World Championship gold for Venier
Tears of joy for Roland Assinger and Stadlober
Even ÖSV President Roswitha Stadlober and women's head coach Roland Assinger didn't have a dry eye. In an interview with ORF, the two confessed to fighting back a tear or two after Stephanie Venier's gold medal.
"I have goose bumps, I had tears in my eyes. It's an incredible day for Austria," said Stadlober. The only downer: Ricarda Haaser's knee injury. "Luck and bad luck are so close together."
"Dangerous outsider"
Nevertheless, today is a happy day, as Stadlober notes: "We are a dangerous underdog. The team is in a good position and we can only win. That was a shout in the air to say: We can do it. Everyone believes in what they can do. We have good basic speed, we are proving that we are fast."
Race Director Assinger was visibly struggling with his emotions. "I'm built very close to the water," the 51-year-old let his feelings run free in a shaky voice. "This is very important for the whole team. In the end, only gold, silver and bronze count - we have gold."
