Viktoria Bürgler in the World Cup: A sensation awaits at Semmering!

The eagerly awaited women's giant slalom World Cup race will take place in Semmering on Saturday. Salzburg's Viktoria Bürgler, one of the Austrian Ski Association's greatest hopes, was nominated among the participants. Bürgler, 20 years old, made a name for herself this season with her victory in the European Cup giant slalom in Zinal and is now competing in the World Cup for the second time. Her debut was last season, but she missed qualifying for the second round. “This is certainly a highlight of my career so far,” emphasized Bürgler before her home race Salzburg News reported.

A goal full of emotions

For Bürgler it is clear that she wants to give it her all: “I just want to show my best skiing and take full risks.” Her goal is to get her first World Cup points, and she is confident that something is possible if the slope conditions are optimal. However, she admits that there is still some room for improvement in training compared to experienced runners like Julia Scheib, but that doesn't take away her motivation. “Something is still missing, but I’m not that far away,” she added.
