Now he has his Kitzbühel victory! Manuel Feller's sensational triumph in the slalom has given the entire red-white-red ski team a reason to breathe a sigh of relief. "It's difficult to put into words. I've often dreamed of this," beamed the 33-year-old in the finish area.

Reconciliation with the mountain
With a daring run, the ÖSV skier catapulted himself from fourth place to first in the final. "I didn't want to take any unnecessary risks, which is always a good tactic on this slope," Feller explained.

Thus, the love-hate relationship with the Ganslern slope has turned into a love story after all. "It couldn't be any better. If it had worked right away, it wouldn't mean as much!"
