Ski star Dorfmeister
“We’re not lacking in young talent”
Elena Riederer celebrated her debut in the Ski World Cup at the RTL in Sestriere, but unfortunately missed the second run. She managed to qualify for the Junior World Championships, which start on Thursday in Tarvisio, and is therefore one of the great blue and yellow ski hopes. Lower Austrian Alpine Sports Director Michaela Dorfmeister has her eye on who else is coming up.
"My dad taught me how to ski, he also trained me at the beginning," recalls Elena Riederer, "then I quickly realized that I wanted to ski in the World Cup one day." She succeeded, competing in two World Cup giant slaloms in Sestriere.
"Elena is a technically outstanding skier," says Olympic champion Michaela Dorfmeister, "she has also had a few serious injuries. Nevertheless, she goes one step further every year."
Speed specialist Nadine Hundegger from Rohr am Gebirge is also working towards this, stalking her way up through the European Cup. "But Nadine still needs stability so that she can put her racing gene and bravado to good use."
Angelika Dallhammer (Lunz) came sixth in the slalom at the Youth Olympic Games in Bakuriani, while Romy Sykora (Göstling) finished eleventh. "They still need one or two results for the ÖSV squad." In the meantime, Stella Tschach (Hohe Wand) won the FIS slalom at Pass Thurn.
And the men? Stephan Koch (Waidhofen/Y.) is working on his comeback, Raphael Riederer and Adrian Tschach are fighting their way to the top in the European Cup and FIS races respectively. "The ones we have in our quiver still need some time," Dorfmeister is convinced, "we don't have the volume that Salzburg or Tyrol have, but we're not lacking in young talent."
