Haaser cheers: Silver in the Super-G-Austria celebrates at the World Cup!

At the Ski World Championship in Saalbach, the Austrian skier Raphael Haaser caused a sensation: he won the silver medal in the Super-G and thus secured the second medal for Austria at his home World Cup. Although Haaser was not entirely satisfied with his journey-especially in the middle section he lost time-he wrote in the ORF interview: "It was a very appealing journey in the upper part." The competition was strong, but Haaser kept Wacker next to the Swiss number-Ain Marco Odermatt, who again demonstrated his dominance. Der Schweizer, der nach einem vierten Platz im Vorlauf auftrumpfte, ließ Haaser hinter sich und siegte eindrucksvoll, wie ski1.at reported.

Odermatt on the podium

Marco Odermatt showed his class at the second Super-G in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and triumphed from Haaser and his Swiss teammate Franjo von Allmen. The improved slopes benefited from the World Cup dominator, which described his journey as "safe a ride on the limit". "It was a completely different race today than yesterday," said Odermatt, who managed to optimally use the slopes and optimize its time. His compatriot of Allmen, who shines in his first World Cup season, surprised with a remarkable third place and made it clear: "I don't know how I did it today. I'm very happy with my result."

Haaser's silver medal is not only a personal satisfaction after a disappointing 15th place in the first Super-G, but also underlines the strength of the Austrian ski team. The Upper Austrian emphasized that only the first three places at the Super-G are important and was pleased with his performance. Vincent Kriechmayr also wanted to shine next to him, but did not make it to the podium. Nevertheless, he expressed his admiration for Odermatt and its outstanding achievements, such as krone.at noted.
