On Friday, Vorarlberg ski cross racer Nicolas Lussnig raced to 14th place in Gudauri, Georgia - his best World Cup result to date. In the second race on Saturday, he made it into the top 16 again, making him the best Austrian. Thanks to his latest results, the 23-year-old can now even dream of a ticket for the World Championships in St. Moritz at the end of March.

"That really was a completely crazy day for me," gasped Nicolas Lussnig after finishing 16th at the Ski Cross World Cup in Gudauri, Georgia, on Saturday. A day that had started with a hoppala in the morning's final training.
