Hi all,
We’re in the thick of another thrilling winter season and what a season it’s shaping up to be! As we are officially one year away from the start of the Olympic Winter Games in Milan Cortina today, we are excited about what’s to come, especially as we reflect on all we’ve accomplished this season so far.
KITZBUEHEL, Austria (Jan. 23, 2015)—Kitzbuehel has officially started and it was as thrilling as everyone hoped. The Americans came in strong to the super G, with two-time Olympic medalist Andrew “Warhorse” Weibrecht (Lake Placid, NY) pulling off a career-best World Cup result in fifth place, and Steven Nyman (Squaw Valley, CA) taking 13th.
It was a gnarly course, as always, set more like a downhill than a super G, with both smooth and bumpy sections. But Weibrecht skied it cleanly and aggressively, nailing his line.
On a day rife with problematic weather and course holds due to fog, the 37-year-old veteran Steven Nyman remained unfazed on his favorite track of the circuit, scoring his best super-G result at Val Gardena, Italy since 2006 to lead the American men, in 13th.
