The Lauberhorn ski races (Lauberhorn World Cup alpine ski races ((ドイツ語:Lauberhornrennen)) (downhill, slalom, and combined) are among the highest-attended winter sports events in the world, attracting around 30,000 spectators each year. An established attraction is the airshow by the Patrouille Suisse, the aerobatic demonstration team of the Swiss Air Force. The 2016 races are scheduled for 15–17 January (super-combined, downhill, and slalom). The races in Wengen in the Bernese Oberland are held in mid-January, usually the week prior to the Hahnenkamm, in Kitzbühel, Austria, another classic downhill race run since the early 1930s. The Lauberhorn is a mountain in the Bernese Alps of Switzerland, located between Wengen and Grindelwald, north of the Kleine Scheidegg. Its summit is at an elevation of above sea level. The downhill course is the longest in the world; its length of results in run times of two and a half minutes (about 30–45 seconds longer than standard downhill races); top speeds approach on its ''Haneggschuss'', the highest speeds on the World Cup circuit. The Lauberhorn downhill run is surrounded by the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau above the Lauterbrunnen valley. It is known for run arrangements such as the ''Hundschopf,'' a signature jump over a rock nose, the ''Kernen-S'' (passing over a bridge at around and the ''Wasserstation'' tunnel (underpassing the viaduct of the local railroad Wengernalpbahn). == Key sections == Many of the named portions of the course are due to historic falls or crashes by racers. The best known sections of the Lauberhorn downhill race are the following (in descending order):〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Lauberhornrennen 2009: Course map )〕 * ''Russisprung'' (Russi jump), named after Swiss Olympic champion Bernhard Russi, in the upper treeless part of the course * ''Hundschopf'' (dog's head), the Lauberhorn's signature jump over the rock nose, about a third of the way down the course * ''Minsch-Kante'' and the long fall-away curve * ''Canadian Corner'' * ''Alpweg'' trail, very narrow and only in width * ''Kernen-S'' (formerly the ''Brüggli-S''), consecutive right-left 90° curves separated by a small bridge), which reduces speed considerably * ''Wasserstation'' (water station), a small tunnel underpassing the local railroad Wengernalpbahn * ''Langentrejen'' where the slope becomes significantly flatter * ''Haneggschuss'', a pitch after the flats where top speeds approach 160 km/h (100 mph) * ''Silberhornsprung'' (Silberhorn jump) * ''Österreicherloch'' (Austrian hole) * ''Ziel-S'' (finish-S) which is endurance challenging and finally a finish jump (reduced in recent seasons) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lauberhorn ski races」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
