50 years after World Cup gold – Twin anniversary for “Vid” in Pitztal

On Friday, “Vid”, as his friends call him, got on the train. “I’m going to Pitztal, I’m spending the weekend there,” the former racer, who won gold in the downhill and silver in the slalom in 1974 and came second in the World Cup the year before, told the “Krone”. Thanks to his good friendship with the landlord, Zwilling and the Kirchenwirt in Plangeroß can celebrate together today. Zwilling is a tender 75, the inn a proud 150! “I’ve always liked going there, but I haven’t been there for over a year,” says Zwilling.
