Something is happening in the youth area of German ski sports. This also makes ski legend Felix Neureuther rejoice, which also speaks a reminder.
Munich-It was a moment that gives hope to German ski sports and certainly also made the heart of Felix Neureuther beat faster: Felix Rösle raced down the slopes at the Junior World Cup in Tarvisio and secured the gold medal in the departure with a very thin lead of two hundredths.
He ended a 37 -year dry spell for Germany in this discipline. Felix Rösle-a name that German ski fans should remember. Neureuther also sees it that way, even though he also presses the euphoric.
Felix Neureuther raves about German ski jewel: “You won’t just be like that junior world champion”
“You won’t just get that junior world champion,” begins Neureuther, whose wife Miriam recently shared a touching photo of her newborn baby, in the winter sports podcast of the Sports show to rave about Felix Rösle. “You have to bring a lot of potential and have a lot.” However, the success of the 20-year-old German ski juwel at the Junior World Championship in Tarvisio is not a mayfly.
Rösle has already made a name for itself in the European Cup and South Americacup. In the European Cup, he achieved an impressive sixth place on the Thurn passport, while he even won the Super-G in the South America Cup. These successes make him an integral part of the German B squad and hope that one day he can close the gap in the German Speed team. “Felix is a emotional skier, and you urgently need that in the departure,” says Neureuther.
Neureuther presses Euphoriebremse in German ski hope Rösle: “Do not build up large pressure”
With all the euphoria, however, Neureuther also warns of caution: “So he still has to develop. You can get junior world champions, but you have not yet achieved anything in terms of World Cup. That is why we do well not to build up large pressure, but that the boys simply develop piece by piece.”
For a good reason, Neureuther dampens expectations of the only 20-year-old Rösle. “Such a World Cup descent is already a completely different number. Sports show-InterView, who most recently praised football coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Rösle in the footsteps of ski stars like Odermatt and Feuz-more parallel immediately catches the eye
Nevertheless, Rösles’s previous achievements hope that he could be among the big ones in skiing in a few years. In addition, the parallels to the Swiss ski -through Marco Odermatt and Beat Feuz, who also became departure world champions in the junior area, are unmistakable. Both made the leap into the top of the world – Rösle at least has the talent to take a similar way.
In addition, another parallel stands out that should give all German ski fans hopes: Felix Rösle listens to the same first name as Felix Neureuther. “The first name is quite nice,” emphasizes the namesake in the podcast with a laugh. One thing is certain: Anyone who can already have parallels with Odermatt, Feuz and Neureuther at the age of 20 must simply belong to the German skiing. (KUS)
