In Blumau (Lower Austria), local slalom aces took part in training with the special unit. Blood, sweat and tears were the result. The "Krone" was up close and personal. A special kind of fight for survival.

The wind whistles, civilization seems miles away. There is a hint of wilderness in the air - and plenty of mosquitoes. Then suddenly a command breaks the silence: "Gemma, let's go!" From now on, it's time to pay attention and stay together. Because now we're going behind enemy lines.
