Austrian women’s team tries out a different kind of downhilling

The Austrian women’s speed team tried out a different kind of downhilling at the site of the men’s World Cup race last season in Saalbach-Hinterglemm. Trading in skis for mountain bikes, the ladies practiced their skills before donning protective gear to work on descending. 

“We can also learn a lot in this training, especially for concentration and also finding the limit of our speed,” said two-time world champion Lizzi Goergl regarding the experience.
