A time of revolutions in Austria. The farewells of Andreas Puelacher and Christian Mitter, or the heads of the two male and female sectors of the OESV, have already been announced for some time, or in the final of the World Cup, today comes the news of the termination of the relationship with Toni Giger.
We are talking about a real myth of Austrian skiing, given that he had been working in the home federation for 33 years, a successful coach with the great era of the 90s led by Hermann Maier, and sporting director until the end of this 2021 season / 22 so complicated for Austria. "On behalf of the entire Austrian ski family, we owe him our thanks and special respect - the words of OESV president Roswitha Stadlober - On the one hand, we are losing a person of great experience, on the other we can continue to draw on many of his insights and innovations, through the same Ski Austria Service & Technology competence center he created ”.
“I have been doing my dream job for 33 years - explained Giger himself - The federation is currently in a phase of upheaval, in the last few weeks I have decided that I too would like to make another professional change and face a new challenge. It wasn't easy for me to make the decision, but it's the right one. I wish the best to my successors and to the entire OESV, I will be happy with their success in the future ”.
As for Andreas Puelacher, the future of the 57-year-old Tyrolean coach is already certain: the former head of the male sector of Austria (which he supervised since 2014), will in fact lead the girls of the CdM group of the German national team, as he made official a few hours does the same DSV. Puelacher replaces Juergen Graller, who resigned after five years in that role, while Markus Lenz will take over the technical disciplines team in place of Georg Harzl.
