Sljeme to host slalom races on Jan 4 and 6, 2013

The Audi FIS Ski World Cup Vip Snow Queen Trophy women's slalom race will be held on 4 January and the men's slalom race on 6 January 2013, a news conference announced earlier this week.

The dates were confirmed when the whole 2012/13 Audi FIS Ski World Cup calendar of events was confirmed at the FIS Congress in Kangwonland.

Men's FIS Ski World Cup chief race director Guenter Hujara was present at the news conference in Zagreb.

"I'm here in order to support this important sports event. I compliment the organisers on the excellent work that they are doing year in year out", Hujara said afterwards.

Also back in the programme, after a few seasons of break, on 6 January should be Sljeme's charity ski legends race.
