Alpine_World_Ski_Championships_1991
The FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1991 were held in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Austria between 22 January and 3 February, 1991.[1][2][3]
Location in Austria
Sunshine often hit the snow of Saalbach-Hinterglemm during the competitions, which are remembered as some of the sunniest ever.[4] The competitions also saw the international breakthroughs for skiers who would score major successes throughout the 1990s, like Austria's Stephan Eberharter.[5] and Sweden's Pernilla Wiberg.[6]
The United States Ski Team arrived late, after two races had been completed.[3][7] Due to the Gulf War and associated security concerns, the team had withdrawn from World Cup competitions the previous week and returned home to North America.[8]
