The Salzburg native raced to a sensational silver medal in front of her home crowd on Saturday. "It's mega that it worked out like that," beamed Puchner, who has already experienced many highs and lows in her career.
"I wanted more!"
"Simply awesome," cheered Puchner at the finish. Especially because the season hadn't started as planned. "I didn't know why it wasn't going well." There was a sense of helplessness. She only secured her ticket for the World Championship downhill in Saalbach in an internal ÖSV qualifier. "I didn't just want to survive the qualifiers, I wanted more!"
Second precious metal for Puchner
It was the second medal for her after Olympic silver in the super-G in Beijing 2022. Austria now has one gold and two silver medals in Saalbach.
