Franziska Gritsch continues to train away from her teammates. The 27-year-old’s name does not appear in the ÖSV training groups.
The reason for this is a love affair with ex-ÖSV coach Florian Stengg. The couple now trains as their own team and represents the ÖSV at the races.
The association covers the travel and hotel costs, but Gritsch has to pay for any training himself. “Franzi represents the association’s sponsors and doesn’t get a cent for it. I don’t advertise something if I don’t get anything out of it. That’s not possible,” her partner Stengg now complains to the “Tiroler Tageszeitung“.

Stecher: “You have to pay for the training yourself”
The training is sometimes very expensive, even though there is support from Ötztal or SC Sölden.
The ÖSV is now probably thinking about funding, but is still leaving the whole thing open. “You have to pay for the training yourself. If we allowed that, then everyone would do it that way,” said sports director Mario Stecher.
Like her colleagues, Gritsch is currently training in Sölden. But from summer onwards there are long ways to go. That can eat up a lot of money.
