Kitzbühel winner Ferstl: “...and you’re already stuck in shit”

“I can ski,” the 31-year-old said firmly on Thursday, “but it has to fit from top to bottom.” Because that wasn't the case last time, Ferstl is one of the outsiders this time - and because of his unfavorable starting number 1. This had He also had his greatest triumph on the infamous Streif twelve months ago, “but that was a perfect day, everything worked out for me,” he said.

That hasn't been the case so far this season, although Ferstl started better than ever "than ever" with decent places 14 and 24 in Lake Louise despite a broken hand. After that, he said in Kitzbühel, the crisis "crept in" due to poor results and a bit of bad luck - and you're already in the shit.

“If little things don’t fit, things won’t work.” Josef Ferstl Ferstl, added Alpine director Wolfgang Maier, struggled for a long time with his new service man to find a suitable equipment setup. But a solution has been found in this area, said head coach Christian Schwaiger. “I’m on the way to fighting my way back to the top, but you don’t have to expect miracles again,” said Ferstl, who described himself as a “very sensitive” racing driver: “If little things don’t fit, things won’t work.”

Of all places, Kitzbühel is supposed to bring about a turnaround for the son of two-time Streif winner Sepp Ferstl. “I have good memories, I can bring them back,” he said. Ferstl receives support on site from his wife Vroni and his two children. And he also has a tactic ready: “I just have to attack again, work my way into the turns, accelerate - especially down there. Then I feel safe.”
