The German skier Linus Straßer took the podium in the slalom in Adelboden.
Only two Austrians were faster.
Adelboden - The German Linus Straßer finished 14th on the podium.
In the second run he showed a fabulous run and was able to secure a place on the podium.
Johannes Strolz secured the victory ahead of Manuel Feller, the two of them ensured a sensational result for the Austrians.
Until Strolz reached the finish line, no one managed to push Straßer out of first place.
Strolz also drove superbly and had to tremble as the leader until Feller crossed the finish line just behind and just in front of Straßer.
The best of the first round - compatriot Fabio Gstrein - was eliminated.
This failed an Austrian triple success.
For Strolz, the first ever victory in the World Cup was.
With his third run, Straßer qualified for the Olympic Games in Beijing, which will take place in the Chinese capital from February 4 to February 20, and is already in good shape.
