ÖSV nominates strong cross-country team for World Cup in Trondheim!

Trondheim, Norwegen - The Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) has nominated a strong nine-member cross-country team for the upcoming Nordic Ski World Cup in Trondheim, which takes place from February 27th to March 9th. Among the athletes are the experienced cross -country skiers Teresa Stadlober and Mika Vermeulen, who list the medal hopes. In addition to four World Cup debutants-including Katharina Brudermann and Tobias Ganner-Michael Föttinger, Benjamin Moser and Lukas Mrkonjic, who have already gained experience at World Championships, are also said to prove their strength, such as laola1.at reported.

To prepare optimally for the World Cup, Stadlober and Vermeulen take part in the last World Cup competitions in Falun. The program includes the classic race over 10 km and the skating mass start over 20 km. This weekend will be decisive because the athletes have to adjust to the future World Cup routes. Vermeulen, who had last struggled with difficulties in training due to an illness, has now recovered well and wants to improve his achievements in the overall World Cup. It is currently in eighth place and is aiming for a top 5 placement. "I'm not worried about my shape now," so whatever, as reports the press . Stadlober, who competes as the overall World Cup, is also looking forward to the World Cup after preparing herself in an intensive training camp in Switzerland. She sees her return to the competition in Falun positively, even if the route is not one of her favorites. "The conditions have always been really difficult in recent years," she explains.

intensive preparation and strong competition

In addition, Stadlober is challenged by the Norwegian star runner Therese Johaub, who prepared for the World Cup with a long training block after her Tour-de-Ski victory. The competitions in Falun begin on Friday with the sprints, in which ÖSV athletes Benjamin Moser, Michael Föttinger and Lukas Mrkonjic will also compete. These races are not only an important step on the way to the World Cup, but also a way to demonstrate your own performance and adjust to the perfect form for the title fights, the sources report.
