Radstadt – During the past winter, ÖSV sporting director Toni Giger said things would get difficult. Then it happened. He compiled a new catalog of criteria, which included guidelines for potential top management. It was said: you have to be in the top 10, otherwise you can easily fly out of the red-white-red national team.
Now the Salzburg man balanced the scepter and announced the team for the next World Cup season. With Christian Hirschbühl, Roland Leitinger, Michael Matt, Matthias Mayer, Hannes Reichelt, Marco Schwarz and Vincent Kriechmayr, only seven men met the criteria.
Max Franz and Manuel Feller, who was disabled by a herniated disc, are no longer there. For women, 13 athletes are part of the Christian Mitter team. The weaker squad, however, includes Katharina Gallhuber, Mirjam Puchner, Eva-Maria Brem, and Tamara Tippler.
Manuel Feller can understand the resignation of the national team
Fieberbrunn: If you look at the ÖSV national team for the upcoming 2020/21 World Cup season in the Alps, you will quickly see that Tyrolean Manuel Feller and Carinthian Max Franz are two household names. Both were downgraded to the squad A. Feller had no problem with ÖSV sporting director Toni Giger’s decision, and even showed understanding for this decision. You have to be in the best discipline among the top ten in the world to have the right to exist in the national team.
Feller does not want his fans to be concerned. He struggled with the intervertebral discs last winter, was in poor health, and was therefore not always fit. Still, he doesn’t give up; even more: it is in his own hands to return to the national team. The Tyrolean also lost his sponsor. Feller views the donor as a privilege and never as a right. He also took the opportunity to thank Saalbach for three years with ups and downs.
