Manuel Feller disappointed fans: No competitions in Beaver Creek!

What an unexpected appearance! The Austrian ski star Manuel Feller causes a sensation on Instagram by placing himself into ice-cold waters-" cooling up for the soul ", as he himself describes it. His followers are enthusiastic and even compare it to Formula 1 driver Valtteri Bottas, who is known to also venture into the water naked. Nevertheless, it remains unclear where the Tyrolean is exactly.

But not everything runs smoothly for the successful slalom driver. On the upcoming weekend, Feller will be missing at the World Cup race in Beaver Creek after he did not show the desired performance in the first three season races and has to cancel due to hip pain. This would have been the only appointment for him at the upcoming overseas races. However, Feller plans to start again on December 14th and 15th at the technical races in Val d'Isère after recovering.

A look at his career

The 32-year-old has made a name for himself in the alpine racing scene. Feller specializes in technical disciplines such as slalom and giant slalom and celebrated his breakthrough in the World Cup in November 2012. His success in the 2024 season is particularly noteworthy, in which he won his first World Cup discipline title in the slalom. He has reached impressive 72 top ten placements by March 17, 2024, including 6 wins in slalom.
