Katrin Beierl: With flying colors on the podium in the two -way bob of the European Championship!

Katrin Beierl inspires with her outstanding appearance at the BOB World Cup in Lillehammer, where she took the impressive seventh place as part of the European Bob. This placement secured her 13th place in the World Cup classification. Gold went to the German bobber driver Laura Nolte, while Beierl also starts on Sunday in two-person bobs. Unfortunately, due to an injury to Markus Treichl, no further Austrian sledges are represented at the European Championship, such as krone.at reported.

Another success for the Austrian team followed in the ice channel of Sigulda, where Katrin Beierl, together with the Dutchman Jennifer Onasanya, was able to drive onto the podium for the first time in the World Cup. With only 0.13 seconds behind, they had to give up the German bobsuits Mariama Jamanka and Vanessa Mark. Third place also went to a German team. Despite the strong competition, Beierl was able to shine and spoke of a good run, especially in the second run, which was highly praised by national coach Wolfgang Stammfer. He emphasized that in the first run they had a loss through a crosser, so that the fight for first place could have been more exciting, like laola1.at highlighted.

challenges and support

The route in Sigulda has been a challenge for Beierl in the past, as it had fallen heavily on her first visit. But her current appearance shows impressive progress. "It went quite well today," said Beierl and is optimistic about the next competition in Sigulda. Due to positive Corona cases, however, there will be no male participants from Austria this week, which the team puts particularly pressure on. Nevertheless, Beierl expressed joy over the space gained and the opportunity to bring something countable home.
