Jury inspection on Sunday
Normally there is a jury inspection held on Sunday early mornings before the Kitzbuehel race week. This time it was with jury member and FIS race director Helmuth Schmalzl, who arrived directly from the Lauberhorn races in Wengen on Saturday night.
Together with downhill chief of piste Herbert Hauser and Sepp Wurzenrainer, who is in charge of the fences along the course, the Streif piste was inspected to get a first impression of the conditions. After the jury inspection it was declared, that the Organizing Committe of the Hahnenkamm races did an excellent job in preparing the course during the past few weeks. Peter Obermoser and his team of course setters flagged out a provisional downhill course.Finishing the stadium
