After the World Cup kick-off
“Cheeky!” Austria – anger among the Swiss
In terms of results, the Swiss have had a successful start to the World Ski Championships, but the air is a little thick. The reason: Austria! A radio comment about the supposed "Swiss B-team" is infuriating a former top athlete and has provided Thomas Tumler with additional motivation ...
"I heard on ORF radio during the warm-up that Austria had a good chance because Switzerland was only competing with the B team in the men's event," Tumler told SRF after the team competition. There is a good dose of schadenfreude here. Because the "B team" took silver - the ÖSV team had to pack their bags in the quarter-finals.
For the 35-year-old, however, these statements mainly had a positive side effect, as he emphasizes: "It really motivated Luca Aerni and me. We gave it our all and showed that you can also win a medal with a B team".
Indignation from Beat Feuz
Meanwhile, former top athlete Beat Feuz was less amused by the "B-team statements": "That's a bit cheeky. After all, Thomas is the World Cup winner this season - and the Austrians don't have that many World Cup victories this season," the 37-year-old lashed out.
At the end, he adds, clearly angry: "That makes me a bit angry." In view of the expected Swiss World Championship medals, however, his temper should cool down again.
