SUPER-G on the Streifalm
The first Super-G in Kitzbühel took place in 1995. Since then it is known as one of the steepest and fastest Super-G courses worldwide.
The starting section features a 50% gradient. After the first obstacle, a sharp S-curve, the athletes reach the "Seidlalmsprung" with high speed. "Hausbergkante" and the following traverse are undoubtedly the most demanding sections and exert maximum strain on the athletes. Due to the steep and fallaway terrain, the radii of right-hand turns will have to be extremely short while the left-hand turns will exert.
The final Super-G sections "Zielschuss" and "Rasmusleitn" are a flight down the fall-line right to the finish among a cheering and enthusiastic crowd.
