No "slalom king"
Manuel Feller warns: “You won’t find this anywhere else!”
170 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle, the men's slalom season in the alpine ski winter begins on Sunday. On the comparatively easy "Levi Black" slope - flat start, crisp steep slope, flat finish - there will be a no-holds-barred slalom. "The cut was always tight in the first run, you don't see that anywhere else," recalled Manuel Feller.
Last year, Feller led an ÖSV triple victory at the start in Gurgl, and after three further successes he was crowned with his first small crystal globe.
Water under the bridge for the 32-year-old. "You start from scratch again. I don't see myself as the slalom king. There are probably 20 racers who can finish on the podium," said Feller. "I was just the most consistent last year."
No pressure
In view of the density of the field, Feller said he "doesn't really feel any pressure". Of course, his goal remains to regularly get to the point on day X again. The self-confidence is there, he emphasized. "I haven't forgotten anything over the summer. You never know what the competition is doing, but I don't think I need to hide."
