Peter Fill stops: “It’s not a dream concert”

“I can confirm that these will be my last two Kitzbühel starts as an athlete,” Fill said in a big interview with the Tagblatt Dolomites quoted. This also means that the Castelrotto native will end his career after this season. Injuries have repeatedly set the 37-year-old back over the last two years. This year he always started, but is no longer able to ski without pain. As a result, he was no longer able to maintain his previous level of performance. A 29th place is his best result so far.

“It’s not a dream concert,” said Fill in the Dolomiten interview, “I gave everything to come back strong again. It didn't work out, and of course I'm disappointed not to finish as I might have wanted. But when I look back on my entire career, I can be very proud.” One of the best South Tyrolean skiers of all time Fill can do that in the truest sense of the word: the speed specialist has competed in 352 World Cup races so far, won the downhill in Kitzbühel in 2016 and, to top it off, won three small crystal balls (two downhill, one combined), with the two from the Downhill World Cup particularly standing out . Fill also has 3 World Championship medals (silver in the Super-G, bronze in the Super-Combined). That's why today we can confidently say that Fill is one of the best skiers that South Tyrol has ever produced.
