In perfect conditions, Austria’s tobogganing aces kick off the new World Cup season in Lillehammer on Saturday. He was allowed to start in Friday’s qualification (seventh), but not in the World Cup team, which is limited to four starters.”This time I don’t have a chance, but I’m still using it as training and to get new impressions,” says the level man. In any case, the conditions in Norway are great: “It’s already cold and the track is very fast, most people are already half a second under the track record in training.”
