After 392 days back on the winning road: “Apparently we don’t have that little on it”

Better late than never! Austria’s long distances this winter, which was badly shaken by men, found the way back to the winning road at the World Cup final in Sun Valley.

With his triumph in the Super-G in front of giant slalom world champion Raphael Haaser, Lukas Feurstein ended a long dry spell of 40 races without full success. Previously, the Tyrolean Manuel Feller had won the slalom of Palisades Tahoe on February 25, 2024.

That was 392 long days ago. It took the third last season race to avert a “Salto Nullo” like last in 1987/88 when not a single victory.

“We were overdue”

“The journey actually didn’t feel good at all, it was everywhere at the limit. But apparently I was very quick,” said the 23-year-old Vorarlberg Feurstein in the ORF interview after his premiere at the top World Cup Stockerl. The appearance of Haaser, who had to endure a three -hour tooth surgery after his wild departure in Hafjell after his wild departure in Hafjell, was also remarkable.
