ÖSV women fight for every meter during the giant slalom at Semmering!

The ÖSV women have made a difficult start in the current giant slalom at Semmering. The best performance of the Austrian drivers came from Ricarda Haaser, who took twelfth place with a gap of 1.68 seconds, such as Kleine Newspaper reported. Julia Scheib, who fights for health problems in the season, followed closely behind in 13th place with 1.70 seconds behind. According to Scheib, her clear goal for the second run is to achieve the best time, which the 26-year-old gives special motivation after her podium at the start of the season in Sölden.

At the top of the field, a duel between the strong competitors Federica Brignone, Lara Gut-Behrami and Sara Hector emerged. After the first round, Brignone is 15 hundredths in front of Gut-Behrami and 24 hundredths in front of Hector, each of whom celebrated important successes in the season. While the best places for the ÖSV women seem out of reach, Katharina Liensberger diverted the competition due to a missed second round and Stephanie Brunner, who fell back in the last section. The second round of the race is scheduled for 1:00 p.m., as Salzburg24 reports.

The absence of star drivers such as Mikaela Shiffrin and Petra Vlhova also made it difficult to catch up for the Austrian skiers. For them, it is only to be hoped that they can escape their persecution in the second round and still play in front. The competition at Semmering remains tangled and relentless - the pressure on the athletes is increasing!
