ÖSV men: Is the historical lack of winning in the departure?
Austria's men's descenders stand in front of a historical doldrum in the Alpinski World Cup! The ÖSV athletes have remained without a win for 38 races - a mourning balance that does not have to shy away from a comparison. The last hope was Vincent Kriechmayr's silver medal at the home World Cup in Saalbach, but even in Kvitfjell the Austrians disappointed: the best place was a ninth place for both Kriechmayr and Stefan Babinsky. Should no rethink take place in Sun Valley, where the next races take place for about a week and a half, this could mean the first season without podium splashing in the departure. As the reported, Kriechmayr is not so frustrated, but I give me mine Best. “
a possible new beginning
Marko Pfeifer, the head coach, sees the urgency of a change: "In the speed area we have to retrofit and patience to get back to the top." The hope lies on talents such as Stefan Eichberger, who shows potential in his first full season. But the other athletes also have to increase because the competition is strong. For the future, fundamental changes in the speed trainer team are planned, and Pfeifer confirms: "Intensive discussions are already running to fill a new coaching position until Sun Valley." The focus is on bringing the drivers into shape and putting new impulses.
Before the upcoming competition in Beaver Creek, the athletes are optimistic, despite the previous setbacks. The reports from Laola1 , despite the challenges, are confident and are well prepared. The preparation conditions were optimal, even if new snow made the training process difficult. "The mood is excellent, everyone is healthy and ready," emphasizes Pfeifer. The first departure training will take place on the "Birds of Prey" on Tuesday, and the downhillers are determined to end their negative series.
