ÖSV team on the upswing: Prommegger chases the crystal ball in Winterberg!

in Winterberg, the Mecca for Snowboard enthusiasts, there were gripping competitions at the World Cup season. Despite the highly motivated athletes, the strong ÖSV team, which has already achieved 23 podium places this season, was not able to win a medal in the parallel giant slalom competitions, such as vienna.at reported. Andreas Prommegger, one of the favorites in this discipline, left in the round of 16 against the Korean Lee Sangho after driving past a goal in the decisive phase. "The run is very quick, basically it went well, the placement is not bad either. But with a World Cup, only the medals count," emphasized ProlfeGger. Other teammates like Benjamin Karl and Alexander Payer also eliminated early on, which dampened the hopes of the Austrian team on a medal.

For Andreas Prommegger, a crucial race in the slalom is facing a decisive race on Saturday at 2:20 p.m., which could decide on the outcome of his season. He is currently in fourth place and only 15 points behind the leading compatriot Arvid Auner, such as Sn.at . "I am one of the hunters, but I still have it in my own hands. This is a cool starting position," explained the 44-year-old. Eight other athletes also have the chance of the overall victory, while his team -mate Benjamin Karl waived a start.

The chance of the overall victory is given, but the ÖSV team had to accept some unfortunate defeats in the parallel competition. Claudia Riegler, who was missing in the competition, emphasized after her narrow departure: "They were four constant, quick, good runs, there were no mistakes." An exciting final is imminent, also as a dress rehearsal for the upcoming World Cup in St. Moritz. The fans are excited to see whether the ÖSV team can overcome the shock and will show up again at the end of the season.
