The goals at the World Cup in Nove Mesto were clear
– and the team delivered!
Katrin stormed into the top 10 finals twice , while Ethan returned to the world elite with an impressive comeback after six tough months of rehab. Natalia and Marta mastered their high school exams with flying colors – between classes and the racetrack!
Exciting start in short track
The air was tense as the best of the best faced off in short track. Katrin got off to a rocket start , finishing 8th in the sprint race —her first time on the front row!
Ethan wasn't so lucky : a crash knocked him out of the race. Natalia and Marta , fresh out of school and straight into the competition, delivered solid laps —albeit still slightly stressed from their final exams.
The main race on Sunday – drama in the drizzle
Katrin made a statement right from the start : She held her own in the chasing group, found her line and crossed the finish line in a strong ninth place .
Natalia worked her way forward meter by meter and celebrated 17th place . Marta had a tough day—but she'll turn things around in the next race !
And then there was Ethan: his first World Cup after a long injury layoff – and an 11th-place finish in the treacherous rain race ! Here, every curve and every jump was a little adventure.
Ian was unlucky as he injured himself during training and had to abandon the race – get well soon, Ian!
Thanks to the invisible backbone
None of this would be possible without our support team : hours of tire-changing, meticulously exploring every corner, massages, tactical briefings, and—not to forget—the endless amounts of energy food. You are the heroes behind the scenes who ensure our success!
Voices from the team boss
"We're on track!" beams our team leader. " The young guns still have 27 World Cups ahead of them before the end of their U23 career . The fact that Natalia and Marta are finally free of the double stress of their final exams takes a huge weight off their shoulders. And seeing Ethan back in top form is motivating us all. That was a good start! "
Off to Leogang – the next chapter is waiting!
