ÖSV has to master departure in Beaver Creek with only six starters!

in Beaver Creek, Colorado, exciting competitions in the alpine ski world are on the program. The departure begins on Friday, followed by a Super-G on Saturday and a giant slalom on Sunday. Only six Austrian skiers are represented among the domestic athletes who venture into the race track-a significantly reduced contingent, since the Austrian Ski Association (ÖSV) would have actually nominated eight starters. This reports Today.at .

The athletes Stefan Brennsteiner, Lukas Feurstein, Patrick Feurstein and Raphael Haaser will start for the first round on Sunday at 6 p.m. The speed specialists Vincent Kriechmayr and Stefan Babinsky are also there.

Feller has to fight with health problems, which influenced his decision to do without the trip.
