Markus Waldner, the International Ski Federation race director who was not present at Thursday’s race, told Austrian TV “you saw at inspection you could not race there. He was replaced as race director at the event in Croatia by FIS official Emmanuel Couder. You could discuss whether we shouldn’t have held that race: There were more leaves on the slope than snow,” Waldner said about the women’s race. The race director said he will evaluate the men’s race with FIS management next week. This way you cannot race World Cup events.
