“My feet are shaking, I can barely stand”
She can hardly stand, snorted Katharina Truppe. "My feet are shaking so incredibly," she explained in the ORF interview minutes after her very first World Cup victory had been confirmed.
Shortly beforehand, she had triumphed in the slalom in Are and completed the double victory for Austria together with her colleague Katharina Liensberger. "I don't even know how to categorize it," she searched for the words: "I'm just happy."
Trembling
Truppe had put in an outstanding second run. In the end, only all-time great Mikaela Shiffrin had it in her hands to "steal" her first victory. "When Mika skied down, there was a brief glimmer of hope that it might work out. Beating her is the goal of every skier." The hope became reality, the goal was achieved "It's amazing that it's me," said Truppe, who confirmed: "It was so nerve-wracking."
Truppe celebrated her first World Cup victory at the age of 29. And Shiffrin will also be able to live with the result. Third place meant the 156th podium of her career. This means she has one more than a certain Ingemar Stenmark. The next record. Kathi Truppe won't care today.
