The slalom specialists in the Alpine Ski World Cup have had their first turn this Olympic winter. The last race for them this year is in today Madonna di Campiglio on the program. “I think we will present ourselves there quite differently,” said men’s racing director Andreas Puelacher in his outlook on the classic night slalom. In Val d’Isere, Fabio Gstrein was the 14th best ÖSV goal runner.
Manuel Feller is optimistic about the sequence of the great slalom classics that will be included Madonna start. “We did the quota threader in the year, so I don’t think about it anymore. I know that the form in the slalom is also very, very good. You saw that, even if the conditions in Val d’Isere are actually accurate those were what I didn’t like, “explained the 29-year-old. “I once hope that in Madonna a little more water is inside. Then we step on the gas. “According to Puelacher, the FIS responsible for technical events, Emmanuel Couder, had promised exactly that.
Marco Schwarz also spoke of a good slalom feeling. “A good step has been taken since Val d’Isere,” said the Carinthian, who had an ankle injury forced to watch for five weeks in November. “I think I can do more and want more. I just want to race freely, not have to think about the knuckle and drive what I can do at the moment.”
