The '''Hahnenkamm''' is a [[mountain]] in [[Europe]], directly southwest of [[Kitzbühel]] in the [[Kitzbühel Alps]] of [[Austria]]. The [[elevation]] of its summit is {{convert|1712|m}} above [[sea level]].
The '''Hahnenkamm''' is a [[mountain]] in [[Europe]], directly southwest of [[Kitzbühel]] in the [[Kitzbühel Alps]] of [[Austria]]. The [[elevation]] of its summit is {{convert|1712|m}} above [[sea level]].


The Hahnenkamm (''[[German language|German]]'': [[rooster]]'s [[Comb (anatomy)|comb]]) is part of the [[ski resort]] of Kitzbühel, and hosts the annual [[FIS Alpine Ski World Cup|World Cup]] [[Alpine skiing|alpine ski]] races, the ''Hahnenkammrennen''. The most famous slope on the Hahnenkamm is the classic [[Downhill (ski competition)|downhill]] course, the ''Streif'' (streak, or stripe), which is regarded as the most demanding race course on the World Cup circuit. The course features highly technical, "fall-away" turns (reverse bank), many with limited visibility. It also contains several flat gliding sections, immediately preceded by difficult turns, placing a premium on both technical and gliding skills. A run on the mountain's northeast face, the ''Streif'' course, is mostly in the shade in January. It is usually [[overcast]] and coupled with [[fog]], the result being "flat" lighting which compounds the course's difficulty.

{{For|details and full results|Hahnenkamm Races}}
The ''Hahnenkammrennen'' are the annual races, held since 1931 and a fixture of the men's World Cup since its inception in the [[1967 Alpine Skiing World Cup|1967]] season. The races were originally held in March, and sometimes in early February (1949 & 1951). Beginning in 1953, the races at Kitzbühel have been held in mid to late January, often the week following the [[Lauberhorn ski races|Lauberhorn]] in [[Wengen]], [[Switzerland]], another classic downhill.

The Super-G made its debut at Kitzbühel {{Time ago|1995}} in [[1995 Alpine Skiing World Cup|1995]], and returned as a regular event in [[2000 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2000]], scheduled the day before the downhill.

Because of challenging weather conditions in January at the top of the mountain, the downhill course is often not run in its entirety. In the decade of 2000–09, the ''Streif'' full course was run in only four of the ten years (2001, 2002, 2004, & 2009). Unfortunately, this often eliminates one of the most exciting jumps in ski racing, the ''Mausefalle'' ([[mousetrap]]), seconds from the top of the course. The competitors reach high speeds quickly out of the starting gate on the ''Startschuss'' and fly up to {{convert|80|m|-1|abbr=on}} off the steep jump. Upon landing the racers experience a severe compression immediately followed by a sharp left turn, often negotiated unsuccessfully. Speeds entering the turn are {{convert|75|-|80|mph|-1|abbr=on}}.

[[File:Starthaus Streiff Abfahrt.jpg|thumb|220px|Starting gate in 2004, view of ''Mausefalle'' and [[Kitzbüheler Horn]]]]
In [[2006 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2006]], morning fog at the top of the course forced race organizers to lower the start {{convert|115|m|-1|abbr=on}} to the middle of the ''Karusell'' ([[carousel]]), below the ''Mausefalle.'' This shortened the length of the course by {{convert|347|m|-1|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fis-ski.com/pdf/2006/AL/0116/2006AL0116RLR0.pdf

The competitors reach high speeds quickly out of the starting gate on the ''Startschuss'' and fly up to {{convert|40|m|-1|abbr=on}} off the steep jump. Upon landing the racers experience a severe compression immediately followed by a sharp left turn, often negotiated unsuccessfully. Speeds entering the turn are {{convert|55|-|60|mph|-1|abbr=on}}.
In [[2008 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2008]], strong upwinds at the ''Mausefalle'' caused race officials to lower the start {{convert|50|m|-1|abbr=on}}, shortening the course by {{convert|100|m|-1|abbr=on}}. This eliminated most of the ''Startschuss'' and its instantaneous speed; the ''Mausefalle'' was accordingly altered to a speed-inducing pitch, rather than a formidable jump and compression. Though [[Didier Cuche]] won the race, the 2008 edition is likely best remembered for the high-speed crash of [[Scott Macartney]] on the ''Zielsprung'', seconds before the finish, as well as [[Bode Miller]] tying for second with [[Mario Scheiber]] after riding the safety fencing in the ''[[Steilhang]]'' section.


