Christina Ager after World Cup: Surprising comeback use in Saalbach!

Saalbach-Hinterglemm, Österreich - On February 7, 2025, an exciting turn in the Austrian Ski World Cup became known. After the unexpected defeat of Ricarda Haaser at the World Cup in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) called back 29-year-old Christina Ager at short notice. Even if Ager was not nominated for the World Cup in advance and only took 23rd place during departure training, she could take over Haasers place in the team combination for the coming week. "I am happy to be there, I am happy, I can absorb the atmosphere," said Ager, who can stand on the ski after moving hours at Arlberg after she had previously withdrawn from the disappointment to find new motivation, such as krone.at reported.

st. Anton in the focus of the Ski World Cup

In the meantime, the women of the Ski World Cup are back in St. Anton-for the first time in two years! On 11th and 12th January 2025, the prestigious Arlberg Kandahar races are on the program, which includes both departure and Super-G. While the athletes are feverishly working towards their big appearance in Tyrol, Federica Brignone caused a sensation by celebrating their first victory in the departure and thus getting their 30th World Cup victory. Malorie Blanc came in second place with only 0.07 seconds behind her, followed by the snowboard world champion Ester Ledecka in third place, such as skiEbiete-test.at reported.

The highlight is reinforced by the return of Lindsey Vonn, which ended up in a strong sixth place after a six -year break. Many eyes will be aimed at the next women's race on Tuesday, the night slalom in Flachau, while the tension in St. Anton continues. Ager now has a golden opportunity to prove itself at the World Cup and to increase blood pressure during the exciting competitions.
