“It’s definitely a wonderful feeling with which I can now leave the home-home race,” says the St. Johanner. He hadn’t felt comfortable in the slalom so far, but this time he did a good job. “I swapped the board today, it was a quick action that was a bit of a desperation, but it helped,” revealed the multiple overall World Cup winner. And he didn’t spare his praise for his partner: “But even better was Sabine, who ripped me out.”

Claudia Riegler fell again

Now the entire ÖSV team goes straight on to the races in Bulgaria. A 16-hour bus ride awaits. “Despite the victory, we’re taking the sleeper bus and not the party bus. I’m older and have to manage my energy,” said the 43-year-old with a laugh.

Claudia Riegler had less to laugh about. The local hero had already “thrown away” a better placing in the singles in the round of 16 at the floodlit spectacle on Tuesday. Now she was on the way to the semi-finals in a duo with Arvid Auner – and slipped away again. “Now I can be sad and angry again, but then I look forward again. Things will continue straight away,” said the 50-year-old.
