Review week 7

A Happy End?!

At the preview of week seven we asked ourselves if Austria will finally win their first gold medal of the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2013 in Schladming, Austria. Although these championships have been disappointing for the Austrians, they still had a happy end, as they have won a medal in the Team Event on Tuesday and another gold medal through Marcel Hirscher today. With two gold, two silver and four bronze medals Austria has won the most medals of all teams and finds itself on the second place of the medal count. Only the American team with fabulous Ted Ligety (3 gold) and the surprising teenager Mikaela Shiffrin (1 gold) have done better in these championships:

Preview week 6 - It’s all about winter sports and soccer!?

The Queen of this Championship?

The first week of February has a lot to offer, if you are interested in sport events. The week starts off with the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 2013 in Schladming, Austria and is scheduled until the 17^th of February. The first discipline, the Super-G, will already show if the favourites of this season, Tina Maze and Marcel Hirscher, can live up to the expectations. Certainly the Super-G will be easier for Maze, but who knows what Hirscher is able to do, participating in a world championship on home ground?!

Time to celebrate again?

On Thursday, the 46th Biathlon World Championships in Nove Mesto, Czech Republic, will start. To be honest, I would bet everything I have, on that Tora Berger and Martin Fourcade will have at least one medal lying on their bedside table when they go to sleep this Sunday night. From an event point of view it will be interesting to see if Nove Mesto, which hosted the first Biathlon World Cup only last season, will be able to deliver a first class sport event.
