Linus, between victory and tears: "It's incredible and in a very strange atmosphere". And Austria still has to wait

Strasser and his first triumph in a World Cup slalom, he who had already beaten everyone in the Stockholm city event four years ago. For the Wunderteam 2nd, 3rd and 4th place, but there is Manuel Feller's red bib.

He is practically an Austrian acquired, if we think that since his first experiences in the World Cup he has chosen Kitzbuehel as his base. At 28, Linus Strasser achieved the best success, the first in slalom and the second in the World Cup after the one obtained on 31 January 2017 in Stockholm, in a specialty such as the city event (which in fact, now, is not exists more with the new type of parallel proposed by the FIS) where he was one of the best specialists, so much so that he won his three podiums in the maximum circuit, before the fourth obtained today in Zagreb, all in that discipline with two third places in Oslo and again in Stockholm in 2018. Upon the arrival of Clément Noel, the good Linus could not hold back his tears: "It is strange without an audience here, but simply incredible - he told in the immediate post-race FIS microphones - There are only us athletes and the various teams, but it is a great emotion. And to think that until today I had never even been on the podium, but I pushed to look for the best possible result and in these conditions I knew that something strange could happen. I never thought, however, that I could even win ”.
