Lukas Feurstein surprises with a sensational podium finish in Beaver Creek!

23-year-old Lukas Feurstein caused a sensation at the Super-G in Beaver Creek! With a remarkable run, the Vorarlberg native secured his first podium place in the Ski World Cup. After a thrilling competition, he ended up in third place behind the two stars Marco Odermatt and Cyprien Sarrazin, just 47 hundredths of a second behind the overall World Cup winner from the previous season. “It’s brutally cool, I’m extremely happy,” said Feurstein after his surprising success laola1.at reported. This was the fifth podium for the Austrian men this winter.

Feuerstein surpasses himself

With starting number 24, Feurstein demonstrated his skills on the demanding track, which challenged many technicians. “I knew I had to attack, and I did well,” he explained, adding that he now feels pain-free on the skis. This success marks a turning point for the young skier, who has often been set back by injuries in the past. “We worked brutally well in the summer,” continued Feurstein, which led to this promising start to the season suedtirolnews.it determines.

Despite the joy of Feurstein's success, the mood was clouded for Vincent Kriechmayr, who finished in sixth place. The Upper Austrian was in third position for a time, but had to fall back in line and said disappointedly: “I slowed down way too much.” Kriechmayr cannot be completely satisfied with this result, although the entire team showed good approaches. Marko Pfeifer, the ÖSV head coach, expressed relief at Feurstein's podium finish: "The spell has been broken." While Odermatt celebrated its first win of the season, the Austrian team's focus remains on the coming races.
