Kurt Sulzenbacher, aged 26, Junior World Champion 1995, designated successor of Kristian Ghedina in the Italian National Team and 8th best in the official FIS downhill worldcup list is hot to score a great result this year in Val Gardena. "A win at home would be fantastic. I know this run as my vestpockets. I trained dozens of times on the "Saslong" in the past and had also many Europe Cup Runs. I hope to see even more spectators last years".
Kurt Sulzenbacher got 3th at last year's World Cup race in Val Gardena (2001).
The "Saslong" is fast, technical and with many jumps. This is good for me" said Sulzenbacher in a video-statement during a press conference in Bolzano.
