Organizers in Europe plan to take skiing indoors next month, when Olympic slalom champion Benjamin Raich will face French rival Jean-Baptiste Grange and other challengers in a new European championship.
Organizers from Austria, France, Switzerland and Italy revealed plans yesterday to hold slalom races for men and women on an indoor slalom course in Amnéville, France, on Nov. 7.
Organizers said they have registered 80 skiers from 12 nations.
International Ski Federation president Gian-Franco Kasper had intimated that World Cup skiers could be suspended if they competed in the new competition, although he appears to have relaxed his stance.
“It’s one of the biggest ski domes in Europe,” France Alpine director Yves Dimier said. “We have already held successful French championships there.”
