ÖSV newcomer
Kleinwalsertal is back on the ski map
World Championship downhill bronze in Vail/Beaver Creek in 1999 was the crowning glory of Stefanie Schuster's career, who competed in her last World Cup race in March 2002. What nobody knew at the time: with her departure, Kleinwalsertal also disappeared from the ÖSV ski map. But 17-year-old Marie Therese Haller is now changing that.
"Of course, a lot of things were new, but I was still able to adapt quite quickly," says Marie Therese Haller with a smile. The 17-year-old qualified for the ÖSV C squad last winter with her performances and has now been training with them for several months.
"In the spring we had a snow course together in Sölden, and recently we also went to the Stilfserjoch twice," reveals Marie Therese, who is the first Kleinwalsertal girl to make it into a Ski Austria squad since Stefanie Schuster - bronze medal winner in the 1999 World Championship downhill in Vail/Beaver Creek and currently Vice President of the Vorarlberg Ski Association. "The fact that we only had five skiers on these courses meant that I was able to learn a lot for myself."
The Stams ski high school student made her FIS debut in November 2022 and quickly showed her potential. Her favorite discipline? "I actually prefer giant slalom," says the Rossignol skier, who celebrated her first podium in a FIS race with third place in Axams in March. "But so far I've had an easier time in the slalom races." So it will be interesting to see what happens next winter...
