Manuel Feller missed a podium spot in Madonna di Campiglio’s night slalom by the blink of an eye or the equivalent of a hundredth. It would have been the second in a row after the emotional second place the day before in Alta Badia.
“Hundredths are a bit misleading,” admits Feller in an interview with ORF, “I’ve had fourth place before.” You don’t have to look far to find the hundredth: “In the end I left it myself. I got tangled up at the beginning and then again in the middle. Overall it was a good race.”
Therefore, the Tyrolean is not overly sorry for the narrowly missed podium place. “I’m very happy to accept it. Fourth place, if someone had told me that three days ago, I would have gratefully accepted.”
Like the day before, Feller faces the difficult last few months in which he repeatedly suffered from back problems. All the greater was the relief and satisfaction after finishing second at Alta Badia, where even tears rolled down after the race in the interview.
Feller: “I’m ashamed of that.”
“It was very moving, I also got the news that people were crying with me in front of the TV. I’m still ashamed of that,” says Feller.
However, the 28-year-old can now “calmly enter the Christmas break and carry the flow with him”, after all he enters the new year in second place in the slalom standings. After two races, he is only ten points behind leader Henrik Kristoffersen.

Marco Schwarz is not so satisfied. The carinthian that He had improved from tenth to third place in Alta Badia, this time he has to settle for ninth place, but he got a good finish again.
“Of course it’s a bit annoying But I can’t be dissatisfied with a ninth place, I’ll be happy to take it with me, these are important points, “said third place Aare in 2019.
In the end, just 0.24 seconds left from a podium. “It was a tight box, two tenths faster and I’m back on the podium, “says Schwarz.” But there is no such thing as Hätti-ti-wari, it is not a request, just go faster! “
