Haaser wins gold and silver – ski star impresses in Saalbach!

A spectacular day for Austrian skiing: Raphael Haaser thrilled the spectators at the World Cup giant slalom in Saalbach and secured the gold medal. Together with another brilliant performance in the Super-G, where he won the silver medal behind the Swiss Marco Odermatt, the Tyrolean became the most successful Austrian skier at the event. Haaser not only took home medals, but also considerable prize money totaling 99,140 euros krone.at reported. This sum makes him the “cash king” of the skiing spectacle until the end of the competition.

The big favorite Marco Odermatt, who has already won numerous titles, was unable to pull himself together despite a “big mistake”, which took away valuable time and ultimately the opportunity for gold. The drama reached its climax when Loic Meillard was unable to assert himself and had to leave the lead to Haaser fis-ski.com held on.
