Sölden (APA) – With a dose of humor, the cancellation of the giant slalom of the World Cup in Sölden is easier to accept. Marcel Hirscher took advantage of the free time to launch a small ball of revenge snow to his opponent Ted Ligety. The previous year, after the cancellation of the Sölden race, the ÖSV chairman, Peter Schröcksnadel, had blamed him for this failure.
The question of when Schröcksnadel would cancel the race this year was a gag among the people involved in the Ski World Cup in Sölden a few days before Sunday. At Thursday's press conference, Ligety joked that there would probably be a race this time – if Peter allowed it.
"A nice day for the race today, typical of Peter Schröcksnadel," wrote Hirscher on Twitter on Sunday. To this end, the Salzburger posted a photo of the snow-covered race area, a flashing emoji and directed the tweet towards Ligety. "& # 39; FakeNews, & # 39;" replied the answer of the American.
A year ago, Ligety's sounds were tougher, publicly accusing him of not having worked due to the absence of injured Hirschers. "It may be that the weather is terrible there, but if the ÖSV president says several days before the race is canceled, then it stinks," said Ligety.
The insinuation has raised the waves in social media. "Did not your mother learn not to lie?" Wrote Manuel Feller to Ligety. Even the then American alpine leader, Patrick Riml, spoke of a "very unhappy" statement, Ligetys. This put into perspective after a conversation with Riml at least his criticism of the organizer Sölden. On Sunday, the cancellation did not cause any criticism.
