WENGEN, Switzerland (AP) — The signature Alpine skiing race in Switzerland risks being dropped from the World Cup schedule because of a money dispute with the national ski federation.
Organizers of the Lauberhorn men’s downhill in Wengen traded statements with Swiss-Ski on Wednesday and confirmed their ongoing legal case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The public spat followed Swiss-Ski declining to propose the three-race Lauberhorn meeting in January 2022 on that season’s World Cup calendar managed by the International Ski Federation (FIS).
The Swiss ski body said it “cannot meet the financial demands” made by the organizing committee in Wengen.
