Alpine skiing with new voices
SRF will also kick off the new ski season with the World Cup opener in Sölden on October 25 and 26, 2014. Jann Billeter and Marco Felder will now take turns providing commentary on the women’s races, each accompanied by expert Michi Bont.
Jann Billeter and Marco Felder are now commentating on the women's alpine ski races. They will be assisted, as usual, by SRF ski expert Michi Bont. Jann Billeter: "Skiing has fascinated me since my childhood. Since 2003, I have been a presenter at World Cup races and World Championships. Now I'm looking forward to accompanying the women's team in the World Cup season in a new role, as a commentator." Marco Felder on his new role: "Ever since I was a child, I have followed alpine ski races with interest. In recent years, I've been able to be on site at the races time and again as a reporter for SRF, which has increased my interest even more. Now I'm really looking forward to this new challenge."
The coverage of the men's races remains unchanged. Matthias Hüppi and Dani Kern will comment alternately on the action on the world cup slopes, together with SRF ski expert Bernhard Russi. From February 2 to 15, 2015, the Alpine Ski World Championships will take place in Vail / Beaver Creek. The highlight of the winter calendar will be broadcast in prime time. SRF zwei will show all races live, plus background reports, interviews and assessments on TV, radio and online.
