Overwhelmed several times: Austrian skiing expectations drop sharply in the European Cup

Vincent Wieser was allowed to go to the Streif for the first time this year.

Joy and sadness are often close together in sports. Austrian skiing hope Vincent Wieser also had to go through this experience.

In the European Cup this winter, the 21-year-old is performing stronger than ever before. In mid-December he celebrated his podium debut in Santa Caterina (It) as winner and second in the two descents. As a reward, he was allowed to train for the World Cup downhills in Kitzbühel (Austria). According to the Kleine Zeitung, he decided not to start a race because his focus was, among other things, on the European Cup. And rightly so, as he proved earlier this week. In Tarvisio (It) he triumphed for the first time in a Super-G – with an Austrian quadruple victory.

“It’s part of the game”

Thanks to these performances, Wieser not only leads the general classification, but is also the leader in the downhill. He is also in second place in the Super-G, but now he is being slowed down. On Thursday he had a heavy fall during the second descent from Tarvisio.

With strong splits he lost his left ski. Wieser rolled over several times, not only his skis flew off, but also his goggles. He landed in the safety nets with a violent thud. As skinews.ch writes, he injured his shoulder. Extensive research will follow on Friday. “After the fall I need a little break,” Wieser wrote on Instagram. “It’s part of the game.”

If he were to be out for an extended period of time, he wouldn’t be the first injury to hit alpine skiing this winter. After Aleksander Aamodt Kilde (31), Alexis Pinturault (32) and Petra Vlhova (28) were affected in recent weeks at the World Cup, there were also two injuries from the European Cup this week. French Doriane Escane (25) tore her cruciate ligament and Austrian Lisa Grill (23) tore the lateral ligament. The season is over for both. Particularly bitter: at the time of the injury they were in first and second place in the overall rankings of the European Cup.
