Didier Défago takes over the management of the 2027 World Alpine Skiing Championships in Crans-Montana

To lead the organization of the 2027 Alpine Skiing World Championships in Crans-Montana, Swiss-Ski had chosen a woman with a sporting past and a brilliant professional career in positions of high responsibility. But Caroline Kuyper landed in a universe to which she was doubly foreign. Because Vaudoise in Valais. Because without recent experience in the field of winter sports. Did the problem come from there? What is certain is that she resigned less than two months following taking office, citing “serious dysfunctions”. And to replace her, Swiss-Ski made an almost antagonistic choice by hiring Didier Défago.
