Turbulent weeks brought Vivien Insam into the World Cup

Vivien Insam will return to the World Cup after an absence of almost two years. The 24-year-old from Wolkenstein last competed in the highest ski racing series on January 14, 2020, when she was unable to qualify for the second run in the Flachau slalom.

Since then, the Val Gardena native has not had an easy time and was excluded from the national team this year. This means: Insam has to fight his way through without the support of the association and on his own. However, her persistence has now been rewarded because on Tuesday (10 a.m.) the slalom specialist will compete in the first World Cup giant slalom of her career.

Most recently, Insam made people sit up and take notice in the European Cup, where she achieved her best career result in this discipline with 10th place in the giant slalom in Andalo 8 days ago. “After these two turbulent weeks, three falls, a head injury, two broken skis, two failures in the slalom, but also my best result in the giant slalom, I am on the way to Courchevel to make my World Cup debut in the giant slalom,” wrote the 24- Year-olds full of enthusiasm on social media. Karoline Pichler is also there Before her debut, however, Vivien Insam will be put through a lot of trouble: she won't be there until starting number 56. In addition to the Val Gardena woman, seven other Azzurre are in action. These are Marta Bassino, Federica Brignone, Sofia Goggia, Elena Curtoni, Roberta Melesi, Ilaria Ghisalberti and Karoline Pichler from Petersberg, who recently made people sit up and take notice with 19th place in the Super-G in St. Moritz.

Round number 1 begins in Courchevel on Tuesday at 10 a.m., the decision will take place from 13 p.m. Another giant slalom will take place on Wednesday at the same times.
