Mario Seidl is ready for world cup at home at Ramsau

It isn’t only most beautiful place at home during Christmas time. It always very special to compete at home in front of your own crowd, family and friends. For lot of sportsmen competing at home is very special and therefore gives an extra portion of motivation and ambition.
Seidl already showed some great ambition that he wants to be with the best Nordic combined athletes also this year. Three top ten results on the first three competition days in Ruka argue a great preparation und the right way for the 25 year old.

The second station of this year’s world cup in Lillehammer/ Norway wasn’t as planned for Seidl. Mario only took part in the team event (6th place for Austria). The following day at the single competition Mario had to give up after jumping because he suffered from a cold.

But after his „recovery-break“ Mario Seidl wants to attack at the upcoming weekend at Ramsau and be with the best athletes there.

Mario Seidl: „I’m happy that Ramsau is coming up. Competing at home in front of my family and my friends is always something very special for me. The world cup opening in Ruka was a very solid and successful start. Now I also want to show a solid performance and try to develop step by step and be close to the very best athletes. The last few days were very precious to get rid of my cold. My cold shouldn’t play any part at the upcoming competition. I do feel well again and I want to bring it on the hill and on the slope at Ramsau. The anticipation is great – I’m really looking forward to competing in Dachstein region.”
