Hard work pays off! A motto that has finally come true for 20-year-old Amanda Salzgeber from Vorarlberg. After a difficult pre-season and a rather mixed season opener, the 2020 youth Olympic champion was able to celebrate her first two victories of the season in St. Lambrecht.
After the head pilot was able to secure her first European Cup point of the season as 30th at the Super-G in Zinal, the Bartholomäbergerin proved at two FIS Super-Gs in St. Lambrecht in Styria that she is getting better and better on the long bars In the first race, Salzgeber prevailed 0.35 seconds ahead of her compatriot Magdalena Kappaurer in Vorarlberg. In March of this year, the 21-year-old Bezau won the silver medal behind Lena Wechner from Tyrol at the Junior World Championships in Bansko, Bulgaria, in the Super-G. Third place went to Styrian Florentina Schnittler (+0.69). Salzgeber, who won combined gold at the Youth Olympic Games in Switzerland in January 2020, was also unstoppable in the second race and won with a lead of twelve hundredths Carmen Spielberger from Carinthia. Third place went to another woman from Vorarlberg, Lea Lipburger from Schoppernau (+0.22). On Thursday there is still a giant slalom waiting for the runners in St. Lambrecht.
