Great season start
for Martina Ertl
Germany’s Martina Ertl achieved quite an impressive
comeback in Soelden’s sunny World Cup Opening in winning her first World Cup
race for a long time.
The 30-year-old Bavarian veteran who beat by 20/100 of
a second Sweden’s Anja Paerson, the reigning GS World Champion, has not won a
World Cup event since her last success here in October 2000.
She was 2nd in
the first leg, only 4/100 behind the leader, Maria-Jose Rienda-Contreras. The
28-year-old Spanish skier reached her very first World Cup podium in finishing
3rd ahead of one of last year’s winners, Slovenia’s Tina Maze.
Other
favorites as Italy’s Karen Putzer or Switzerland’s Sonja Nef, who injured
herself at a knee last winter, also ended among the top-10 while Austria’s
specialists struggled more or less.
Alexandra Meissnitzer was 8th but
Michaela Dorfmeister, a winner here two years ago, was a far 27th after a
disastrous second run. Her teammate Nicole Hosp, co-winner here last season
along Maze and Norway’s Andrine Flemmen, crashed in the first run. She slightly
injured herself at her knee and her back, but she should be able to compete in a
month in Park City.
Martina Ertl at her best
Ertl showed
much emotion after her newest triumph, her 14th on the World Cup Tour since
March 1993. “I’m having a hard time to realize what is happening to me today. I
didn’t expect to reach the podium here on this demanding course. It’s really a
dream which came true because I have been waiting it for such a long time. A
year ago, I even didn’t qualify for the second run because of the bad weather
conditions. I really struggled in giant slalom until I reached again the podium
in Maribor last January where I came in 3rd. I had many health problems in past
winters but now I’m feel very confident. I’m in good shape and I use terrific
material. Since last summer, I’m also racing with Rossignol boots which also
helped me to ski so fast today”.
A winner in the giant slalom World Cup
standings in 1998, Martina was also twice 2nd in the overall standings in 1996
and 1998.
After this superb success, she aims for another strong World Cup
season yet without thinking too much about the Crystal globe.
“I know I have
the potential to fight for the overall victory but I don’t want to think too
much about it” she says. “Three years ago I injured myself at a knee after
winning here so I know how fast you can be out!”
“I was lucky to come
afterwards to win gold in combined at St Anton and bronze at the 2002 Olympics
in Salt Lake City”.
“This season I want to focus more on the technical
disciplines and race less downhills. It should help me to find back my form also
in slalom. I said to Anja on the podium that I’m back. She will also go for it.
The most important is to stay healthy throughout the winter”.
“Now I don’t
feel not so much pressure anymore, being on the podium at the opening is a great
boost for your moral”.
