The racetrack has been prepared, the athletes have arrived in Val Gardena/Gröden, the organization is ready to go - and with it also the Saslong editorial board, which is celebrating its 16th anniversary this year. Throughout the week, the five-person-strong team will report online about the racing events in Val Gardena/Gröden and thus keep ski fans, journalists and media people from all over the world up to date. How the trainings and races went, what was talked about in the team captains’ meeting, what the athletes say about their races - all this and more can be found directly on the website redesigned by the company "Gardena.net" - www.saslong.org. Social media are also included in this bundle: the most important news is published on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

While Evi Hilpold coordinates the online editorial team, Matteo Igini and Kathrin Dellago are responsible for the translations into the Italian and English languages as well as Christian Plankl for the content on the social media. Katharina Graeber completes the technical work. From Thursday on, the editors will also be supported by Romina Plancker.

Wolfgang Resch is leading the team in his role of head of communications.

The photographers Robert Perathoner and Harald Wisthaler provide for plenty of appealing visual images.
