Lena Dürr on the podium: strong start of the season in Levi in Finnish
The Bavarian ski racer Lena Dürr celebrated a strong introduction to the new slalom season. The talented athlete achieved third place in the World Cup goal in Levi, Finnish, only behind the American top athlete Mikaela Shiffrin and the Austrian Katharina Liensberger. Dürr only had to give up four hundredths of a second.
"The beginning is made," said the 29-year-old Dürr relieved on Bavarian radio after her first appearance in the season, which is a matter close to her heart. "I am happy that I could land on the podium. There is still room for improvement, and that's good to know."
Emma Aicher succeeds in a considerable appearance
The young Emma Aicher, who fought for ninth place, also made a sensation in the German team. The 21-year-old improved by 13 places with an outstanding performance in the second round, which was also considered to be the best time. "It was really fun! It just felt good. I'm very satisfied," said Aicher after the race.Dürr shows an impressive consistency in Levi. In the past three years, she has always cut off among the top four participants in a total of six races. In this competition, she has almost developed a podium subscription in this competition. In 2021 she won the third place twice and fourth in the following year. Last season she cut off even better and took second and three places.
The Sunday (10 a.m./1 p.m., BR and Eurosport) is now a feast for the fans, because the men are on it. Linus Straßer, a German co -favorite, hopeful on the way to victory, could possibly reach his first podium in Levi.
Mikaela Shiffrin, who comes closer to her magical number of 100 wins with her 98th World Cup victory, was once again a class of its own. The multi -award -winning world champion has now recorded a total of eight victories in Levi. Traditionally, the slalom winners also receive sponsorships for reindeer, so that Shiffrin's herd continues to grow, which gives their impressive career another funny touch.
