FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1989
The FIS Alpine World Ski Championships 1989 were held February 2–12 in the United States at Vail , Colorado .[ 1] Outside of the Winter Olympics of 1960 and 1980 , the alpine world championships returned to the U.S. for the first time since 1950 , which were also in Colorado at Aspen . Vail's first championship served to re-introduce Colorado to a European audience, with coverage of the events broadcast during prime time due to the difference in time zones .[ 2] The championship was marked by the death of the president of the Spanish Olympic Committee Alfonso, Duke of Anjou and Cádiz , who was beheaded by a cable which he collided with as it was being raised to support a finish line banner.[ 3]
Vail and Beaver Creek later hosted the World Championships a decade later, in 1999 , and again in 2015 .
