Feurstein inspires with the first podium in the Ski World Cup!

In the fifth race of the Ski World Cup season, 23-year-old Lukas Feurstein from Vorarlberg fought for an outstanding podium with his third place in the Super-G in Beaver Creek. This was not only his first Stockerlplatz in the Ski World Cup, but also the first podium for the Austrian men this season. "Definitely mega," cheered Feurstein after the race in the United States, in which he placed Sarrazin from France with only 47 hundred stalls behind the two internationally renowned skiers Marco Odermatt from Switzerland and Cyprien, like Sn.at reported.

The Mellauer Ski professional, which started with number 24 this season, demonstrated his talent on the technically demanding route of the Birds of Prey. "I come from the giant slalom and that's why I feel comfortable when it gets difficult. And that was it. You have to attack and I succeeded well," he said proudly. The team of the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) showed a strong collection of achievements: Vincent Kriechmayr took sixth place despite a relapse, while Daniel Danklmaier achieved ninth place and Stefan Eichberger secured 14th place. Otmar Striedinger and Daniel Hemetsberger also collected points for the team, while Raphael Haaser and other drivers could not reach the target area.

First win of the season for Odermatt

The big winner of the day was Marco Odermatt, who celebrated his first win of the season with this race and already his 38th Super-G victory as a whole. "I love the Super-G here," the 27-year-old confessed and emphasized that the slope is one of the most technical challenges in the racing calendar. The Swiss triumphed through his peers through a kel recognizable strategy and the right degree of aggressiveness in skiing, which gave him the decisive advantage. The championship in the Super-G is shaped by the difficult route and strategic decisions of the athletes, which gives every driver the potential to become a star of the race, such as vorarlberg.orf documented.
