More jubilation in Zauchensee! One day after the sensational quadruple triumph in the European Cup downhill, the ÖSV ladies went one better on Thursday. Nadine Fest achieved home victory for the second time. Victoria Olivier and Carmen Spielberger completed the great success.

Zauchensee seems to be good ground for Austrian victories. On Wednesday, the ÖSV ladies were still celebrating a quadruple victory in the first of two downhill races at European Cup level. On Thursday, three red-white-red ladies were at the top again. Nadine Fest repeated her coup from Wednesday. The Carinthian from SC Gerlitzen, who is not currently a member of the ÖSV squad, beat Victoria Olivier (WSV AU Bregenzerwald/+0.18) and Carmen Spielberger (+0.31) from ASKÖ ESV St. Veit/Glan into second and third place in a time of 1:06.03 minutes. 

Also strong as a team
The Austrians also proved their team strength. With Leonie Zegg (SC Arlberg) in fifth place, Elisabeth Reisinger (SU Boehmerwald/7th), Emilia Herzgsell (USC Altenmarkt-Zauchensee/10th), Victoria Bürgler from SC Dienten in twelfth, Michelle Niederwieser (SV Buch/14th) and Anna Schilcher (SU Köflach/15th), a total of nine Austrian racers finished in the top 15.  

Olivier remains in the lead in the overall European Cup standings with the next top result and 449 points. Fest is the new runner-up with 400 points. Another super-G awaits tomorrow on the "Kälberloch" course.
