Feller is struggling with physical problems: Will he make it through the second round?

An exciting giant slalom will be held today in Alta Badia, Austria, which is characterized by dramatic returns and unacceptable slope conditions. Manuel Feller, still suffering from gastrointestinal problems, confused the spectators with a gap of 2.65 seconds to the half-time leader Filip Zubcic. “I don’t want to use that as an excuse,” emphasizes the Tyrolean, but he is self-critical and makes it clear that he is currently not in top form. He also expressed concern about the piste conditions and said: “The pistes are already in a very poor condition.” krone.at reported.

The big sensation of the day, however, is the comeback winner Marco Schwarz, who is celebrating an impressive comeback after his serious injury in the giant slalom. He took a strong sixth place in the first round (+0.69), making him the best Austrian. Ahead of him are Croatia's Filip Zubcic and Norway's Alexander Steen Olsen, who are fighting for victory. After a mistake in the upper section of the track, Stefan Brennsteiner finished in twelfth place, 1.28 seconds behind. Patrick Feurstein cannot convince either and ends up outside the top positions, 2.30 seconds behind. The results show that the race for victory is extremely close, with Marco Odermatt and Henrik Kristoffersen close behind the front in third and fourth place, as laola1.at determines. The second round starts at 1:30 p.m. and promises more drama!
