The World Cup race of yesteryear doesn't have much in common with today's show. The start was in the village of Lenzerheide with the long gravel climb up to the Scharmoin middle station, where the athletes completed their laps and the finish was at the middle station. The term "spectator appeal" did not yet exist back then.

But back then, the World Cup races were broadcast by Eurosport, and thanks to the digital media, there is a wonderful record of this:

2025 version in September

The top athletes will be competing here again in 2025 from September 19 to 21 - but with a much more spectator-friendly cross-country course and downhill races. This discipline did not even exist in 1994!
