Lukas Feurstein surprises with a sensational podium in Beaver Creek!

Beaver Creek, USA - The 23-year-old Lukas Feurstein caused a sensation at the Super-G in Beaver Creek! With a considerable run, the Vorarlberg secured its first podium in the Ski World Cup. After a gripping competition, he landed in third place behind the two stars Marco Odermatt and Cyprien Sarrazin, only 47 hundredths of a second behind the overall World Cup winner of the pre -season. "It's brutally cool, I'm extremely happy," said Feurstein after his surprising success, such as laola1.at reported. This was already the fifth podium for the Austrian men this winter.

Feurstein exceeds itself

With start number 24 Feurstein showed his skills on the demanding route, which many technicians challenged. "I knew I had to attack, I succeeded," he said, adding that he now feels painlessly on the ski. This success marks a turn for the young skier, who has often been thrown back in the past due to injuries. "We worked brutally well in summer", continued Feurstein, which led to this promising start to the season, as well as suedtirolnews.it determined.

Despite the joy of Feurstein's success, the mood for Vincent Kriechmayr, who landed in sixth place, was clouded. In the meantime, the Upper Austrian held the third position, but had to stand in the back and said disappointed: "I took out too much speed." Kriechmayr cannot be entirely satisfied with this result, even though the entire team showed good approaches. Marko Pfeifer, the ÖSV chief coach, was relieved by Feurstein's podium: "The spell is broken." While Odermatt celebrated his first win of the season, the focus of the Austrian team remains on the upcoming races.
