Lienz mit neuem Weltcup-Outfit!
End of the first third of the season, final women’s world cup race of the year – Lienz shines as a world cup venue every two years with the added attraction of the traditional crowds of spectators at the end of the year. And yet this year it will be different from what we are used to. The course, more or less in the middle of the town and with the finishing area right beside the main road, will have a new look to it. Not only has the giant slalom course been widened – it still retains its difficulties that have challenged the world’s top skiers again and again – but a new snow-making facility has been installed and the finishing area has been newly adapted to meet the latest requirements. Everything has been done successfully. The Lienz organisers can be truly proud of their sporting showpiece. As far as the races themselves are concerned, the winners of the last two competitions, Marlies Schild and Anja Pärsson, will be taking part and I am convinced that in view of the course corrections the top-class skiers will have the appropriate conditions and that the 2 competitions will be technically superlative. May I wish all those concerned 2 thrilling race days.

A very warm welcome to Lienz!
On behalf of the Lienz Organising Committee I should like to welcome you all to this year’s world cup races in Lienz. I am particularly pleased that the Schlossberg 2011 will present itself to the world cup circus and its many fans in its new look. We are all especially proud of our new combined ropeway, which will ensure more comfortable transport to the Moosalm for the skiers and the innumerable skiing enthusiasts.In 2011 we again welcome 175 media representatives and 18 television stations from all over the world. It is they who put the sports town of Lienz and the entire East Tyrol region into the limelight of international media interest for a few days. At this point I should like to thank all those who contribute to making these races possible, first and foremost the Lienzer Bergbahnen, Prof. Peter Schröcksnadel and the Austrian Skiing Federation, the Lienz Skiclub and their chairman Siegfried Vergeiner, the East Tyrol Tourist Association, all public institutions and businesses and all the tireless voluntary helpers.
Let us all look forward to a fantastic winter sporting event with a spectacular supporting programme and two exciting races. May the athletes experience fair races without any injuries, and may we witness a couple of action-packed and impressive world cup days in Lienz.
