Brilliant start of the Ski World Cup: troop and Venier with bronze medal!

In a gripping race at the Ski World Cup in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, the two Austrian skiers Stephanie Venier and Katharina Truppe fought the bronze medal in the team combination on Tuesday. With their successful performance, the duo prevailed against strong competition and only had to give up the American star athlete Breezy Johnson and Mikaela Shiffrin as well as the Swiss team with Lara Gut-Behrami and Wendy Holdener, as krone.at . The Austrian team will continue exciting in the next few days, because Venier and troop are facing further challenges in the giant slalom and in special slalom.

The joy of winning the bronze medal was clearly noticeable among the two athletes. Venier, who already got her second medal at this World Cup, emphasized: "Now we have won the bronze medal as a team." The troop added that her nervousness was noticeable in the competition because she drove not only for herself but also for her team. After the award ceremony, however, a breakdown with the champagne bottle caused joy: "I didn't have the bottle open. Then I got more sparkling wine in the eyes than elsewhere," she said with a laugh (loud Salzburg24.at ).

Although other Austrian teams like Mirjam Puchner/Katharina Liensberger and Cornelia Hütter/Katharina Huber did not end up on the podium, the third place in Venier and troop was a bright spot for the ÖSV. Troupe was positive about the team combination and emphasized how exciting the competition was: "I also find it cool because the specialists drive in their own disciplines." This could also be a foretaste of the Olympic Games in Milan/Cortina, where the two could again have the chance of precious metal in the team combination.
