Salbach: American Breesi Johnson turned to the Burner after a shock to women at the World Sky Championship in Salbach on Saturday, while the veteran team returned to Lindsay Wan at 15th. –

Johnson, with only seven World Cup podiums in his name, reduced 15,000 flags at the Austrian resort, flagging the flag 2.9 km long in front of the fans for 1 minute 41.29 seconds in the Alley Mayer course.

“I made some mistakes. I knew it was not perfect, but when I was crossing the line, I looked at the time and said Amaaaaazazing! ´.

“I felt pressure. I couldn’t sleep and lay down in bed to rest a little. When I get nervous, I feel like a shot on this thing – going out and doing like you is a positive.

Austria’s Marjam Pachner used silver in 0.15 seconds, with check all -rounder Easter Ledica claiming bronze (+0.21).

Van, at the beginning of his 21st World Championship, came down for the joy of the crowd in 1: 43.25, and is unable to suppress its claims for the ninth World Championship medal in the ninth champs.

Due to a fans’ favorite German flow command in Austria, Van kissed when he came out after his impressive top 15 ended.

She retired after a bronze under a bronze in 2019, but returned to the season at the age of 40 after the knee reconstruction, which she said for the first time in the years, was free from discomfort. –

In Salbach, Dowanal fell just a year before the race at the next year’s Milan/Cortona Demopzo Winter Olympics, not losing the fact.

“I am ahead of Sophia and I think in Kortana, he is the number one person there,” Van said about Italy’s Goygia, who won the 2018 Olympic Downto Gold Medal, who in Beijing in 2022 He also won a silver medal. “So” so it doesn’t like I’m screaming badly. These are not just all the pieces together.

What made Johnson’s victory even more noteworthy was that the 29 -year -old young man was the first of the initials in the Austrian resort, in the sunshine.

It is as if Patrick and Teleb is the only second racer who was wearing a world -won number one, Austria won the Olympic Men’s Downthil title in 1992.

After moving in Salbach at a speed of 140 km per hour and talking to a leap of up to 38 meters, Johnson spoke about pressing a snowy, circuit region that compared to many pundits- and racers. I proved to be much more trial. Race

“I had a lot of time where I performed my best and I did not win,” said Johnson, who returned from a 14 -month ban on three doping tests in December.

“You have to be happy with your performance. You have to be happy with your own skiing. Your existence soon becomes sad. I was happy with my skiing today.

Many skiers were pulled through two clean turns in the ending area, and slid slides into the transfer and lost valuable seconds.

Johnson’s previous best World Champs resulted in the ninth in Dawandal in Kortana in 2021, while he was ranked seventh in discipline at the 2018 Pyong Cheng Olympics, who lost 2022 Beijing games through injury.

Italy was disappointed because Nicole Deligo, SuperG Silver Medalist Federica Bergona and Giagia came into the 8th, 10 and 16th, respectively.

“This was one of the worst runs of my career.” The second was really difficult to understand the line, today, something was lost today, but I am not as angry as I was after Super G.

“We knew that this course would be fast and faster.”

Austria’s SuperG winner Stephanie Wanerier was ranked ninth in 0.99 seconds, while team fellow Cornelia Hotator was fourth (+0.34).

He was compensated late through Germany’s Emma Asher, who behind the American Lauren McGoga, though he finished the very reliable sixth work, which won the joint bronze in Super G. One day was to forget, skiing.
