There is no herbal force from this world against skiers from Switzerland. This also had to find out one of the best of the season so far: Lena Dürr from SV Germering had tried to strengthen the immune system with homemade ginger shots, this herbaceous root, which grows underground – but which did not release those unearthly forces on Saturday would have needed for higher consecration.
With a view to the first German medal at the Alpine World Ski Championships in Saalbach, the air is slowly but surely thin, so as not to say. Unsurprisingly, they had identified the slalom of women at the German Ski Association (DSV) as one of the most promising opportunities for a Stockerlplatz. Emma Aicher, placed three times in the World Cup slaloms this winter this winter, in the World Cup departure recently as sixth, and teammate Jessica Hilzinger missed the qualification for round two on Saturday.
:Not for the faint of heart
Linus Straßer recently made headlines with allegations against his own trainer. The dispute is cleared, Germany’s best slalom driver feels good – and has a special order: it should save the DSV from the World Cup fiasco.
The DSV athletes partially delivered good results in Saalbach – and yet missed their big goal
Dürr took eighth place in the finish lump, what was left with her. Despite ginger shots, she was in terms of health, but that shouldn’t be an excuse: “I didn’t get along like this today,” she said after the race. “I tried to get everything out, but if you don’t hit two very good runs, the level is currently too high to be able to play there.” In the first run alone, the 33-year-old was around a second in third and almost two Seconded in the half -time -leading rest; In the second run, the strength was only enough to defend eighth place.
The last three medals of this ski World Cup will be awarded on Sunday at the men’s slalom. Linus Straßer is starting for the DSV and can prevent the German selection from staying without a podium for the first time since Are 2007. DSV alpine director Wolfgang Maier already drawn a first conclusion before the final on Sunday, quite relentlessly, as you know it. “Our objective we had that we were driving around the medals here, we missed them,” he said. “But the fact is that we have already delivered very good results,” said the alpine boss. “Especially with the Emma.”
And so there is a stealthy view of the Swiss house, where you can no longer keep up with medal counting. At the beginning of the World Cup, Marco Odermatt said that young talent in Switzerland was the main reason that the Swiss skiing of nations like Germany on top and width was so extensive. You have to say that the Swiss also have significantly more snow, mountains and alpine structures grown at all, which should help to motivate young people to ski. And so you have to acknowledge in the DSV camp with envy – or envious -: At this World Cup, the Swiss herbal mixture has also disenchanted all ginger shots.
