Katharina Gallhuber strives for the first podium success in skiing

f for the alpine athlete Katharina Gallhuber and her colleague Katharina Huber, the slalom start in Levi was anything but hoped. Despite great ambitions, Gallhuber had to be satisfied with the 25th place, which visibly frustrated it. The 27-year-old athlete from Göstling had made up for the new Ski World Cup season much more, especially after she was listening with a strong fourth place last season.

The start of the new season, which took place last Saturday, was to be a milestone for Gallhuber, but instead it was not a good star. The disappointment about the result was clearly noticeable, but the fighter remains optimistic. "I finally want to make the jump to the podium," she explained her goal for the current season. This ambition will surely drive you, despite the rather maladministrative start.

totally dissatisfied with the first race

The performance of Gallhuber in the first slalom race was not what she had wanted. Under the conditions and the expectations that she put on herself, the 25th rank was far from her goals. The challenge in the highly competitive world of ski alpine is enormous and accessible like a podium in this demanding sport is not an easy undertaking.

Gallhuber has worked hard in the past seasons and continuously improved. Your best result last season suggests that you are able to implement your ambitions with the appropriate training and the right focus, and possibly to advance to the upper places. But the pressure associated with the start must not be underestimated and plays an important role in the preparation of the athletes.

For the skiers, it is only to be hoped that she can learn from this sobering experience and can be strengthened from the next race. She will definitely do everything possible to call up their full potential in the upcoming competitions and achieve their goals. As Gallhuber himself emphasizes, there is still plenty of space for improvement. So this season will be a challenge as a chance.
