After the Brandenburg Gate, now a ski race with natural snow, green electricity and vegan bratwurst: The climate protest movement is damaging its legitimate cause if it only seeks attention indiscriminately.
Color in the snow is about as special in ski races as white chalk on football fields, which is why the shock of the bright orange in Gurgl in the Ötztal quickly subsided. Four activists stormed the finish area during the slalom on Saturday, distributed their paint and interrupted the second round for a few minutes. There was a bit of excitement and then the race continued.
