The 23-year-old from Vorarlberg only had to admit defeat in Beaver Creek, 47/100 behind, to the two speed stars Marco Odermatt from Switzerland and his French rival Cyprien Sarrazin (+0.18 seconds). It was a premiere for Feurstein and the Austrian ski men in the fifth race of this World Cup winter.
With number 24, Feurstein completed a podium among giant slalom experts. At the same time, he displaced Vincent Kriechmayr (+0.81), who later fell back to sixth place. Daniel Danklmaier and the young Stefan Eichberger were also in the top 15 after 50 drivers. Daniel Hemetsberger lost a top position with a mistake entering the final section. Raphael Haaser and Stefan Babinsky were eliminated.
