And I presume people have first class travel available to these places. The point to host such events,for these resorts, is usually to attract tourists and fans.
If you are hosting a WC round only one or two weekends a year, then I fail to see how there aren't at least 1000 fans in the whole country that can't plan on going..
Believe that the management had named today as key test races for the next phase of the season - so effectively Olympic places - so everyone was even more than normal like a Coke bottle that had been left in the sun and then vigorously shaken.
I wish it was the same for women's competition. But due to the limited space, FIS forced their way to host them in Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.... Otherwise the men's competitions would have been cancelled.
Always happens. They have the best coaches & ski preparation so it just takes 1 or 2 of the pool of a dozen young athletes to step up a level & the tradition continues.
