Liensberger fights flu: Will she win the fight for the ball?

The Austrian slalom driver Katharina Liensberger is under pressure while she is fighting for her chances in the upcoming season. At the weekend she will compete in Aare in slalom, more than 100 points behind the leading Zrinka Ljutic. The competition is bitterly necessary, because Liensberger is plagued by a flu infection, which makes their participation in the giant slalom uncertain. Loud Laola1 is the weather in the struggle for the small ball between Ljutic and Camille Rast, with resting not only Liensberger, but also with his own injury problems.

Whether Liensberger can still intervene in the decisive phase of the season may be decided on Sunday. In order to maintain her chances, she needs a lace -up result, while her competitors have to gamble potential points. During a disappointing appearance in the World Cup Riesentor run recently, Liensberger was only able to reach 26th place in the first run despite her start number 19 and left further valuable time in the second round, as Krone reported. "Good train and determination were missing," said Liensberger and speaks of numerous factors that affect their performance.

The situation is also complicated by the achievements and resistance of its rival. While the showdown around the small ball between Ljutic and Rast gains against the background of Liensberger's health difficulties in drama, the tactics and form of other athletes such as Wendy Holdener and Mikaela Shiffrin will be decisive. Only the time will show whether Liensberger can bring about the turn and what twists the final race in Sun Valley has ready for you.
