Alpine skiing’s World Cup season starts this weekend with the first two of 90 races on the calendar beetween now and mid-March. That is more races than in any of the 57 previous World Cup seasons. Some embrace the challenge of the busy schedule and Austrian skier Marco Schwarz plans to start in as many of the 45 men's races as possible.
Austria’s Marco Schwarz competes during a men’s World Cup giant slalom skiing race Saturday, Feb. 25, 2023, in Olympic Valley, Calif. Alpine skiing’s World Cup starts this weekend with the first two of 90 races until mid-March – more than in any of the 57 previous seasons. Some racers embrace the challenge of the busy schedule – Austria’s Marco Schwarz plans to start in all 45 men’s events – but others question the scheduling, not least from an environmental perspective.
Formerly a slalom and GS specialist, Schwarz ventured into speed racing in recent seasons – with success. As one of the few all-rounders on the tour, the Austrian had initially said he planned to start every race in the new campaign. The distances between subsequent venues vary from 30 kilometers between Val Gardena and Alta Badia in Italy, to 8,800 kilometers between Aspen in Colorado and Kranjska Gora in Slovenia.
The Austrian men’s head coach, Marko Pfeifer, supported Schwarz’ ambitions but said he will evaluate the plan week after week. “She wants to be prepared, and if she doesn’t feel like she’s prepared for an upcoming weekend, then she will not participate,” Riml said. “So, it’s very strategic and she doesn’t have a problem to skip races because if she goes there, she wants to perform her best.”
