Manuel Feller: Passion for ski jumping sparks winter sports fever!

In an exciting moment of winter sports, Manuel Feller, the Austrian ski racer, came out as a big fan of ski jumping. On the occasion of the men's World Cup slalom in Madonna di Campiglio, the 32-year-old Tyrolean shared his enthusiasm for the four-hill tour. "Since I've been a little Bua, I've been looking at the four-hill tour. It is a highlight for me when it comes to winter sports," said Feller, praising the impressive achievements of the ski jumper, who achieved eleven out of twelve possible podium in the current season. "They triggered a real ski jumping fever," he noted proudly, but emphasized that the success in ski jumping was difficult to achieve, even though they would do their best, like OE24 reported .

Meanwhile, Feller won the World Cup slalom title on Wednesday and thus won his first crystal globe. This happened when the race planned for Saturday in Kranjska Gora was canceled due to heavy rains. Feller led the slalom rating with an unobstructible lead of 169 points compared to the German Linus Strasser and thus secured the title in the event of only one remaining race. With four wins from nine slaloms this season, he achieved the greatest success of his career after winning the silver medal at the World Championships in St. Moritz in 2017. This is the eighth time in the last twelve seasons that an Austrian ski racer gains the slalom-crystal globus, such as AP news emphasized .
