After his second place in Alta Badia, Manuel Feller was also the SV best man in the illuminated slalom at Madonna die Campiglio on Tuesday night. The Tyrolean finished fourth just two hundredths of a second behind second. He was only briefly bothered by the “podium” that he narrowly missed. “I could have retired in the second round, it was close,” said Feller, who currently has his near-chronic back pain under control. “I can push and I don’t risk failing. That’s how skiing is fun.”
The victory at Madonna went to Henrik Kristoffersen ahead of his Norwegian compatriot Sebastian Foss-Solevaag.
After 20 races this season, the SV Alpines are still looking forward to their first World Cup victory. The next chance for success comes after the short Christmas break. Vincent Kriechmayr’s sprinters will travel to Bormio on Friday, where the first practice for Monday’s downhill will take place on Saturday. Also on Monday, the women will do a giant slalom in Semmering.
