Sports director Peter Moizi of ‘Krone’ writes today in ‘Stop Duty’ that Austrian football fans may be too optimistic if they hope that David Alaba will be fit again at the European Championships next summer. Dominic Thiem should be a cautionary tale about overconfidence…
A few contemplative hours with family and friends, presents, good food and Christmas cookies. The Austrian sports stars talked openly about the short break for the holidays, before the New Year the red-white-red figureheads have to go full throttle again…
- Stefan Kraft starts the Four Hills Tournament on Friday as favorite.
- The downhillers completed their first training in Bormio today.
- Thousands of fans will cheer on our ski ladies during the home races in Lienz on Thursday and Friday.
- Dominic Thiem starts the new tennis year in Brisbane this weekend.
Thiem’s comeback has not gone as planned so far
In June 2021, the 17-time tournament winner injured his wrist and the comeback has not gone as planned so far. He was a few percent short of top form, was not mentally up to speed and only had a few outliers. The four-time Grand Slam finalist lost track after his long break and the injury put a dent in his previously perfect career.
The optimism of many football fans who hope that David Alaba will play against the French in Düsseldorf on June 17, 2024 seems all the more presumptuous. Exactly six months after his ACL tear. He must not only be fit, but also in top form to survive this EURO challenge.
