Lena Dürr booked her ticket for the World Cup in Zagreb

Zagreb – Eighth place at the Slalom Ski World Cup in Zagreb ensured that DSV athlete Lena Dürr was able to book her ticket to the Ski World Cup at Cortina d’Ampezzo. So you can start the next races without any pressure. But what about the other German ski racers?

When the Ski World Cup kicked off in an uncertain 2020/21 winter in mid-October 2020, no one had a clue what the first season would be like after the surprising resignation of Viktoria Rebensburg. But Lena Dürr never gave up and always believed in herself. Patrizia Dorsch, who finished fifth in a combination in February 2019, did not meet her expectations. Andrea Filser, Marina Wallner and Michaela Wenig have experience, but they still have to improve a bit.

Filser, who debuted at the 2012 World Cup, is already 27 years old. Three years ago he won the German championship in a goal race. His colleague Michaela Wenig is nine months older. You want to speed up in speed races. Marina Wallner also wants to build on old successes soon. The athlete, born in 1994, has already achieved five top 10 results.

Athletes Martina Ostler, Martina Willibald and Katrin Hirtl-Stanggaßinger are young and dynamic. The trio still have their entire career ahead of them. A sense of accomplishment here and there could positively accelerate the development process. But it would also be a mistake to demand the best results overnight. You have to work continuously and never lose sight of individually set goals. Even if the big hits of the past few years have yet to materialize, you can definitely feel the new momentum at DSV.
