Ski Alpin: Second World Cup victory: Ski ace Aicher cheered in La Thuile

Ski hope Emma Aicher celebrated her second World Cup victory at the Super-G in La Thuile. A good one and a half weeks after her premiere in Kvitfjell in Norwegian, the 21-year-old won Sofia Goggia and Federica Brignone in the Aostatal in front of the Italian local heroes. Aicher’s teammate Kira Weidle-Winkelmann left.

In the meantime, the race was interrupted for around 25 minutes due to a medical emergency. On TV pictures you could see how rescue workers provided a person on the edge of the route. Trainers and supervisors were in this area. Shortly afterwards, a rescue helicopter came. There were no more information at first.

Low start number as an advantage

Aicher had long been at the finish line. The all -rounder, who competes in both technical and fast disciplines, had already gone on the track with start number three. In view of the declining slope, this should have been an advantage for the emerging German.

She “just tried to accelerate,” said Aicher after her strong journey on ZDF. She had apparently surprised that she was so fast. The course that the German trainer Karlheinz Pichler had put on ultimately seemed a little easier for her than during the tour.

Another Super-G on Friday

Changing weather conditions had mixed up the racing program in La Thuile in the past few days. The planned departure was canceled. Another Super-G takes place on Friday.

Then Aicher can prove its strong shape again. At the latest with her convincing performance at the World Cup in Saalbach-Hinterglemm in February, she had come into focus. Now you can get two World Cup victories in different disciplines within a few weeks-first in the departure, then in the more curvier Super-G.
