Vinatzer: “I’m not putting any pressure on myself”

“This is a new situation for me,” explained Alex Vinatzer, when asked about his podium finish in Zagreb. “Nevertheless, we only had a short amount of time between the races, so I haven’t really processed third place yet.” The youngster is dampening his expectations. “I'm not putting any pressure on myself now. I want to ski well, the way I can. The result that comes out comes out. “I don’t go and say that I’m aiming for the podium,” says the Wolkensteiner modestly.

Vinatzer will tackle the first run in Madonna with start number 17. His long-term goal is as follows: “I want to earn a place in the top 15 on the starting list. Maybe I’ll even manage to get into the top 7, but the next races will show that.”

Mölgg and Maurberger want to attack With Manfred Mölgg and Simon Maurberger, two more hot South Tyroleans are there. Mölgg, who finished 2th in Zagreb, explained: “I would have expected a little more in Zagreb, but it wasn't bad anyway. The level is extremely high this year, 8 different athletes were on the podium in 8 races. In Campiglio it will certainly be a little more technical than in Zagreb.”

Maurberger, however, was fully satisfied with his 10th place in Croatia. “It was a good step in the right direction. I finally implemented in the race what I always show in training. Nevertheless, there is still a lot of work ahead of me. My credo in Madonna? Attack, from the first goal to the last.”
