After baby break
“Mama” Tippler is also back in the racing action
Not only Lindsey Vonn - Tamara Tippler also celebrated a remarkable comeback on Saturday. After a one-and-a-half-year baby break, the Styrian also returned to the big ski stage.
Like Vonn, Tippler also completed the lower-class FIS downhill on Saturday. And was faster than her colleague Vonn. She finished in 20th place - 1.20 seconds behind winner Mirjam Puchner.
In the second race, which also took place on Saturday, Tippler finished 25th and Vonn 27th.
"Heart was pounding"
"My heart was pounding a bit again," said Tippler after the race: "I haven't raced for a while now. But it was a step in the right direction. I still need a few more kilometers to gain confidence. Then there's the change of material. I'll just keep at it now to get faster."
After all: "Three days ago I was still four seconds behind. Now it's only 1.20. I hope that I can go into the race in Beaver Creek with confidence."
