Austrian skiers disappoint in Alta Badia
In contrast, the Austrian racers experienced a bitter disappointment in skiing. After the last encouraging performance in Val d’Iere, they stayed with the race in Alta Badia without podium. As the best of ÖSV, Stefan Brennsteiner landed on the winner Marco Odermatt in the 14th place with a gap of 2.32 seconds. The Swiss was unimpressed by the challenging conditions and secured the overall victory with his best time in the second round. This was his impressive 41st World Cup victory, with which he overtook Pirmin Zurbliggen and is now the sole record winner of Switzerland in the World Cup, such as ski1.at . Patrick Feurstein and Marco Schwarz also disappointed because they missed the best ranks and could not move into the top 20. Manuel Feller and other Austrian athletes even failed in the first round.
