The World Championships entourage comprised a total of 2,500 people.
24 competitions were held over 11 days.

350 journalists from 19 nations reported from Kreischberg and Lachtal.
The TV broadcast in 25 countries and on YouTube attracted worldwide attention.
800 volunteers were responsible for the excellent organisation.

Many thanks to all associations, helpers, sponsors and cooperation partners!!
