ÖSV women in Sestriere: Ski debacle ensures great perplexity!

Sestriere, Italien - The focus was on the women's ski World Cup at the Sestriere at the weekend in Sestriere, which ended in a clear disappointment for the Austrian athletes. No ÖSV team member managed to get the top ten. The victory went to the Swiss Wendy Holdener, who was able to look forward to her fifth success with an additional World Cup victory. Katharina Liensberger was the best Austrian in 14th place, followed by Katharina Truppe in 17th place. This was another déjà-vu, after only modest results were achieved in the giant slalom on Saturday, such as oe24.at reported.

difficult conditions and helplessness

The slope in Sestriere placed high demands on the drivers, which did not live up to many. Liensberger recorded a gap of 2.93 seconds, while troops left the race behind with +3.45 seconds. "It is a debacle, none of us have gone anything," admitted troops. Katharina Huber also had Pech and already left out in the first round. "It is a brutal tough story, there is still so much work ahead of us," Truppe looked at the upcoming challenges, as in laola1.at

The competition could be mixed up by the achievements of newcomers to collect points for the first time. At the top was the Swede Hanna Aronsson Elfman, who took fourth place in the second round with the fastest term in the second round and thus achieved her best career result. While the ÖSV team keeps an eye on the upcoming technical races, it remains to be seen whether they can improve their shape by Semmering.
