Fighting spirit in the Super-G: Austria's ladies hunting for precious metal!

On Thursday, February 11th, all eyes look at the Austrian quartet in the Super-G at the Ski World Championship. Cornelia Hütter, Stephanie Venier, Ariane Rädler and Ricarda Haaser compete to finally get the first medal for Austria, after a disappointing zero number in the team competition. As Vol.at reports, the athletes feel no additional pressure. You have set the clear goal: "One, two or three." In the Super-G it will be particularly important for precise driving and fighting spirit, especially because the area is demanding and steep.

The competition and the opponents

The competition is strong - both the Swiss and the Italians will throw everything into the balance in time for the World Cup. Hütter sees the Super-G as a big challenge because the course often has surprises ready. "If you look up from the target area, you will see a wall that you will fight," quotes OE24.at The athlete. Hütter explains that she does not want to worry too much, but simply wants to run her course and underlines: "Even if small mistakes happen, you have to fight to the finish."

Stephanie Venier, who came up with a second place in St. Anton, sees itself as an outsider and plans to pull through her own style. "I'm not worried. Pressure, printing, everything doesn't matter. From the start to the finish, it means going all in," said Venier. Ricarda Haaser also has high expectations: "The waves are great, that is good for me. It is a lot of fun when you get a little air-time." For Ariane Rädler, who has not yet received a downhill ticket, the goal is clear: "It only counts one, two, three. So full attack."
