Silver ride at the World Ski Championships
Kriechmayr: “… then it would only be worth half”
Vincent Kriechmayr raced to the silver medal in the World Championship downhill in Saalbach with a powerful run. The thousands of Austrian fans in the finish area provided an extra portion of good humor.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen "It was a good run, a few little things, but Von Allmen didn't ski 100 percent perfectly either. I wasn't quite able to achieve what I set out to do, but basically it was a very good run," said the Upper Austrian in the ORF interview.
"Making the moment incredible"
In addition to the run, the 33-year-old also had a big smile on his face at home. "Skiing is incredibly beautiful, but without fans it would only be worth half as much. They really make this moment incredible," said Kriechmayr. The medal comes for the speed specialist after an injury in Wengen, and the fact that he was fit in time is also thanks to his team. "I wanted to train again straight after the injury. Many people said: 'Give it a rest'. But I can't do that, I have very little patience. In Garmisch I saw that I had to put my hat on and actually give it a rest."
Kriechmayr plays an important role within the squad, with Daniel Hemetsberger recently describing him as a "role model". When confronted with this, the veteran joked: "That always flatters me, but he's completely different at the back." In any case, the team spirit is great and Kriechmayr is optimistic about the future. "I'm confident that the boys will show up, I see a lot of potential."
