The
World Cup was to be brought into being by a near
- perfect conjunction of events and the support
of a handful of important people. The very name
chosen to designate it was of the utmost importance.
World Cup, Coupe du Monde, Weltcup, Coppa del
Mondo, echoed like a fanfare in all the languages
of the world.

RACING- How it all started - by Serge Lang
|
|
|
At
the end of the nineteenth century, many sport
were being rediscovered and modernized. This explosion
of interest in leisure gave birth to alpine skiing,
a sport that seemed made to match the new age.
It was swift and daring. And once it was established
among the snowy peaks of Switzerland and Austria,
the idea of slalom and downhill racing could not
be far behind.
