How the STAR CHALLENGE works
In the Hermann Maier STAR CHALLENGE, each team consists of a celebrity and a ski legend. First, the professional skier takes on the course, followed by their celebrity teammate. Before their run, the celebrity predicts how many seconds slower they will be than their professional partner. The aim is to achieve times as close to each other as possible. Success requires not only sporting skill, but also a good sense of timing and accurate judgement.
