Shiffrin compensates for Stenmarks Record: Drama on comeback!

In the exciting slalom in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, the Austrian ski elite fought for valuable points in the Discipline World Cup. Mikaela Shiffrin celebrated an impressive comeback, and this with a record: The US star reached her 155th podium in her career and thus set the record of the Swedish ski giant Ingemar Stenmark. After her abdominal muscle surgery due to a seven centimeter deep wound during a previous giant slide, she proved that she can hit back after her injury. Shortly before she already became a team combination world champion and finished fifth in slalom.

In the competition, it didn't look quite as rosy for the domestic athlete Katharina Liensberger: she ended the race in ungrateful fourth place - her third in a row. "It was important to hit the traces," she commented, "but I was too straight in the middle section." Katharina troop, who had to fight back from fifth to twelve, did not find the right rhythm in the second round. She noted that she should approach the matter more easily. In addition, Katharina Gallhuber had to deal with the challenge of ending the run to the goal and did not get beyond 24th place. Despite its difficulties, the mood in the team remains optimistic, because there are other races this season, as vorarlberg.orf.at reports.

competition and challenges

The Discipline World Cup is led by LJUTIC, with Liensberger being 105 points ago and holding in third place. On the first Sunday of the competition, the Swiss world champion Camille rasted out in the first round and suffered a painful bruise. Liensberger now placed this closer to the top, despite her previous placements this season. Other athletes such as Franziska Gritsch and Leonie Raich also missed the second round and showed that the pressure of these competitions can also get the best out of balance, so vienna.at .
