Now I try to get some ideas from the strongest of the moment, Marcel Hirscher and Henrik Kristoffersen. Starting with the pectoral highs it is difficult to approach them and beat them, but I hope to succeed in the coming years ".

It would be extraordinary if in 2026 they managed to play the Olympic Games here in Italy, in front of the home crowd. In the next slalom I will try to continue to make a result to get the call to the World Cup in Ã…re ".
"In the team I have a good relationship with Manfred Moelgg. We are both ladins, in the last races he helped me a lot and I asked him for advice. My main goal for the future is to win as much as possible "concludes Alex Vinatzer.
