Austria's crystal ball winners of the season met on Sunday in Saalbach-Hinterglemm. Manuel Feller and Cornelia Hütter spoke to the "Krone" about their emotions, the past few weeks and how the spheres will be used as motivation for the next season. 

"I don't think I've ever been so nervous in a women's race," confessed Manuel Feller. He returned to Saalbach on Sunday morning to be honored for his third place in the overall World Cup. And didn't miss the opportunity to personally congratulate downhill queen Cornelia Hütter beforehand: "It was amazing, that was a really exciting race. Conny absolutely deserves it, she's a real stand-up girl - only sport can write such incredible stories."
