Stephan
Eberharter is happy
What’s your comment
on your result?
“I’m very happy with today’s
result because I made some mistakes
in the steep section. Today the material
was really incredible, very good skis.
No way could I imagine being in the
second place. It’s an absolute
a great race for me”.
You seemed to have recover some energy?
“Yesm I wasn’t feeling well
those times. I have been struggling
with the flue in the last month. It’s
especially painful when you are an
athlete like me, because you need
to be 100% all the time. It’s
the first time in my whole life that
I’m so sick - sometimes it happens.
I know a lot of people who are like
this at home in their beds, that’s
nothing to talk more about. I just
started again with some more intensive
training. I was 3rd in Lake Louise’s
Super-G , and now 2nd here, that’s
quite a good summary so far for me”.
You must feel more confident now?
“Sure, all those performances
give me hope for tomorrow. I hope
the weather is not going to change,
so that we’ll have such another
great day tomorrow, and another chance
to win this race. If I’m on the
podium, that will be another good
day. But I prefer not to think at
results and just concentrate on everything
I have to for the race. Just enjoy
the moment. I want to have a clear
and solid race, and everything should
be OK”.
How would you describe your relationship
with Daron?
“I think that “relationship”
with the other racers is not really
the right term. Because the only time,
I see Daron and the rest of the World
Cup is on the hill, or on the podium.
We inspect the slope on our own and
do our race. I was very happy for
him today. Of course, I feel a lot
of respect for any racers here on
the Tour, that’s my way to handle
it”.
Sop what’s your next goal?
“I always hope to do better,
whether it’s I training or during
the race, that’s the same for
me. I had bad weeks which are behind
me, so I’m trying to improve
race by race. So far it worked 2nd
and 3rd. and tomorrow is another chance
for me to go for it I’m still
having fun. But I don’t count
like you always do. Of course, each
result gives you self confidence .But
I don’t want to start talking
about precise goals…”
