVT after his race in Kitzbühel. Is it special to race here? It means if skiing on a Saturday or on Sunday. On Sunday most people are.. hmm... tired. |

Dorothea Wierer wins the biathlon 10 km at Anterselva and increases her standing in World Cup. Lisa Vittozzi is third. No coverage by Italian Tv. |

It was covered by SVT but I missed to see it. Dorothea Wierer was born in the areas of the biathlon facility in Antholz. Then Lisa Vintozzi. "Forza Italia" instead of "Heja Norge". Hehe:) No "Heja Sverige" today tough:( |

You are correct with the country names. Actually almost everytime winning skiers in long distance ski races are from Norway or Sweden. We have a long tradition. Proper dress when skiing the Marcialonga. Becoming winners in Marcialonga. |

Yes Many "race interrupts" in Garmish... Well safety first. Oh. Lisa Hörnblad, Lin Ivarson och Helena Rapaport our contestants in Garmish was involved in a rescue operation when going up in a cabin/gondola the other day. One of the passengers had a heart attack. Lisa then started giving him CPR and saved his life:) https://www.svt.se/sport/alpint/svenska-landslagsakare-raddade-liv-i-garmisch Soon Kitzbühel and Super G. |

Italian skier Federica Sosio, 24, has a broken leg after a fall in Garmisch where others have fallen including Federica Brignone. The race track was not safe for girls, many have fallen, but only Sosio has a broken leg. Tullio |
