The municipality of Pfunds in the district of Landeck is particularly good with the early risers among the voters – there the polling stations for the Tyrolean state elections open at six o’clock sharp on Sunday. An hour later, in East Tyrol, the first electoral authorities in Innervillgraten, Ausservillgraten, Schlaiten, Oberlienz and Virgen are waiting for the early risers. The people of Untertilliach only open their polling station for the “Neuner-Jause”, which closes once more three hours later. That’s three hours for 183 eligible voters. In total, the democratic vote can be cast in 68 polling stations in the district.
Running has been an important topic in the past two years as an alternative exercise during the CoV restrictions. However, the popularity of large running events suffered greatly and sports organizers came under increasing pressure or are still feeling the followingmath.
Wachau marathon organizer Michael Buchleitner can also welcome only 5,000 participants to the 23rd edition this year instead of the usual 8,000 to 10,000. “Corona is still an issue and there are many people who avoid big events and also many who should not run on medical advice,” Buchleitner explained the decline in participants and also pointed out that the current economic situation is also having negative effects.
Half marathon remains a magnet for participants
The traditionally strongest distance is the half marathon once more this year, which once more starts in Spitz (Krems district) and attracts more than half of the participants. On the one hand in mass sports, where the Wachau can continue to score as a backdrop for one of the most beautiful landscape runs in Austria. On the other hand, the fast route along the Danube has also made a name for itself in the international running scene over the years. The current course record set by Kenyan Peter Kirui in 2016 is 59.53 minutes.

“It remains to be seen whether it will happen so quickly this year. There are few times that were run in Austria that were so fast. But in the elite area we have athletes at the start who can aim for the 60 minutes and on good days it might be faster,” says Buchleitner.
The elite field is small this year, but fine. The two Kenyans Simon Dudi Ekidor and Simon Mwangi Waithira set the pace for the men. Teresiah Kwamboka Omosa and Morine Gesare Michira, both also from Kenya, should set the best times for the women.
B3 closed until 4 p.m. on Sunday
Since the Wachau marathon will be run on public roads as usual, there will also be traffic delays on Sunday. The marathon in Emmersdorf (Melk district) and the half marathon in Spitz do not start until 10:00 a.m., but the B3 is closed from this section from 8:00 a.m. and will not be released once more until around 4:00 p.m.
The city center of Krems in the area of the ring road is then also reserved for runners. The finish area for all competitions is in the Stadtpark. The secondary roads around the park will reopen to traffic from 5 p.m. The other bank of the Danube between Mautern (Krems district) and Melk can be reached via the B33.
Axpo has not yet received a penny of the emergency credit of 4 billion francs granted by the Confederation, assures the chairman of the board of directors of the energy group. The company will do everything to get by on its own, he assures.
‘The rescue fund offers additional security in an extreme situation on the energy markets,’ said Thomas Sieber in an interview broadcast on Saturday to the newspapers of the press group CH-Media. Axpo can thus guarantee its contribution to Switzerland’s security of supply, he adds.
While the energy group had deposited 3.7 billion francs on the electricity exchange at the end of March, “now it is much more”, indicates the leader. “It’s not yet a double-digit billion, but it’s high.”
Strategic importance
These funds will however return to Axpo, when the contractually promised electricity is delivered, recalls Mr. Sieber. He points out that electricity trading is of great strategic importance to the company.
‘The nuclear power plants will be stopped, the hydraulic concessions are coming to an end and the hydroelectric power plants will be returned to the cantons,’ he explains. It is therefore important to have to be active in the electricity trade, he continues.
Axpo, a systemic energy group in Switzerland, was granted emergency credit to deal with soaring prices in the energy sector. Its managers have undertaken to waive bonuses if this loan were to be used.
