Maria Höfl-Riesch calls for changes in the World Cup – and takes on the ski boss. Olympic champion also criticizes FIS President Johan Eliasch.
The controversial discussion was sparked by Eliasch's views on sustainability in skiing. He had expressed the view that a World Cup in Aspen (USA) would be more sustainable than the Night Race in Schladming due to the larger number of spectators. “I don’t know if he (Eliasch) didn't score an own goal,” she said in Blickpunkt Sport.
