Austria's ski men: Is there a threat of a historic winless series?

Austria's alpine men have reached a dramatic low point, which is not only causing excitement in the national sport, but is also causing ridicule internationally. Loud oe24.at The ÖSV ski men have now been without a World Cup victory for 40 races. With just four competitions remaining this season, the team faces a real danger of matching the historically embarrassing record of 44 races without a win, last achieved in the 1986/87 season.

The Swiss media are concerned about the sporting decline of their neighbor and speak of a “sporting disaster”. Particularly with regard to the upcoming World Cup final in Sun Valley, there are concerns that the ÖSV men could be pushed out of second place in the nations rankings behind Switzerland, which would result in additional ridicule from Switzerland.
