cancelled FIS SKI 100th Anniversary: Evening Giant Slalom

In February 1925, the International Central European Ski Races, then called the Rendezvous Ski Races, were held in Janské Lázně. It was not until 12 years later that FIS recognized these races as the 1st World Ski Championships. At that time, a 50 km and 18 km race was held and ski jumping took place on the Krakonoš jump. 240 competitors from 13 countries took part in the races. Janské Lázně was visited by up to 12,000 spectators. It was an event of world importance and certainly led to the further development of winter sports, the construction of the cable car in 1928, and the fame of Czechoslovakian and German athletes. A detailed story of the entire Championship awaits you in the following lines, the text is a collage of the then press - Zimní sport, Československá republika and Lidové noviny.

We will commemorate 100 years since these races in Janské Lázně with a number of events. One of them is an evening giant slalom on the Protěž slope.
