Marco Schwarz: A victory with announcement

As a winner of the World Cup slalom on Sunday in Adelboden The Carinthian slipped into the red jersey of the discipline leader and ensured that it remained in his own camp after Manuel Feller was out. It was a long road for Schwarz to his first victory in a special slalom, said Austria's slalom coach Marko Pfeifer. “I hope that this moves something in him a little bit. Now the spell is broken, now he has victory. I think we can give him a little more freedom.” He learned a lot and became much more mature. “The victory is over. If you have that, you can also drive down more freely as the leader. He has the mental strength.” Black already knew the feeling of being the half-time leader, but he hadn't brought it down yet in the final. Now he was successful as fourth at halftime and a hunter. He has had two second and five third places as podium places in this discipline so far. He had won the city event in Oslo and the combination in Wengen in January 2019, before tearing the cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee in Bansko in February. “Winning the World Cup does something to your mind” Linus Strasser Linus Straßer proved what a victory can do when he came second in Adelboden after his slalom debut success in Zagreb. “Winning the World Cup does something to your mind. It's easier to live with a World Cup victory behind you. But no one needs to believe that he will be on the podium again in Wengen, Kitzbühel and Schladming. Four hundredths slower and I’m fourth behind Matt,” says the German. Everyone gives it their all, you can't afford to make any mistakes. “That makes it hard for us, but makes the sport incredibly exciting right now.” >>> This is what the South Tyrolean slalom runners say about the Adelboden race Black is currently shining with its consistency. Ranks three, nine, three and one make him the strongest driver in the slalom field on average. “We call him a finisher – endless consistency. This is also important with the classics. In certain passages he has extreme speed, all in all it’s a good package,” noted Pfeifer. “Blacky always reduces his performance, not extremely fast, not extremely slow, he is currently the most consistent in the slalom,” teammate Matt also knows. The next slalom awaits on Sunday Black can rely on his material and his skiing. “I feel comfortable on slalom skis. I can ski freely and quickly. You're always working to win races to maybe compete for the ball. The fact that it turned out so cool is, of course, great.” It wasn’t easy with the intensive program – four races within five days – but he “scrambled the last bits together again” and gave it his all again in the second round. The hot slalom January continues in Wengen on Sunday. Schwarz has 249 points in the slalom after four races, followed by Straßer (233), Feller (210), who has already been second twice and fourth once this winter, and Alta-Badia first Ramon Zenhäuser (SUI/169 ), Madonna triumphant Henrik Kristoffersen (NOR/166), Sebastian Foss-Solevaag (NOR/158) and Matt (AUT/131).
