Austria's Para-Ski hero: two medals, a big setback!
A great conclusion for the Austrian Para-Ski racers: Veronika and Elisabeth Aigner won the gold medal at the end of the World Cup in slalom. "It's cool that we have still reached a golden one today. It's a good feeling to go home with two medals," cheered Veronika. Her sister Elisabeth added that it was also a shame that it didn't go better for her teammates Elina Stary and Vanessa Arnold. After their lead, Stary and Arnold were extremely motivated in the first run, but suffered a misfortune in the second round and remained without further medal. "Unfortunately I missed a goal on the long train and then of course it is over," said Stary, who was still happy about the bronze medal in the giant slalom. "This is at least a small consolation," she added. This was also confirmed by the .
The head coach of the Austrian Ski Union, Manfred Widauer, celebrated the performance of the Aigner sisters and estimated the positive overall impression in the women's area. "It was again a great performance by Veronika and Elisabeth Aigner, but also from Elina Stary and Vanessa Arnold. In slalom, a failure can happen and it is of course sad for the two, especially after the half -time lead. But the two are a future share and from such defeats you can also learn and take a lot with you," said Widauer. Despite the disappointment of the men's team, which had hoped for more medals, he was confident overall for the upcoming competitions. "The overall result among women at this World Cup is very positive," continued Widauer. These perspectives were also taken up by Skiausttria , which illuminated the success and challenges of the athletes in detail.
