ContestHappening 5 2023 | Preliminary decision in Fieberbrunn?

Austrians lead in Austria

by Timo Macvan 03/04/2023
The Freeride World Tour 2022/23 starts its final stops in the Alps next weekend. The next stop at the infamous Wildseeloder in Fieberbrunn promises two new events and could become the unofficial finale.

The first and only tour stop in the German-speaking Alps has a special competition in store. In Fieberbrunn, the athletes compete against each other in the "best of two" mode. This means that every athlete has to, or is allowed to, plunge twice into the sometimes very steep and exposed slope. The Wildseeloder demands technically demanding, controlled skiing from the athletes, but is also a playground for creativity.

A never-before-seen table at this stage of the tour adds extra spice to the event. For the first time in the history of the tour, two local heroes are leading the standings in the men's ski category. One question can already be answered in Fieberbrunn:

Can Valentin Rainer and Max Hitzig maintain their lead or even take a decisive step towards becoming Freeride World Champion?

This question, extended to the other categories, will probably also decide how the wildcard holders will fit into the tour. In addition to well-known tour winners such as Arianna Tricomi (FWT Champion 2018, 2019 and 2020 in the women's ski category) and Manuela Mandl (FWT Champion 2018 in the women's snowboard category), US freestyle snowboarder Ryan Wachendorfer also received a wildcard. All three are aiming to shake up the tour and bring even more quality to this tour.
