Marco Schwarz struggles with setback: shock performance in Alta Badia!

An immense disappointment for Austria's skiing nation: Marco Schwarz was unable to convince the giant slalom team in Alta Badia after his recent comeback. The Carinthian finished the race more than four seconds behind the winner, the Swiss Marco Odermatt, and spoke of a “shitty situation”. Schwarz went on to say that the most difficult conditions on the slopes severely affected his mental and physical performance and he definitely needs more self-confidence to catch up with the best again, he said Krone.at.

The slalom in Alta Badia proved to be a challenge for the Austrian athletes. Stefan Brennsteiner was the best of them with a 14th place, 2.32 seconds behind. Meanwhile, Marco Odermatt triumphed with a best running time in the second round, securing his 41st World Cup victory, making him Switzerland's sole record winner among men, it was reported Laola1.at. Particularly disappointing was the performance of Schwarz, who fell to 26th place after a promising first run, and other Austrian ski athletes such as Manuel Feller and Noel Zwischenbrugger, who both missed the second run.
