Julia Scheib: Comeback heroine in the giant slalom of Kranjska Gora!

In the Ski World Cup, Julia Scheib returned with an impressive appearance. After almost two years of injury -related break, the young Styrian achieved her best result in the World Cup at the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora - an outstanding 13th place that made her the best Austrian in the race. Scheib, who had experienced a long period of suffering in February 2021 due to a cruciate ligament rupture, celebrated her comeback there and now reported a lot. "It was a really good step," she said after the race, in which after a mixed prelude to 23rd place in the first round to 13, and there was the six -fastest term in the second round. This performance clearly shows how good it now feels again after it was still difficult for her in the races on Semmering, how meinzirk.at reported.

Julia Scheib has called a "hard time" over the past few months. After four operations and 682 days without competition, every step on the slopes was a step into the uncertainty. She says that in November she did not yet have the form that the audience was now allowed to admire from her. At the New Year's Race at Semmering, she already felt that she would not be fully fit. But now, after a good training and positive thoughts in Kranjska Gora, she pulled self -confidence from her appearance. The 26-year-old ski athlete now wants to show her performance consistently and is full of hope of climbing the podium in the next race.
