Katharina troop cheers: Best Slalom-Platz at World Cup despite medal pech!

Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Österreich - In the event of fantastic conditions, the women's slalom has captivated the spectators at the Alpinski World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm. While the Swiss Camille Rast surprisingly won golden medal, the Vorarlberg woman Katharina Liensberger cheered the third over bronze. Katharina Truppe from Carinthia achieved the best performance of the season with her seventh place. "It was my most beautiful feeling for years," enthused troop after crossing the finish line and nobody could hide her joy.

RAST, the first Swiss slalom world champion since 1991, prevailed against Wendy Holdener and led the Swiss team to an impressive double victory. With 16,700 spectators on the route, the mood was terrific. Shiffrin, who started the event with an impressive series of six slalace medals in a row, went away empty -handed and took fifth place. The tension of the World Cup was tangible, while the highlight of the competition culminated in a number of breathtaking trips. Huber and Gallhuber, on the other hand, were less lucky and did not classify themselves among the best.

Austria's women on the success course

Despite the disappointments, Austria remains proud of the previous performance in Saalbach. With a total of seven medals, including gold for Stephanie Venier in the Super-G, the ÖSV team shows strong performances. The ÖSV women's chief coach Roland Assinger praised the team and said that the slalom was a "great degree for women". Troop also emphasized that the bronze medal in the team combination helped her to get into the race with more looseness and self-confidence.

The emotional setbacks for some athletes, such as Gallo, who left in the first round, and Huber, who fell back to the 14th place to 14th, illustrate the incredible challenges in sport: "It is very bitter when you can leave in an athletic career in the first round," said Gallhuber her disappointment. Nevertheless, the overall impression of the competition remains overwhelming and after an intensive competition, the anticipation for the upcoming races in the alpine ski world remains unbroken.
