Fellers comeback: a fourth and new hope for the ski season!

Sölden, Österreich - On Saturday, December 16, 2024, Manuel Feller experienced a comeback in Val d’Isère after a series of four failures. The Tyrolean took fourth place and was relieved, although the almost six hundredths of him to the podium were painfully close. "If you write a nuller four times in a series, I am close," Feller confessed and at the same time focused on the positive aspects: "But you can only check it off-and I succeeded," said the 32-year-old after his solid race, which brought him praise from teammates. Marco Schwarz, who returned after a cruciate ligament tear, also left after the first run, but showed great potential during his comeback, which was rated positively despite the early failure, as krone.at reported.

The ski season is shaped by Feller by longing to leave the bad memories of last season behind. A fall at the World Cup had made the past year very challenging for him. He remembered a time when the fun of skiing was lost: "The last one and a half months of last season were very difficult." But now he is ready to focus on the new challenges and explains: "The most important thing was to get the bad memories out of his head," said Feller in retrospect of his difficulties. He has successfully dismantled these mental barriers to go into the upcoming races with optimism, such as held.
