FIS Ski Jumping World Cup with WARSTEINER
Germany - It’s ON! From February 8-10, 2013, the world cup stadium in Willingen, Germany, again becomes the site of the annual FIS Ski Jumping World Cup, the wildly popular sport spectacle sponsored by the Warsteiner Brewery.
As late as last year, it was not clear if this event, beloved by top athletes and snow sports fans, would take place. To satisfy the requirements of hosting this top international event, a new judges’ tower as well as permanently installed flood lights were needed. Through a donation drive by the Willingen ski club and the generous support of the Warsteiner Brewery with its initiative “Beer for the Jump” (“Bier für die Schanze”), the finances for the necessary modifications were finalized just in time.
From February 8-10, up to 30,000 fans will gather in the world cup stadium at the Mühlenkopf-Jump, which today is not only the largest but thanks to the recent remodeling, now one of the most modern ski jumps in Europe. And there will be another first in the Stryck valley this year: For the first time, the FIS World Cup will be held on Carnival weekend! The ski club and the Warsteiner Brewery look forward to welcoming many enthusiastic revelers and ski fans in wild costumes, cheering for their favorites like Simon Ammann, Richard Freitag and Severin Freund. So, this world renowned ski jumping event in Willingen will once again be a joyous and colorful party, where victories are celebrated with Warsteiner.
