Rank 5: Widmann impresses again

Above all, Veronika Widmann is characterized by consistency this downhill season - and at the same time she is getting closer and closer to the top 3.

After Widmann had already achieved fifth place in Fort William, Scotland, a week ago (SportNews reported) , she took 5th place again on Sunday. In doing so, she once again equaled her best World Cup result. About a year ago, Widmann made people sit up and take notice with his 5th place at the “Home World Cup” in Commezzadura on the Sulzberg (Val di Sole) in Trentino.

Crash in qualifying The World Cup weekend in Leogang didn't start at all to 26-year-old Widmann's liking. “Vroni” fell in qualifying. She still managed to qualify for the final races in 13th place.

Had a crash in qualies today but I'm still in for finals tomorrow with P13! All or nothing, let's do this! Thanks @...

In the final, Widmann brought a strong drive to the finish, and the clock ultimately stopped at 3.55,371:12,085 minutes. The winning favorite Tracay Hannah from Australia was 2,435 seconds away. Second and third places went to Nina Hoffmann from Germany (+9,360) and Kate Weatherly from New Zealand (+XNUMX).

Widmann is also in 5th place in the overall World Cup ranking. The Tramin native has big plans for this season and wants to make it into the top three in the medium term (the detailed sports news portrait of Veronika Widmann can be found here) . Von Klebelsberg narrowly missed the top 30 Johannes von Klebelsberg from Bolzano was also there in Leogang. He impressed in the top-class men's field in the qualification. As 16th out of 160 athletes, he confidently qualified for the final.

In the final, von Klebelsberg, who has been running a restaurant in Munich for several months, won (see own report) , 31st place, 8,035 seconds behind the victorious Loic Bruni. The Frenchman triumphed ahead of South African Greg Minnaar and Australian Troy Brosnan.