===Downhill===
The full course returned in [[2009 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2009]], for the first time in five years, with [[Didier Défago]] of [[Switzerland]] winning the race. In addition to having the fastest time, he also had the highest speed on the ''Zielschuss'' at {{convert|88.4|mph|abbr=on}}. It was the second consecutive downhill victory for Défago; he won the Lauberhorn downhill the previous week at Wengen to join a handful of skiers to win both classic races in consecutive weeks.<ref name="usat090124" /> It was last accomplished by [[Stephan Eberharter]] of Austria in [[2002 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2002]] and had been 17 years since a Swiss racer won both ([[1992 Alpine Skiing World Cup|1992]] - [[Franz Heinzer]]). The final training run on Thursday saw the serious crash of Swiss racer [[Daniel Albrecht]], again at the ''Zielsprung.'' It resulted in a three-week coma and Albrecht's absence from the World Cup circuit for the remainder of the 2009 season and the entire 2010 season.
{{For|the famous downhill course and results|Streif}}


===Slalom===
The full course was run in [[2010 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2010]] under clear skies and again won by [[Didier Cuche]], who had also won the Super-G the previous day. The only significant crash was by former champion [[Michael Walchhofer]], who twisted into the net fence at the final left turn, less than 20 seconds from the finish; he was quickly back on his feet. Cuche's downhill victory was his third on the ''Streif,'' his first was in 1998 on a Friday "extra" race. The ''Zielsprung'' was significantly moderated in 2010 due to the serious accidents the previous two years.

Due to lack of snow in [[2014 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2014]], the lower course was altered. The dramatic ''Querfahrt'' sidehill traverse and speed-inducing ''Zielschuss'' were bypassed; the racers detoured toward the ''Ganslern'' slalom slope, then rejoined the course for the final ''Rasmusleitn.'' This extended the overall length by {{convert|182|m|yd|abbr=on}} to {{convert|3.494|km|abbr=on}} and reduced the finishing speed. [[Hannes Reichelt]] was the first winner from Austria in eight years.

Upper mountain fog in [[2015 Alpine Skiing World Cup|2015]] forced the start to the Seidlalm jump, the lowest in history. [[Kjetil Jansrud]] of Norway won in less than a minute on the lower 50% of the course.<ref name=jwsheve>{{cite news|url=http://skiracing.com/stories/jansrud-wins-shortest-ever-hahnenkamm-downhill/ |magazine=Ski Racing |title=Jansrud wins shortest-ever Hahnenkamm downhill |last=Mintz |first=Geoff |date=January 24, 2015}}</ref>

==Various - Vertical Up==
In the evening dawn of 25. February 2011 the first [[Streif VerticalUp]] race took place with a mass start. No rules, just up the route of the ski race, but in the "rucksack-class" up the less steep family ski piste. 79 in the speed class and 116 with rucksack reaches the goal: the start booth of the ski race. On shoes with spikes, with pickel or ski sticks, snow shoes, touring or cross-country skis, whatever.

The fastest man (Urban Zemmer (ITA) 0h32:52) and the second fastest as well as the fastest woman (Barbara Exenberger (AUT) - 0h54:47) have all been in sub-class "over40" and used touring skis. See http://www.verticalup.at/ .

The Hahnenkamm is a mountain in Europe, directly southwest of Kitzbühel in the Kitzbühel Alps of Austria. The elevation of its summit is 1,712 metres (5,617 ft) above sea level.

The Hahnenkamm (German: rooster's comb) is part of the ski resort of Kitzbühel, and hosts an annual World Cup alpine ski race, the Hahnenkammrennen. The most famous slope on the Hahnenkamm is the classic downhill course, the Streif (streak, or stripe), which is regarded as the most demanding race course on the World Cup circuit[citation needed]. The course features highly technical, "fall-away" turns (reverse bank), many with limited visibility. It also contains several flat gliding sections, immediately preceded by difficult turns, placing a premium on both technical and gliding skills. The Streif is located on the mountain's northeast face which in January is mostly in the shade, adding the difficulty of flat vision to the already exceptionally demanding run.

Hahnenkamm races

[edit]
For details and full results, see Hahnenkamm Races.

The Hahnenkammrennen are the annual races, held since 1931 and a fixture of the men's World Cup since its inception in the 1967 season. The races were originally held in March, and sometimes in early February (1949 & 1951). Beginning in 1953, the races at Kitzbühel have been held in mid to late January, often the week following the Lauberhorn in Wengen, Switzerland, another classic downhill.

Since 1959, the race has been broadcast on Austrian television.[2]

In 2009, as well as in 2008, the total prize money was €550,000.[3]

The Hahnenkamm races are currently[when?] held in the following disciplines:[4]

Traditionally, the winner of the Hahnenkamm race was determined by the combined results of the downhill and slalom competitions. During the World Cup era, the man most likely to be referred to as Hahnenkammsieger (champion) is the winner of the prestigious downhill race.

The Super-G made its debut at Kitzbühel 29 years ago in 1995, and returned as a regular event in 2000, scheduled the day before the downhill.

Because of challenging weather conditions in January at the top of the mountain, the downhill course is often not run in its entirety. In the decade of 2000–09, the Streif full course was run in only four of the ten years (2001, 2002, 2004, & 2009). Unfortunately, this often eliminates one of the most exciting jumps in ski racing, the Mausefalle (mousetrap), seconds from the top of the course.

The competitors reach high speeds quickly out of the starting gate on the Startschuss and fly up to 40 m (130 ft) off the steep jump. Upon landing the racers experience a severe compression immediately followed by a sharp left turn, often negotiated unsuccessfully. Speeds entering the turn are 55–60 mph (90–100 km/h).

Vertical Up

In the open Streif VerticalUp event, first held in 2011, participants race the Streif upwards to the start booth of the ski race,[5] with free choice of equipment (cross-country skis, shoes with spikes, etc).
