Manuel Feller: With beer to the Slalom World Cup victory – a turbulent year!

Manuel Feller, the secret star of the Slalom World Cup, was the first Tyrolean to win the crystal ball for slalom victory - and that in a historic season! With the cancellation of the slalom in Kranjska Gora, his victory is now certain, which Feller described as “curious” in an interview. It was a moment that made you want to celebrate: “Now I have to buy beer,” smiles the newly crowned World Cup winner and is already planning his celebrations.

As the Small newspaper reports, Feller is very happy about the win, even if the circumstances were somewhat unexpected. "I looked at my cell phone, then I drank two beers. I even had to drive to Billa because I didn't even have beer at home," says Feller about the tongue-in-cheek moment when he heard the news. The slalom rider has really won his way into the hearts of the fans this season and is grateful for the support.

The crown also recognizes Feller's achievements and highlights the exceptional level of his competition. The Norwegian Atle Lie McGrath, who finished just behind Feller, is impressed and sees his second-best performance as a great gift to celebrate the Tyrolean. Feller is enthusiastic about the exciting rivalry and the ability of his colleagues to continually challenge him. “The others are overtaking us, but we’re just giving way too much,” says Feller.
