It was a season of the European Cup, albeit truncated in the season finale and with various postponements also in progress, which had an authentic matrix.
We are talking about Nadine Fest, 21-year-old Austrian sprinter who brought home the beauty of seven successes (3 downhill, as many in super-g and one in combined) and, with the general classification, also the permanent place in all disciplines in the next World Cup vintage. In fact, for the young Carinthian the maximum circuit has already been known for a few years, since having conquered two junior world titles in 2017. A few hiccups in terms of injuries have slowed her down, even though on two occasions she has touched the top ten in the 2018 (11th in the combined race of Crans-Montana, but above all 12th in the recovery descent in Val Gardena the following month of December), but only now Fest seems really ready to play it.
By points in CdM, during the last season, in the combined Altenmarkt-Zauchensee and in the final super-g of La Thuile, the Austrian said she was "very happy with my vintage, even though it ended so quickly ”, In an interview with colleague Andreas Raffeiner of skiweltcup.tv.
The prospects are now very interesting: “Clearly the permanent position guarantees me more freedom with my coaches to decide which races I will face next winter - Nadine continues - The constant performance gives me a nice base of trust, the goal is that to consolidate myself in the World Cup. Coronavirus? It is not easy, but I think that each of us must find positivity in the fastest way possible and make good use of the time available, filling everyday life with aspects that we had left behind and creating new ones ".
