2010 Audi FIS Ski World Cup Final Battle

The upcoming weekend will reveal the winner of the 2010 Audi FIS Ski World Cup who will take the crystal ball home. It is 46 centimeters high, weighs twelve kilograms, is hand-crafted from lead crystal – and the object of any skier’s desire, Audi says, so it should be a fierce fight.

It will be hard to make a decision, with Maria Riesch, Lindsey Vonn, Benjamin Raich and Carlo Janka lining up to compete for the prize.

Audi has been the title sponsor of the World Cup and supporting its athletes since the 2002/2003 season.

“Dynamism, sportiness, elegance and precise techniques and technology – many values of competitive skiing perfectly fit the Audi brand. We’re happy about this long and successful partnership and, above all, look forward to a thrilling finale of our eighth joint season,” said Peter Schwarzenbauer, Member of the Board of Management of AUDI AG for Marketing and Sales.

“Since the exploits of the German sportsmen and women at the Olympic Games attracted their attention,” added Schwarzenbauer, “we’re sure that even more fans of the sport will be keeping their fingers crossed for Maria Riesch and the other athletes.”


After the decisions in downhill, giant slalom, super-G and slalom, fans will also get to witness a world premiere: for the first time, the Nations Cup will feature a new and attractive format. The Nations Team Event will see two ladies and two men per category will fight a duel of nations in a parallel giant slalom race. The winning team will be qualified for the next round. One point is awarded per win; the 16 best nations will compete.
