Manuel Feller fights for gold in the ski World Cup slalom: high tension in Saalbach!

in Saalbach-Hinterglemm it is finally time: the big ski World Cup slalom is imminent! The Austrian national skiing team, led by Manuel Feller, counts on an exciting competition. The slalom starts at 9:45 a.m., and fans are excited to see what you can do from Tirol, who is fourth in the race. The Frenchman Clement Noel will be the first to finish, while the other ÖSV athletes, including Fabio Gstrein (start number 14), Dominik Raschner (19) and Marco Schwarz (21), have also set high goals, such as laola1.at reported.

Manuel Feller, who, looking back on his previous season, emphasizes that this race is nothing less than the ultimate triumph for him, has prepared intensively for this big moment. As a local hero, the slalom is all the more important in its homeland. "It would be the greatest disappointment of my life if it doesn't get anything here in slalom," he said before the competition. His trainer Martin Kroisleitner is optimistic: "In principle, I would have to say that he is even better than in the past season", like Kleinezeitung.at .

hopes and challenges

The tension is tangible because Feller has provided the additional evidence of its speed and stability in the team combination. "I get used to it. The other good runners are not necessarily in the same position," said Feller about his focus and the challenge of the competition. Kroisleitner describes Feller as an athlete who immerses himself in his own world five minutes before the start and concentrates fully on his key techniques.

"He enjoys that. He trained for that, he lives for that - to be at the start here," notes Kroisleitner. At the same time, the group remains optimistic that not only Feller, but also Fabio Grein and Marco Schwarz also have medal opportunities. Is not just a potential today, but can the entire team shine? It will be exciting to observe whether the ÖSV athletes will meet their expectations and stand on the podium!
