Introduction

The Vitranc Cup has been present in Slovenia since 1961. Throughout all those years, its organization has been developing concurrently with the development of alpine skiing

and competitions’ safety requirements, we have been gathering experience and know-how, and today the Vitranc Cup is one of the largest, best organized and one of the best

visited traditional sport events in Slovenia and in central Europe. Most merit for that shall be attributed to the diligent, hard-working and persistent inhabitants of Kranjska Gora and the neighbouring villages, who still co-create this top skiing event by their

volunteer work, as well as to the Vitranc Cup Organizing Committee. Because of that, the Vitranc Cup is deeply anchored in the FIS calendar also in the future.

This year, the organizers will yet again try to organize an event that will justify its reputation as an event that combines sports and entertainment. For three days, the

best slalom and giant-slalom skiers will compete on the slope in Podkoren and fight for the best placements, because Kranjska Gora will this year also host the cancelled giant-

slalom from Garmisch-Partenkirchen. The competition weekend will be enhanced by a rich accompanying program, both at the competition venue, as well as in the very center of Kranjska Gora. On Friday evening after the giant-slalom, the Vitranc hall will host the

popular musical Mamma Mia, whereas on Saturday evening the visitors of Kranjska Gora and the Vitranc Cup will be able to have fun at the "Q-Max Party."

However, the Vitranc Cup is not merely sports and entertainment. The best world’s skiers bring to Kranjska Gora also the political and business elite on the local, national

and international level. In three days, people from different walks of life, areas and business activities will share their admiration and enjoy in the skiers’ performance,

competitive fighting spirit, persistence and discipline, i.e. virtues which today represent a pre-requisite for any area of our lives.

The Vitranc Cup will be as exciting as the first time!

Vitranc Cup #funfacts

Since 1961, the Vitranc Cup has been held on 4 different slopes in Kranjska Gora.

The previous finish of the race course was located next to today's petrol station between Podkoren and Kranjska Gora, part of the track (clearing) it is still visible.

73 World Cup competitions were carried out within the Vitranc Cup (36 GSL, 36SL,

1 ladies’ SL), 9 European Cup competitions (2 GSL and 7 SL) and 20 FIS competitions at various levels.

The winners of the Vitranc Cup competitions come from 14 different countries.

Most Vitranc Cup winners, 22, have so far come from Austria, which also has the most wins in both slalom and giant slalom.

As many as 49 competitors from 14 different countries have won the Vitranc Cup

up to now.

Most wins were achieved by Ted Ligety (USA), namely 6, all of them in giant

slalom.

Most ranks among the best first three competitors were achieved by Benjamin

Raich (AUT), namely 11.

The best result in regard with the ratio of standing on the winners’ podium and winning the competition holds Bojan Križaj (SLO), who among six rankings among the 3 best, won 4 times (66.6%), followed by Alberto Tomba (ITA), who was

ranked 8 times among the first three and won 5 times.

The worst winning percentage between being placed among the three best skiers and actually winning, goes to Marcel Hirscher (AUT), who only won once, but was placed among the top three as many as 8 times.

The longest period between the first and last win was recorded by Ivica Kostelić

(CRO), who first won in 2003 and the second time, which was also the last time, in 2013.

Standing on the Vitranc Cup winners’ podium were also father and son. Alfred Matt (AUT) was second in 1969, his son Mario Matt (AUT) was also second in

2002. Mario later, in 2007 and 2011, also won the slalom.

The smallest time difference between the winner and the second placed was in the giant slalom in 1970, where Mauro Bernardi (ITA) and Hans Enn (AUT) shared the first place.

The smallest time difference ever recorded in slalom was in 1990, when Jonas

Nilsson (SWE) beat Hubert Strolz (AUT) by 0.01 seconds.

The biggest time difference between the first and second ranked was recorded in

the 1961 slalom, when Ernst Falsch (AUT) defeated Josef Stiegler (AUT) by 3.10 seconds.



18

The biggest time difference between the first and second in giant slalom was

recorded in the same year, when Josef Stiegler (AUT) defeated Joseph Behr (GER) by 2.50 seconds.

As many as 15 times was the difference between the first and second ranked

higher than 1 second (4-times in slalom and 11 times in giant slalom).

As many as 14 times, however, was the difference between the first and the

second ranked less than one-tenth of a second (5 times in slalom, and 9 times in giant slalom).

Most wins on home snow were achieved by Bojan Križaj (SLO) – 4 in total, 3 in

slalom and one in giant slalom.

Bojan Križaj (SLO) also achieved the most placements on the winners’ podium

among all Slovenian skiers. – 6 times.

snow in 1999.

conflict with the legitimate activities authorised by the FIS and/or the Vitranc Cup OC (e.g.

unauthorised commercial or media activities).

The undersigned acknowledges and accepts that failure to comply at any time with any of the

above terms and conditions may lead to withdrawal of the FIS ad hoc on course photo

accreditation and the permission for the access to the race course. (The Jury may sanction

according to the ICR, Article 223.)

Any issue related to the application, grant, denial, withdrawal, validity or content of such a FIS

ad hoc on course photo accreditation and permission to access the race course is governed by

the FIS Rules and, subsidiarily, the Swiss law.

Without limitation to the jurisdiction of any body of competent jurisdiction in connection with

the application of the FIS Rules to which the undersigned may be submitted, any dispute

which is not to be adjudicated in application of specific procedures provided for by the FIS

Rules, but which arises between such accredited person and the FIS and/or the organiser,

including but not limited to issues linked with application for grant, denial, withdrawal, validity

or content of the FIS ad hoc on course photo accreditation or claims for damages of either

party against the other arising out of occurrences (acts or omissions) linked with the use of

such accreditation shall be exclusively settled by arbitration before the Court of Arbitration for

Sport (“CAS”) in Lausanne in accordance with the CAS’ rules then in effect.
