Wolf with “trembling section”
With the freeskiers Lara Wolf On Wednesday in Big Air also qualified. After a failed first attempt, she came to a total of 160.00 points in the two evaluated jumps and became seventh. The best eight athletes are included in the final on Saturday (7.30 p.m.). She called it a “tremor” herself.
“It was a tremor, I was also very nervous,” said Wolf later. “I didn’t get the first run down, then it got on it. I am glad that I can fight for a medal on Saturday.” The Tyrolean admitted that she had already irritated the greatly reduced training (only one instead of three) due to too soft landing after the kicker. “We didn’t have that much time to get used to the kicker.” But this is the past now, in the final she wants to “make better tricks and definitely put it on”.
The 25-year-old Tyrolean voted Slopestyle Vice Champion last week and provided the first World Cup medal for Austria’s women in Freeski.
