Despite injury
ÖSV athlete ready: “A little bit of gritting of the teeth”
Ski racer Lukas Feurstein is still suffering from a bruised ski boot three days after his retirement from the super-G in Kitzbühel, but wants to compete in the giant slalom in Schladming on Tuesday (17:45 and 20:45).
"It hasn't been that long, so the pain is definitely still there, and I can feel it when I'm skiing," said the man from Bregenzerwald. "But with certain aids and a bit of gritting my teeth", two runs should be doable.
He is "confident that it will get a little better by tomorrow", emphasized Feurstein. He won't be 100 percent fit "in any case", "but that's just part of it now". It was only in December that the 23-year-old suffered a metacarpal fracture, which was subsequently treated surgically, but did not limit him much in the races afterwards.
