SOLDEN. 15/10/2004 08:29. The Austrians have selected their starting lineups for the first alpine World Cup of the season, the giant slalom next weekend at Sцlden. Most of the spots in Austria’s maxed-out quota went to pre-determined racers who qualified off of world rank and other factors. A time trial yesterday, Wednesday the 13th, determined the final starters. Based on that race simulation, the last two open spots in their women’s quota went to Marlies Schild and Michaela Kirchgasser. The last start bibs on the men’s side went to Michael Walchhofer, Stephan Goergl and Mario Matt.
Austria's women's team : Silvia Berger, Michaela Dorfmeister, Elisabeth Gцrgl, Renate Gцtschl, Niki Hosp, Michaela Kirchgasser, Alexandra Meissnitzer, Eveline Rohregger, Marlies Schild, Katrin Zettel
Austria's men's team : Hermann Maier, Stephan Gцrgl, Christoph Gruber, Hans Knauss, Hermann Maier, Mario Matt, Benjamin Raich, Hannes Reiter, Andreas Schifferer, Rainer Schцnfelder, Michael Walchhofer.
