Julia Scheib: comeback heroine in the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora!

Julia Scheib returned to the Ski World Cup with an impressive performance. After almost two years off due to injury, the young Styrian achieved her best result in the World Cup at the giant slalom in Kranjska Gora - an outstanding 13th place, which made her the best Austrian in the race. Scheib, who went through a long period of suffering in February 2021 as a result of a torn cruciate ligament, celebrated her comeback there and has now made a strong comeback. “It was a really good step,” she explained after the race, in which, after a mixed start in 23rd place in the first round, she moved up to 13th place and achieved the sixth fastest running time in the second round. This performance clearly shows how good she is now feeling again, after having had a difficult time in the races at Semmering meinkreis.at reported.

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