Despite stick hoppala
ÖSV lady scores points after a four-year “dry spell”
The big red-white-red hype on the Beaver Creek weekend revolved around the two podium racers Ariane Rädler and Conny Hütter. Both played their part in a young ÖSV athlete finally scoring points again after a break of over four years, for the very first time in a speed discipline. And this despite the fact that she had a mishap shortly before the start.
At 1.35 pm yesterday - half an hour earlier than planned - Ariane Rädler was not the only one with a satisfied smile when she got off the United Airlines Boeing 787-9 at Munich Airport that had brought Austria's ski girls back safely from Denver. Her 23-year-old Vorarlberg compatriot Magdalena Egger was also happy after finishing 23rd in the super-G to score her first ever World Cup points in a speed race - her first since November 21, 2020, when she finished 19th in the slalom in Levi.
"A really cool day," beamed the racer from Lech, who lost 1.96 seconds to winner Sofia Goggia (Italy) and finished as the sixth-best Austrian. "I heard at the start that Ari was third. That gave me even more motivation."
The Head pilot experienced a scary moment before the race. "I dropped a ski pole off the lift on the way to the start," says "Mäggy", "I would never have had time to get it. However, I was lucky that someone at the finish brought me Conny Hütter's poles, which I then skied with."
