Kriechmayr is self-critical: Only the material is convincing in the Super-G!

In a thrilling Super-G race in Beaver Creek where competition was strong, Austrian ski star Vincent Kriechmayr took third place behind riders Marco Odermatt and Cyprien Sarrazin. Despite this solid performance, Kriechmayr was dissatisfied with his own driving style. After the race he said: "I slowed down way too much and sweated way too much. That's not how you win a war." The pressure on the athletes was enormous, as only two of the first seven starters made it to the finish line, which made the challenge even greater. Cheren, surprised by the form of his competitors yesterday, emphasized that he had to orientate himself better in his run and stay true to what he had set out to do. He is aware that the younger Austrian talents, including Lukas Feurstein, can catch up quickly, as they showed in the race when Feurstein sensationally took third place Krone.at reported.

In Kvitfjell, another athlete celebrated a remarkable success: the Norwegian Read achieved his first podium result in the World Cup and was enthusiastic about his performance. “I’m really excited and happy with how I did,” he said. The weather and snow conditions in Norway were particularly beneficial for him as they were reminiscent of the conditions back home. Although Read lost some time during his run, he felt comfortable overall and managed his first crisis experience well under control in this famous course. “For me it's the first time I've been so close to the top and on the podium, so I'm excited,” he added, while praising the support of his legendary father Ken Read, as fis-ski.com reported.
