World Cup slalom in Levi: Neureuther makes a comeback

Planegg (SID) Ski racer Felix Neureuther returns to the World Cup a year after his last race. The 34-year-old from Partenkirchen will compete in the slalom on Sunday (10.15:13.15 a.m./2017:XNUMX p.m. CET) in Levi, Finland, more than eleven months after his cruciate ligament tear. Neureuther won there for the first time in XNUMX before he had to end the Olympic season prematurely. “I’m really looking forward to my comeback here in Levi and that I can finally race again,” said Neureuther. Given the long break, the starting position is "different than a year ago. My goal, beyond all placements, is to get back into the competitive rhythm as quickly as possible." He added that he was “excited to see to what extent I will succeed.” In addition to Neureuther, Fritz Dopfer (Garmisch) and Stefan Luitz (Bolsterlang) are also returning after injury breaks. “We shouldn’t expect too much from these athletes in particular in the first race,” said head coach Mathias Berthold. - The German Ski Association's squad for the World Cup in Levi: Women (Saturday, 10.15:13.15 a.m./XNUMX:XNUMX p.m. CET): Lena Dürr (Germering), Christina Geiger (Oberstdorf), Jessica Hilzinger (Oberstdorf), Marlene Schmotz (Leitzachtal), Marina Wallner (Inzell) Men: Fritz Dopfer (Garmisch), Sebastian Holzmann (Oberstdorf), David Ketterer (Schwenningen), Stefan Luitz (Bolsterlang), Felix Neureuther (Partenkirchen), Dominik Stehle (Obermaiselstein), Linus Straßer (Munich), Anton Tremmel (Rottach-Egern )
