A great experience
“I had a bad start to the day and not a good warm-up. The descent did not feel good. But apparently it wasn’t that bad. It’s a great result, ”Ledecka said, surprised by her own performance. Suter celebrated third place on the podium in the third sprint race. The Slovak Petra Vlhova, who finished sixth of the day, continues to lead the general of the World Cup.
The mood in the ÖSV camp was completely different, head hanging and perplexity. You have to go a long way back to find an equally sobering result in Super-G. On March 13, 1997, Alexandra Meissnitzer was 16 years old in Vail. The director of women’s races, Christian Mitter, did not want to judge whether Nicole Schmidhofer’s severe fall could have been part of the poor performance. “I am not a psychologist, in fact we worked on it and analyzed it.”
He missed the self-image of his riders in Super-G. “That is already disappointing today. We will make sure to place the correct levers in the direction of St. Anton. We have to see that the image of themselves returns, that they address the issue unconditionally and have the confidence to do so ”. In the two races it was at least five for Nina Ortlieb and seven for Tippler on Friday and six for Ramona Siebenhofer on Saturday. given the first three ten results.
Ortlieb initially didn’t have an explanation for Rank 20 and wanted to analyze it first. “I’ve already racked up a lot of arrears on top and didn’t really budge.” In the end, she took his hand because he had a pole, but the Vorarlberg resident gave the go-ahead. There were points for Ariane Rädler (24th), Stephanie Venier (25th) and Ricarda Haaser (26). Siebenhofer stayed out of the 30. “A good result in three races is too small and disappointing,” Siebenhofer said.
“I have already broken a lot of deficits at the top, I could not advance.”
