Katharina Liensberger: Fight for the last World Cup podium in slalom!

Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Österreich - in Saalbach-Hinterglemm it will be exciting on Saturday! The former slalom world champion Katharina Liensberger wants to go back to the podium at the last women's race of the Ski World Cup. In front of a home crowd, the 27-year-old Vorarlberg feels particularly comfortable and does everything possible to further expand her previous record of five World Cup Edelmetals. "I feel good and want to show my best skiing," said the talented athlete, who uses the pressure of the many fans as an incentive. As reports krone.at , her first podium splash in the World Cup 2019 was at the night slalom of Flachau - an achievement that she wants to repeat the last race with full passion.

After the giant slalom is behind Liensberger, she directs her entire concentration to the “matter of the heart” slalom. Your goal? A happy finish where she can share the moment with the enthusiastic fans. "Even if the last competitions did not run as desired, for me everything is snow from yesterday," she explains how Kleinezeitung.at describes. The slalom was disappointing in the team combination, but the shock has been overcome. "I think the Liensi is hot. It still has an invoice with this slalom hill," adds ÖSV chief coach Roland Assinger.
