Haaser fetches silver - an emotional race despite the serious injury to the sister!

Saalbach, Österreich - The Ski World Championships in Saalbach wrote another exciting chapter. The Swiss Marco Odermatt sensationally triumphed the Super-G and secured the gold medal with a perfect run on Friday. At the finish, he was a second faster than the Austrian Raphael Haaser, who can also shine with his silver square, especially considering the adverse circumstances. Haaser received the news of the serious injury of his sister Ricarda, who got a cruciate ligament and meniscus injury in the race in the same discipline, and devoted part of his medal. According to

a shock and a glossy performance

The course over 2.341 meters with 46 goals was a major challenge for the athletes. While Odermatt confirmed its dominant form from the recent times- it has already shown three overall World Cup and nine individual rating triumphs- the fight for the other medals was highly fought. Adrian Smiseth Sejersted from Norway secured the bronze medal, while the Austrian defending champion Vincent Kriechmayr finished almost four hundredths of a second behind him. Odermatt was satisfied after his run and emphasized that he was "extremely relaxed" since he was now under no pressure, since he has already achieved more than enough, such as Sports.yahoo.com reported.

Haaser has proven this season that he has enormous potential and can look back on his second World Cup medal after the bronze in the 2023 combination. His team-mate Lukas Feurstein even considers him to be a future challenger for the crown in the Super-G. "The raphi can bend the Odermatt. He will certainly do that at some point," says Feurstein. But the Iceman Haaser remains modest and focuses on further success in his career.
