THANK YOU!

The 72nd Hahnenkamm Races are over. What remains are memories of an extraordinary event that aroused many emotions. Weather conditions imposed testing times on the Organizers, athletes thrilled spectators with some enthralling performances. In retrospect, the Organizers, Kitzbühel Ski Club would like to take this opportunity to express their thanks and congratulations.

• THANK YOU to the world’s best ski athletes and their teams of trainers, coaches, service staff, physiotherapists and team doctors for their efforts and commitment. CONGRATULATIONS to all winners and runners up.
• THANK YOU to the many loyal fans and guests of honour, as well as the millions of television viewers around the world for their interest in and enthusiasm for the races.
• THANK YOU to all members and supporters of the Organizing Committee for their tireless and unparalleled efforts, for the solidarity and co-operation amongst all working groups within the Organization, offices, stadium and infrastructure and, in particular, all those who worked so hard on the Streif and Ganslern Slopes, managing to make the impossible possible. 
• THANK YOU to the international media representatives for their reports on the events from Kitzbühel in word and picture, all radio and television stations, especially our host broadcaster, ORF, for their exciting TV production.
• THANK YOU to all sponsors and marketing partners for their financial support which enabled the 72nd Hahnenkamm Races to take place.
• THANK YOU to the event venue’s landowners, the cable car and ski slope operators and other ARGE Consortium partners from Kitzbühel Town and Tourism.

Even though weather conditions prevented the Super-G from taking place and the Downhill course had to be shortened in the upper section because of visibility and wind problems, the joy and satisfaction felt by the Organizers K.S.C. in having successfully hosted the races far outweighs any troubles encountered. Now it is time to clean up and start work again – in preparation for the 73^rd Hahnenkamm Races from the 25^th to 27^th January 2013. We’re already looking forward to them!
