The women have the honor of kicking off the World Cup season with a giant-slalom event in Sölden, Austria. The men follow suit the following day. The AUDI FIS Ski World Cup in Sölden consists of the Women’s Giant Slalom on Saturday, October 22, and the Men’s Giant Slalom on Sunday, October 23. Sölden, which is located in the Ötztal region, is one of the most popular ski areas in Austria and has been the venue for the opening races of the Alpine Ski World Cup since 1993.
The course in Sölden just passed “Snow Control” yesterday. FIS Race directors Markus Mayr and Janez Hladnik, gave the green light for the World Cup opening after a final inspection with head of the Austrian ski organization ‘ÖSV’ Mario Reiter, Chief of Race Isidor Grüner, and Race Director Rainer Gstrein to ensure the competition slope will be in top condition and ready for the world’s best skiers.

The race in Sölden next week will attract the world’s best athletes. For the women’s Giant Slalom we expect to see Mikaela Shiffrin to defend last year’s title. Second-placed Lara Gut-Behrami from Switzerland, whose run was a mere 0.14 seconds behind Mikaela’s winning run in 2:07:22 minutes, will surely put her best foot forward to challenge the incumbent. Lara will not be the only one hoping to best America’s Shiffrin in the season opener. The race is usually on every world cup skier’s agenda. It should be a spectacular start to the 22/23 season.
