The emotion of the Austrian, triumphing in Lech / Zuers in a parallel between Wunderteam and Norway.

A dream night, his night that comes after a career as a very honest slalom specialist, never on the podium in the World Cup albeit with more than good placings, just think of the 4th place almost 5 years ago in Wengen.
It was simply Christian Hirschbuehl's day, as demonstrated by the many episodes that occurred from the qualification to the final phase of a parallel cup, under the spotlight in Lech / Zuers, which for the 31-year-old native of Vorarlberg could have finished already in the morning, inside the top 16 for only 3 cents on the first excluded, the British Charlie Raposo.
And then many comeback victories, first mocking Zan Kranjec in the second round, then Trevor Philp in the quarterfinals, finally Henrik Kristoffersen in the semifinals and compatriot Dominik Raschner (also never in the top 3 in the CdM and more specialist than him in parallel) in a very final decided by only 7 cents, with the good Christian to recover the half second accused in the first run. “It's all incredible - Hirschbuehl exclaimed almost incredulously to the FIS microphones - because I entered by a whisker and I never thought I could then beat Dominik in the final.
