Schieder's fairy tale: From the sickbed to the Kitzbühel chamois

Florian Schieder is the sensation of Kitzbühel. The 27-year-old downhill skier from Castelrotto has never been better than 13th in the World Cup and raced onto the podium on Friday, of all places, on the Streif. Five months ago he didn't even know whether he would ever be able to take part in a ski race again.
