Reinswald: The festival games continue – Pichler in the top 10

Fest's teammates Julia Scheib and Rosina Schneeberger completed the podium in the Super-G in the first of three decisions in Reinswald and ensured an Austrian triple success at the start. A total of 111 racers took part.

Fest started the race with start number six when four racers ahead of her had already been eliminated. But the 21-year-old from Carinthia, who is confidently ahead in the European Cup standings, didn't let that bother her and set a best time of 1.15,55:XNUMX minutes on the Schöneben piste, which had the competition in spades . “I was very nervous at the start. After the good results of the last few weeks, I put a little pressure on myself. I'm overjoyed, even though I had to wait until the end. Because I knew that there would be some top athletes with the really high starting numbers,” said Fest at the finish.

For example, things got exciting from start number 31 onwards. First, the reigning junior world champion in giant slalom and two-time World Cup winner, Alice Robinson from New Zealand, achieved the seventh fastest time, before Styrian Julia Scheib moved up to second place with start number 33. Scheib, who is Robinson's predecessor as junior world champion in giant slalom, only lost a tenth of a second to the day's winner Nadine Fest. Pichler in the top 10 The Italian team's best racer also underlined her current good form. Giulia Albano from Aostan took eighth place in the final ranking, immediately ahead of the best South Tyrolean Karoline Pichler (Petersberg), who made it into the top 44 with the high start number 10. There were also European Cup points for 20-year-old Teresa Runggaldier (Wolkenstein) from Val Gardena, who finished 26th. How well the Super-G slope held up in the Sarnen ski area is also demonstrated by the fact that a total of three female racers with a start number over 100 finished in the points.

There are two more decisions to be made in Sarntal this week. Another Super-G is planned for Thursday, starting at 10 a.m. The traditional ski event concludes on Friday with an Alpine combination, which consists of a super-G and a slalom.
