ISPO Publishes Key Winter Sports Calendar Competition Event Dates
A new World Cup winter starts. The ski heroes chase down the slopes and ski jumping hills again or sprint through the cross-country ski runs of the world. ISPO.com shows the winter sports dates for biathlon and Co., when the stars are guesting nearby, when the Four Hills Tournament takes place - and when it is probably better to follow the events on the couch.
The winter sports dates in the biathlon start at the World Championships venue from March 2019: in Östersund in Sweden. The Norwegian Johannes Thingnes Bö won the gold medal four times at the World Championships. He wants to defend the title this winter in Antholz, Italy, where the biathletes' highlight of the season will take place in February.
The German biathlon fans have to do without the almost familiar: the top athlete Laura Dahlmeier, who retired from winter sports after the 2018/19 season. The Czech Gabriela Koukalova has also stopped.

Alpine Skiing: German Kitzbühel Experts, Hirscher No Longer a Part of It
Without Marcel Hirscher, Aksel Lund Svindal and Felix Neureuther, skiing is looking for new front men - and after the end of Lindsey Vonn's career also for a new front woman. One candidate is the Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen. The technical specialist could already triumph at the end of October on the first World Cup weekend, which women and men will compete together in a giant slalom in Sölden.
But also the German downhill racers around the two Kitzbühel winners Thomas Dreßen and Josef Ferstl (won there in the Super-G) give hope: Their highlight of the season will of course take place at the end of January, when the "Streif" in Kitzbühel/Austria is back. One week later they will start in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where on 02/08-02/09/2020 also the women will be guests.

Even in Olympic winters, the Four Hills Tournament in Germany and Austria on the hills of Oberstdorf, Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Innsbruck and Bischofshofen is at least as important a highlight for ski jumpers. This winter, it will start on 12/29/2019 with the opening jump and traditionally end with the Dreikönigsspringen in Bischofshofen (01/06/2020).
Another highlight will take place at the end of the season: the World Ski Flying Championships in Planica/Slovenia. The Japanese Ryōyū Kobayashi, the Austrian Stefan Kraft, the Pole Kamil Stoch or the Germans Markus Eisenbichler, Karl Geiger and Andreas Wellinger should be the favourites again.
