Superstitious? Well...our women skiers stick to the motto: "If it doesn't help, it doesn't hurt" - but the Appenzell belt does the trick for Conny H., our big trump card for the speed events at the home World Championships in Saalbach-Hinterglemm.

A belt! A kingdom for a belt! Otherwise this whole thing wouldn't end well. Conny's pants slipped and slipped. At the arch enemy of all places. No way!
