40 races without a win
Frustration in the men’s camp: “It’s not our goal!”
The wait goes on, Austria's men's skiers have now been waiting 40 races for a victory in a World Cup race. Meanwhile, sporting arch-rivals Switzerland have won 21 of these 40. "The gap to them has widened rather than narrowed, we have to be honest," says Alpine Director Herbert Mandl. Meanwhile, there is a question mark over world champion Raphael Haaser's journey to the World Cup final in the USA.

"It certainly wasn't what we had hoped for," grumbled Alpine Director Herbert Mandl. He watched from home as the number of men's races without an Austrian victory rose to 40 (!). This means that the negative record of 44 from 1987 could be equaled this season and this mark could fall at the World Cup final in Sun Valley, California. "Of course it's hard to keep getting the questions about it," admits Mandl. "But you can't force victories, they have to happen."
