The last women's speed races before the Alpine World Ski Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm are coming up next weekend in Garmisch. ORF expert Alexandra Meissnitzer spoke to the "Krone" about what she thinks is needed to qualify for the major event.

Who will make the race for the World Championship tickets in the domestic women's speed team? The coming weekend in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, where a downhill race is scheduled for Saturday and a super-G on Sunday, will provide the answer. Only Conny Hütter is seeded in both disciplines. "She is certainly our hottest ticket, a great hope for a World Championship medal," says Alexandra Meissnitzer about the two-time winner of the season, who she describes as an "absolute racehorse".
