Hämmerle returns in China, Millauer drops out
Alessandro Hämmerle returns to the World Cup in the snowboard cross competitions in Beidahu, China. The Olympic champion had missed the opener in Cervinia (Italy) in December due to back problems. The Vorarlberg native underwent physiotherapy and also made changes to his skiing technique. The ÖSV squad completed their final preparation in Zhangjiakou at the 2022 Olympic venue.
In Beidahu, the Austrians were greeted by icy cold. "At minus 17 degrees and 90 percent humidity, it was brutally cold. To better protect my face, I will be wearing a mask from now on," said Hämmerle after the first tests on the course. The races are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.
Clemens Millauer, on the other hand, will have to miss the snowboard freestyle World Cup in Aspen (USA). The Upper Austrian suffered an injury to his left knee during training in Colorado and therefore made the journey home to Austria to undergo a thorough examination at the private clinic in Hochrum. Anna Gasser will be competing in slopestyle and big air in Aspen.
