Bitter fall: Huber fails before the first goal on Semmering!
Bitter fall: Huber fails before the first goal on Semmering!
On December 28, 2024, the Austrian ski athlete Katharina Huber experienced a turbulent start at the giant slalom at Semmering, which was anything but successful. The 29-year-old Lower Austrian went onto the slopes with the start number 49, but there was already a failed fall at the first goal. Huber, who had only fought for the race in the qualification on Friday, slipped off at the start and fell into the goal with his face, like the ÖSV reported.
It was a particularly bitter moment for Huber because she had only qualified for this home World Cup under hard competition. An exciting performance was planned on the magic mountain, but after a few seconds the adventure was over again. Fortunately, despite the dramatic fall, Huber was unharmed. Especially since the scene appears quite strange in the video, the event was also made by the Turbulent situation in detail.

The fall caused confusion and disappointment among the spectators. Huber seemed to lose his balance when the start of the start and finally put on a belly stain, similar to a small accident that is frustrating for an athlete in this competition environment. Such a missed start in her career is certainly not what you hope for - especially not on home, where the support of the fans should actually be motivating.
