The resurrection after dark years was successful: 45,000 fans made the chamois city tremble on Saturday – and celebrated until the knockout. The “Krone” was right in the middle of it all, capturing the events in meaningful photos.
Getting used to the huge crowds – that was already possible yesterday in the trains to the downhill classic. The fans stood shoulder to shoulder in the regional express from Wörgl at 9:52 a.m., the pallet of beer cans at their feet, the Jägermeister in their jackets.
At the Schwarzsee stop, the train had long been overcrowded and the group from Meggen, Switzerland, could no longer squeeze into the carriage. “Then a police bus took us away”, the Swiss laughed when we later happened to meet them again in the finish area.
Many fans already had the beer supply with them
The Pinzgauers had no mobility issues in their animal costumes, as a friend acted as driver. And so the gentlemen gave themselves extensive credit to the can of beer they brought with them. Financially more sensible, the stand price is five euros. Salty, but it’s just a big event.
The fact that a Norwegian defeated the home trumps could not dampen the mood. Not even with daddy Michael from Reith near Kitzbühel, who alternately lifted the daughters Luisa and Laura on the shoulders. Yes, the Streif Saturday is also suitable for families. Provided you avoid the party in the city center.
Real party withdrawal symptoms
There the kronehit team got the crowd of fans to sing (along) in the glass studio. The realization: with the collective intoxication of emotions, with carefree partying, the young audience in particular is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms – the pandemic sends its regards. Fortunately, that is now over.
Subzero temperatures later pushed fans into the bars. Bouncers had their hands full directing the attack in fairly orderly channels. “It’s like the old days, even three times as many seats in the restaurant wouldn’t be enough today,” a security guard huffed in the middle of the crowd. The Hahnenkamm party ran wild and boisterous until the evening, no major incidents were reported. The quieter conclusion follows on Sunday with the slalom. . .
