Hütter and Aicher rock ski World Cup: dramatic departure in Kvitfjell!

At the weekend there were exciting developments in the Alpine World Ski World Cup in Kvitfjell. The Styrian athlete Cornelia Hütter secured another podium with her third place in the second part of the alpine double descent. Hütter needed almost one and a half minutes for her run and only achieved 0.19 seconds behind the winner and new premiere winner Emma Aicher. The day before, she was able to shine at her first podium, while the American Lauren Macuga only finished 0.03 seconds behind Hütter, which also earned her a place on the departure podium. Hütter was satisfied after the race, but admitted that she had lost some valuable time at the decisive final jump, as she explained on ORF: "I will be missing a few km/h," she reported. Despite the challenges, she wants to attack again on Sunday in the Super-G.

Another gratifying moment came for the Vorarlbergian Ariane Rädler, who was also able to look forward to a podium. After a disappointing race the day before, Rädler wanted to fully exploit her potential that day: "Today I said to myself that I had to concentrate on my strengths," she said after her race and was happy about her third place and the emotional course of the competition. Hütter was only five hundredths behind her, which shows the latest stand in the Discipline World Cup, since Hütter was now able to make up the leading Laura Brignone in the overall ranking. This came only in fourth place and her lead melted to 16 points. Emma Aicher, who convinced with her speed and dynamics in the last part of the route, was also pleased. The Speed ​​ladies will go to St. Moritz in Switzerland this coming weekend, where more exciting races will be pending, such as skiastria.at and oe24.at report.
