ÖSV skiers demand in the slalom: Can they reach the podium?
An exciting day for Austrian skiing is coming up as the men's slalom in Hafjell, Norway takes place today! The ÖSV men have high hopes for their first World Cup victory of the season. However, one of the main players, Manuel Feller, expressed his expectations with subdued expectations: "I've spent a lot of time in the horizontal position in the last week. It's slowly getting better again," he said, as he recovers from a health problem. Feller's goal is to at least reach the podium, while he is supported by a fan club with over 500 members in Norway who give him a lot of joy and motivation.
Fabio Gstrein, Dominik Raschner and Marco Schwarz are also at the start for the Austrian fans. The latter has had to struggle with many failures so far this season, but has shown himself to be fighting: “The love for slalom is still there, it burns,” said the 29-year-old. He shows confidence after two intensive days of training and says that his back problems should soon be a thing of the past. Today in Hafjell the best skiers in the world will fight for victory, starting at 9:30 a.m. for the first round, followed by a second round at 12:30 p.m.
