The German team is very satisfied, and to the surprise of Marcel Hirscher and Julia Schepp, the top Swiss stars are yet to trickle in

German Alpine Ski Team: Lena Dörr 'very happy' – Schmid and Strasser made a good impression

It was already clear that the German players in Sölden would not be able to compete for wins or podium places under normal circumstances. In giant slalom, the team is still far from being among the best in the world, especially because Stefan Loitzthe only active German World Cup winner in giant slalom, had to cancel his start at short notice due to a hand injury.

The performance of the slalom specialist is beyond amazing Lena Dor, She finished tenth in the women's race and became the best athlete on the All-German team.

She showed a particularly impressive performance in the second round, which improved her by four places and made her “simply very, very happy”, as was revealed in an interview with Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR).

In the men's race as well, the two German drivers who won first place expressed great satisfaction after reviewing the race. Alexander Schmid In the first competition of the new season, he built on his strong campaign from the previous year, where he finished sixteenth at his current approved performance level:

Also achieved Linus Strasser (At the end of the twenty-first) and Jonas Stockinger (25.) The second round, men. It was the same thing too Fabiana Dorigo (24) Successful for women.

The result should be particularly encouraging for Strasser, the slalom athlete (last year's winner in Kitzbühel and Schladming) is already world-class in his favorite field, and the fact that in the first stage of the season he was enough for two focused and good rounds in the giant slalom could be a good sign for the race. The next meander is in Levi.
