At a loss after the Super-G debacle
Rough clap for Weidle at the home game
Super-G instead of downhill: It's not a good decision for Kira Weidle. And so the much stronger skier from Starnberg experienced a bitter disappointment at the home World Cup in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Weidle despaired of her mistakes again.
Ski racer Kira Weidle experienced a bitter disappointment at the home World Cup in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. At the last World Cup weekend before the World Championships in Cortina d'Ampezzo from February 8 to 21, the 24-year-old from Starnberg did not get past 23rd in the first Super-G on Saturday. Like last weekend in Crans-Montana, Swiss rider Lara Gut-Behrami won the race.
Weidle's gap was 2.15 seconds. "That is absolutely not what I had in mind. I am also slowly wishing that there will be a step forward," said Weidle: "I don't know why the mistakes happen. We are eagerly looking for a solution. "
ARD expert Felix Neureuther had also expected significantly more, "the final consequence was missing, and it had small uncertainties inside," he said. Perhaps "a schnapps at the start will help," added Weidle. Even in the Super-G of Crans-Montana, Germany's best female shooter had clearly missed a top position with rank 26.
A downhill run was originally planned in Garmisch, but due to the constant rain and the associated poor condition of the track, no training necessary for a race could be carried out on Friday. A second Super-G is scheduled for Sunday (11 a.m.).
