The pressure increases: Feller in front of a decisive slalom race in Saalbach!

Manuel Feller is under enormous pressure in Saalbach on Sunday: the slalom race is considered the decisive event of his career. This home world championship is not only a competition for the 32-year-old ski star, but also the greatest chance of a gold medal in his home area. "That would probably be even bigger than Kitzbühel," says Feller, who emphasizes that a defeat here would be one of the greatest bitter disappointments he has ever experienced. After a non-optimal team combination, in which he went away with Vincent Kriechmayr, the slalom is now the last chance of a medal, such as Laola1 . The expectation among the Austrian ski fans is huge and the stadium will be filled to the last place to cheer Feller.

emotions and triumph

The pressure that is on Fellers shoulders is immense. Despite the tension, he has created emotional breaks that show his vulnerability. When the crystal ball was presented for the best slalom driver of the season in Saalbach, he was difficult to hold back his tears. At a moving moment, he devoted a little farewell greeting to his late friend Mathi in the snow, which visibly touched him. He explained that this loss had a deep influence on his life. "I just wanted to share a little moment with him," said the emotional feller according to TAG24

with heart and passion, Feller is now preparing for his most important racing. His friends, including his fiance and children, will support him on site. While the pressure increases, both he and his trainer Marko Pfeifer know about the driver's extraordinary skills. "Manu knows very well what he can deliver," says Pfeifer optimistically. The last race of the World Cup could be the emotional highlight of his career for Feller, and the mood in the stadium could increase this celebration.
