Three days after the start of the 2022/23 season, here is the Wunderteam to present itself with the 19 athletes who will be lined up for the races that will open the World Cup, with the women's giant on Saturday and the men's giant on Sunday on Rettenbach in Soelden.
Eleven women chosen for Austria, with the dream of breaking the fasting of victories in the opening, such as since 2014 that Anna Veith (at the time Fenninger) imposed herself ex aequo with Mikaela Shiffrin, as well as on a male level the red and white do not rejoice from the same year, when Hirscher dominated the Rettenbach.
Katharina Liensberger is probably the best card for the Austrian team, even if she starts outside 3pm, with the world champion bronze of Cortina 2021 who will aim to do very well this year even between wide doors. Up front we will see Katharina Truppe and Ramona Siebenhofer, inside also Ricarda Haaser (another important card), Katharina Huber and the three athletes who had the better of the internal qualification, namely Elisa Moerzinger, Magdalena Egger and Magdalena Kappaurer.
With the permanent position guaranteed by the results of the 2021/22 European Cup, at the starting gate we will see Franziska Gritsch, who can do really well after having relaunched last season, and the 2000 class Nina Astner. Finally, here is Stephanie Brunner in the list of 11 called, with the only doubt linked to the problem accused by the Tyrolean in Val Senales a couple of days ago: if the 28-year-old from Tux should eventually give up on the eve of the race, the very young is ready Sophia Waldauf.
Only eight men at the start of the giant on Sunday, with two tiles not just for the team of coach Marko Pfeifer and Mike Pircher: the second best Austrian specialist, Stefan Brennsteiner, is out due to the meniscus problem accused yesterday (always in the course of a training session in Val Senales), while Roland Leitinger, 2nd a year ago on the Rettenbach, postponed his return after the crusader break in November 2021.
Manuel Feller will lead the Wunderteam, he who is in the first sub-starting group (the world top 7), but Marco Schwarz is given in excellent shape, who wants to level up even in the giant, while they will aim only for the points area. two leaders of the speed team, Matthias Mayer and Vincent Kriechmayr who have chosen to be there like Dominik Raschner, Raphael Haaser and the two boys raised in recent years by Ferdinand Hirscher. Let's talk about Patrick Feurstein and Thomas Dorner.
