“If it works, then it works!” A proverb that also applies to giant slalom specialist Elisabeth Kappaurer! After finishing 14th at the World Cup RTL in Sestriere, the Bezauer carved onto the podium in the European Cup on Tuesday. A 17-year-old from Vorarlberg was also allowed to celebrate at FIS level for the first time!
Lukas Feurstein would have a fixed starting place for the World Cup Super-G on Friday in Val Gardena – but the 21-year-old does not take it up. His focus is on Alta Badia (It), where he will make his debut on the “Gran Risa” on Sunday and Monday. The failure of EC-RTL in Zinal (Sz) does not change that. “Despite two inside ski mistakes, I continued skiing,” says the head pilot. “But then I overdid it from the line and I’m out.” The best Vorarlberger yesterday was his club colleague Noel Zwischenbrugger from Mellau. The 21-year-old finished 2.26 seconds behind the winner Livio Simonet (Sz) in 23rd place. Only local hero ahead of Kappaurer Lisi Kappaurer is still in top form. After 14th place at the World Cup RTL in Sestriere (It), the 28-year-old carved into second place at the European Cup “giants” of Ponte di Legno (It) – Lisi’s second EC podium this season, the sixth of her career. The Bezauerin was only 0.21 seconds behind the Italian winner Asja Zenere. Premiere for Ländle “Young Guns” Christoph Walser got his first victory at FIS level. The 17-year-old from SV Tosters won an NJR giant slalom in Hochfügen. The “Ländle Festival” was completed by 16-year-old Leo Heim from Kleinwalsertal, who was able to improve his running best time by 13 positions in third place.
