Moser, who showed an impressive achievement, qualified as the 23rd among the men, while his compatriots Michael Föttinger and Lukas Mrkonjic failed in qualification, as [laola1.at] reported.

Benjamin Moser, 27, has high goals. He has already reached the semi -finals twice this winter season and is optimistic: "I am very satisfied with my development. The big goal is the final," he explained. Despite his ambitions to get into the top 6, he admits that the jump to the podium has not been realistic so far.

The qualification in Trondheim is the first hurdle; Only the fastest 30 athletes come to the quarter-finals, where it continues in knockout mode. These exciting details were delivered by [krone.at].
