Feller disappointed: home World Cup without a podium in Saalbach!

Adelboden, Schweiz - A bitter setback for the Tyrolean ski racing driver Manuel Feller: At the Ski World Championships in Saalbach, he experienced a disappointment that hit him deep. "It hurts extremely," said the 32-year-old about the World Cup slalom, where he was unable to finish in the decisive second round after a solid performance in the first round, in which he reached the finish line with 1.28 seconds. Despite his 23,000 enthusiastic fans, who cheered him, he ended up in the ungrateful fourth place, only 27 hundredths of second place behind the German Linus Straßer. "When I go out empty, it is the biggest defeat that I have ever had," said Feller disappointed.

ominous turn in Adelboden

There was also disappointing news for Feller and the entire Austrian team at the slalom competition in Adelboden. Despite a strong performance in the first round, where it was in the lead until shortly before the finish, he failed shortly before the finish. He described this as "exactly that, of which I said yesterday in the interview that I didn't want it." In addition, his teammates Dominik Raschner and Adrian Pertl did not make it to the finish line either. The Frenchman Clement Noel won the Brazilian Lucas Pinheiro Braathen and Norwegian Henrik Kristoffersen. The best Austrian was Fabio Grein with a fifth place and Michael Matt, who was ninth in place, while Johannes Strolz slipped in 15th place after a weaker performance, such as Meinzirk.at reported.

The Austrian women also had to struggle with difficulties: Stephanie Venier, the best Austrian downhill in St. Anton, took five place. The races offered exciting stories, including the return of ski -ending Lindsey Vonn, who signed back to sixth place after a six -year break. In a day full of challenges, the ÖSV athletes without Stockerlplatz, which motivates them, remained even harder in the next competitions.
