Zielstrebig nach oben. Von Anfang an.
Ausdauer, Einsatz, Beständigkeit und die richtige Technik – Erfolg stellt sich nur ein, wenn
man weiss, was man tut und seine Ziele konsequent verfolgt. Das ist im Sport genau wie in
der Finanzbranche. Weil jeder das machen sollte, was er am besten kann, überlassen wir die
Piste lieber unserem Ski-Nachwuchs und freuen uns auf spannende und faire Wettkämpfe
beim OPA U16 Cup in Malbun.
Als Hauptsponsor Alpin drücken wir allen Athleten die Daumen und wünschen ihnen das
notwendige Quäntchen Glück für den Erfolg.

Introduction
Introduction
Sportive Challenge
At the OPA Presidential Conference on Friday, 27th of October 2017 it has
been decided, that we have the honour to organize the first OPA U-16 Cup in
Liechtenstein. The current Seven Nations Cup U-16 shall be changed to the
OPA U-16 Cup and welcoming ten nations. Malbun already made its reputation
in the past in organizing FIS- and Spring-Races in the international Race-Calendar.
Therefore we are looking forward to being able to also arrange the OPA
U-16 Cup.
The promotion of young talents has big importance for the Liechtenstein
Ski Association. Requirements herefore are ideal training conditions and an
infrastructure that allows such sportive challenges. To further enjoy the good
reputation, it is necessary to realize international competitions. Nevertheless the
Organization of this event is a sportive challenge for us and only is possible due
to a big number of volunteers. Special thanks goes to all the numerous volunteers
and sponsors that took part to make the realization of this successful event
possible.
Let us be the best ambassadors for the Principality of Liechtenstein and giving a
warm welcome to our guests.
