The downhill will make up for the one cancelled in Beaver Creek on Thursday, December 18. The Super-G will be held on Friday, Dec. 19, and the classic downhill on Saturday, Dec. 20. The start for all three races is scheduled for 11:45 a.m.

“Of course I feel very sorry for my colleagues in Beaver Creek. When you can’t have a race, it is always very painful. For us this means that, as in 2022 and 2023, we will have a total of three speed races on the Saslong. I would like to thank not only FIS for trusting us, but also all our stakeholders for their quick support in this exceptional situation,” says Rainer Senoner, president of the Saslong Classic Club.
