Manuel Feller, who struggled with hip problems after his straddle in the Gurgl slalom, will miss the giant slalom in Beaver Creek (USA). “The injured hip hasn't healed 100 percent yet and I've lost an important week of training, especially since I haven't been on giant slalom skis for a month. There are now five races on the program and since I'm not completely fit yet, I've decided to stay at home. I’m very confident that I’ll be back to 100 percent in Val d’Isere,” said Feller.
Squad for downhill training in Beaver Creek A total of 13 Ski Austria athletes will tackle the downhill training on the Birds of Prey in Beaver Creek. In addition to the seeded Vincent Kriechmayr, Stefan Babinsky, Otmar Striedinger, Daniel Danklmaier, Daniel Hemetsberger, Manuel Traninger and Stefan Rieser, these are Lukas Feurstein, Raphael Haaser, Andreas Ploier, Stefan Eichberger, Vincent Wieser and Felix Hacker.
