Feller surprises with a strong slalom podium in Kranjska Gora!

In Kranjska Gora, Tyrolean skier Manuel Feller experienced an exciting race and secured third place in the slalom. After the disappointing course of the home world championship, Feller showed that he is still present as a competition in the World Cup. "I am a little surprised that such a time and placement came out-but I would like to take it with me, every podium is nice," said the 32-year-old in an interview with the Krone . Although only 23 hundredths were missing for victory, he found that his performance was not flawless and remains motivated: "I can win races at any time."

Kristoffersen triumphed

Henrik Kristoffersen from Norway crowned his weekend with the victory in the slalom and expanded his leadership in the discipline rating. He moves away from second -placed compatriot Timon Haugan with a lead of 0.17 seconds. Feller, who went into the second round in the slalom as sixth, managed to leave the competition behind thanks to a solid performance, even if he had the feeling that he had made his best trip. "It was now at least 80, 90 percent very good. The field is just so tight, there can always be something," he explained according to Kleine Zeitung .

The Austrian men's team continues to wait for the first World Cup victory of the season after this weekend - this is already the second highest series without success, which last ended in 1987. Coach Marko Pfeifer remains optimistic: "We want to win races, will continue to try it." Feller remains optimistic and sets the goal of climbing the podium again in the current season, while he continues to support positive fundraisers for charitable purposes that are close to his heart.
