Soelden is approaching and the Austria of the male giant wants to figure well in the inaugural appointment of the season on the Rettenbach, after the disappointments of recent years.
Just under 40 days at the weekend of 23-24 October and the team led by Mike Pircher, the former coach of Marcel Hirscher who took over the "hot potato" of a team in crisis after the retirement of the champion from Salzburg, he finished an excellent training on the snows of the Pitztal glacier. “We have found conditions at the top and the boys are doing well”, confirmed OESV male director Andreas Puelacher.
On the track all the big names of the Wunderteam, from Marco Schwarz to Manuel Feller up to the revelation of last season, that Stefan Brennsteiner who never came out of the top five in the last four giants of the World Cup, conquering the first two podiums of his career with the third places of Bansko and Kranjska Gora.
The Swiss slalomists led by coach Matteo Joris chose Peer's skidome: the Aosta Valley technician led his team of specialists made up of Ramon Zenhaeusern, Daniel Yule, Sandro Simonet, Tanguy Nef and Luca Aerni to Belgium, to work on the 350 meters of the indoor track and recreate a similar situation, at slope level with gentle slopes, which we will find at the next Olympic Games in Beijing, where the slalom track will be anything but impossible.
