The Austrians have had a disappointing ski season. There were only two victories (both Super-G in Kvitfjell, Norway at the beginning of March), Cornelia Hütter (30) was the best athlete in the overall World Cup as 14th.
Ski Austria therefore pulled the cord and presented a new head coach at the end of March. Roland Assinger (49) takes over from Thomas Trinker after a year.
Liensberger no longer solo
Now he has announced the first changes for next season. This also affects Katharina Liensberger (26), who last worked with a private team. “She will be integrated into the team,” Assinger told the “Kurier”. “I’d like to avoid these extra extra sausages if possible.”
The 2021 slalom world champion has had a season to forget. In the two technical disciplines, she has finished in the top 10 only three times.
your best result? Fifth in the giant slalom and sixth in the slalom. And that despite the fact that she has been trained by Livio Magoni (59) in the meantime. He once led Tina Maze (39) or Petra Vlhova (27) to great success, but the chemistry between him and Liensberger was off. The experiment with the private trainer went wrong.
“The Woman Can Ski”
Your needs still need to be taken into account. “Every athlete gets what they need,” says Assinger. “But in the team structure that’s how I want it to be.” He is confident that Liensberger will catch the curve and build on their old successes. “The woman can ski.”
The teamwork should help Liensberger now. The structure of the training groups will also change for the Austrians. Instead of three as before, training is now conducted in four smaller groups, composed on the basis of geographical aspects. In addition, medalists and World Cup winners must be represented in all groups. (bir)
