The new challenge for the ÖSV women

Tomorrow the first team combination is on the program for the Austrian ski women, an innovative format that was presented for the first time at the 2023 Junior World Championships and met with a positive response. A team of two, consisting of a downhill skier and a slalom skier, will compete here.

The competition begins at 10:00 a.m. with the downhill, followed by the slalom at 1:15 p.m., with the times of both disciplines added together.

In addition, Cornelia Hütter with Katharina Huber, Super-G world champion Stephanie Venier with Katharina Troupe and Christina Ager with Katharina Gallhuber will be represented in the competition. A maximum of four teams per nation are allowed to compete, which makes the competition even more exciting. This premiere is eagerly awaited and could give Austria the next chance at medals.
