The 46th Alpine World Ski Championships are taking place this year in picturesque Cortina d'Ampezzo.
Here is all the information.
The Alpine World Ski Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo will take place from February 8 to 21 this year.
The disciplines include Super-G, Downhill, Slalom, Giant Slalom, parallel competition and the Alpine Combination.
Among the German athletes there is, among other things, a secret favorite.
Cortina d'Ampezzo - Without spectators, but with a lot of spectacle, the
2021 Alpine World Ski Championships
are visiting South Tyrol.
In the Valle del Boite in the Ampezzaner Dolomites, the world's winter sports elite can
enjoy
the wonderful panorama of
Cortina d'Ampezzo
and at the same time try to capture the coveted World Cup medals for their country.
German athletes are also well represented in a total of seven competitions.
Alpine Ski World Championship 2021: These are the chances for the DSV athletes
While there was
only one medal for the DSV team in the women's camp
at the last Alpine World Ski Championships in
Sweden
in 2019
, this time the German men can justifiably hope for a podium finish.
At the beginning of January
Linus Straßer
was
able to
celebrate in Zagreb and will therefore travel to South Tyrol as a kind of secret favorite.
Thomas Dreßen, the winner of the 2018 Hahnenkamm race in Kitzbühel, is also back in the DSV squad after his injury.
Instead, the German women will probably go to the World Cup with outsider chances.
After ski ace Viktoria Regensburg surprisingly announced the end of her career last September, Kira Weidle is the only athlete with bigger ambitions in the squad.

From
February 8 to 21,
the German Ski Association can keep your fingers crossed.
In addition to Kira Weidle in the downhill,
Lena Dürr
can also
do something in the parallel competition.
Anyway, anything is possible for the team from Germany in the team competition.
Whether the athletes will actually come home with several medals - and thus increase the yield of 2019 - remains to be seen.
Where and when will the Alpine World Ski Championships 2021 take place?
The World Cup opened on February 7th on the Piazza della Stazione in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, but everything had to be canceled on February 8th - the day of the first competitions - due to heavy snowfall.
Actually, the combination of women should have taken place.
In terms of sport, the world championship will not start until
Thursday, February 11
,
with the men's and women's Super G competitions.
The World Cup days will then be concluded with the slalom on February 20, as planned.
At the last World Cup in 2019 in Åre, Sweden, the Austrian Marcel Hirscher made himself the most successful male ski racer in the history of the Alpine World Ski Championships with his victory.
Overall, the winter sports event is taking place in
Cortina d'Ampezzo
in South Tyrol for the third time
.
Already in 1932 and 1956 - back then with the Olympic Games - the ski elite were guests in the village with the unique panorama in Veneto.
