Comeback of the year: Feurstein ready for the home World Cup in Saalbach!

The Ski World Championships in Saalbach throw their shadow ahead, and Lukas Feurstein, the aspiring ÖSV star, has a promising comeback plan according to his stress for stress. The 23-year-old suffered a mid-hand bone break during a training session in Saalbach in December last year and was successfully operated on in Innsbruck two weeks ago.

Feurstein's return to the World Cup is crucial because the home World Cup is getting closer. "The injury should definitely be completely healed by the World Cup super-G on February 7th. I am also very happy about that," he added. In order to be able to participate in the World Cup, however, he has to shine in the upcoming races, because with his performance as third at the Super-G from Beaver Creek, he has good cards for a World Cup ticket. The focus is clearly on the medal, even if Feurstein wants to minimize the pressure: "The daily constitution will certainly play a major role. It is a race, it is a passage, you have to visit really well."

The first appearances at the World Cup have already started. On February 6, the Vorarlberg athlete Ariane Rädler completed her first competition in the Super-G, but had to disappoint that she could not call up the desired services and had to be content with the 21st place. The next important appointments are just around the corner, and the World Cup in Adelboden will be a crucial test for Feurstein to ensure that it will be fit for the World Cup in Saalbach in time, where the big goal, a medal, is firmly anchored in the head of every athlete, according to the athlete.
