Roland Assinger does not renew: Austrian sprinters without their "lighthouse"

The technical expert leaves the Wunderteam, the confirmation comes from DS Toni Giger to the APA. Schmidhofer and companions await a new manager.

A few days after the return to the snow, which for the first working groups will take place already at the beginning of next week in Soelden, the Wunderteam of the Austrian women's speed loses its reference point. Roland Assinger will no longer be the head of the eagle sector, having not reached an agreement with the OESV for the renewal of a contract expiring in mid-May. The red and white sports director Toni Giger confirmed this to the APA agency, "not wanting to add further comments to the news", after the federal president Peter Schroecksnadel had instead expressed his disappointment at a break occurred when the signature seemed instead what made and before "Assinger made further requests". Austrian women therefore await a new head coach, for a group led in the last 6 years by the former downhill racer who had brought the team back to very high levels, especially in the magical 2018/19 season (albeit with the disappointment of the Are world championships ), when there were series victories and the hat-trick in the downhill World Cup with Schmidhofer ahead of Venier and Schmidhofer. In the vintage ended last March, however, in the Regina Venier discipline, Ortlieb and Schmidhofer concluded only from 7th to 9th place in the final specialty classification, with the success of "Nici" in Lake Louise and the good news, after a central part of the season of great difficulty, of the first success in career of the art daughter Nina Ortlieb, capable of burning Federica Brignone for a penny in the super-g of La Thuile that concluded the World Cup.
