Feuz is one of the Best ever

I felt on Saturday at the time of departure with the athletes, as they were at the Start, the vagaries of the weather and the race was repeatedly postponed. How do you cope with that? Older athletes with a lot of experience can handle this better, more relaxed.

The boys, however, are required in such a Situation, especially at a world Cup. , To restore calm again, get them all riled up get them all riled up – the addition of something, learns as an athlete with the years of wars. How he protects his head and his body the best and to the point but is ready again.

there Was a shift, I went only once away from the slopes, unwind, have a drink, the race for a Moment lose sight of. As the Start drew closer, I went back in the direction of the slope, looked at the concentration. Those who were on Saturday in the front, did perfect. And I must also say: The Best of the day, stood on the podium.

I understand the disappointment of the Swiss, and especially from Beat Feuz, that he speaks of the conditions with the snow and the poor visibility would not be a world Cup worthy. Everyone wishes for a big occasion, a neutral and a hundred percent correct ratios. Only it will be never. We think of the world Championships in Morioka in 1993, because it was extremely. There, the Swiss were with Urs Lehmann, the Lucky ones. Lucky, there also needs to be in such nasty conditions.

This was missing for me at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary. I was in all the Super-G in front of it on the podium. But in this race, a fierce gust of wind caught me in the middle part, I immediately felt: This is a race I lost. I was Fifth. It sucks when you can for his defeat nothing. This Situation provides a but also for humility. And I knew If I keep fighting, come back, the happiness to me, that compensates for everything. I can Feuz’ understand frustration so, but I'm sure that this will soon set and he still has a great Chance of victory in the downhill world Cup.

Yes, Beat Feuz. His career impressed me. I once met a doctor who was one of the many operations on his left knee. He described to me what a poor state this was, and I can only say: It's a miracle what he's doing on the slopes. He is a huge Talent, I have already noticed to his Junior times, he was able to drive in all disciplines, brutally fast, and had an insane sense of balance and a feel for the acceleration, as I have experienced this only very, very rarely. What he has done with his story, I can only say: He is one of the best ski racers ever.

He is the undisputed Leader in the Swiss Team, the great Foundation. Then there is a Caviezel, comes from the technical side, and is the world's top closer. And this must also be the way for the young. If one is not technically placed in the absolute top, he has today in the downhill. This important fact has been neglected in Switzerland in the past few years. Therefore, it needs some time before anything can grow in the right way, and to a wide departure of the team. So, like Feuz, you don't get paid.

For him, the Situation is as the sole Leader is very difficult. The athletes have behind him a Chance in peace to build something. That we had together, in my time, such a strong team, helped. I knew, if I don't get the run-down, others, the peace – all the more pressure prevailed in the Training. Already there I had to get everything out of me, so I was. It was abnormal, as we are drives us to each other.

So it was with the Norwegians, only with Aamodt and Kjus, and until Saturday, Jansrud and Svindal, therefore they won Gold and silver. They grew together as a Team, working together, these dynamics in the case of the Norwegians: phenomenal! They are gentlemen, go together, through thick and thin, sitting in the same boat. You feel: We can get involved. And, screwed the Whole thing in horrendem pace, so to the top. The Norwegians have always impressed me. It is a quiet people, humble and ready to give everything. Seen in this way, has resulted in the departure absolutely the right winner. (Tages-Anzeiger.ch/Newsnet)
