'Big celebrations from the home crowd' - Schoeffmann leads Austria to parallel giant slalom gold
Snowboarder Sabine Schoeffmann's superb run of form continued with mixed team parallel giant slalom gold at Simonhohe.
On Saturday, the Austrian won her sixth World Cup medal of the season and first career victory in the individual GS on home snow.
The 31-year-old capped a weekend to remember with a brilliant comeback win alongside Andreas Prommegger.
In the final against Switzerland's Dario Caviezel and Ladina Jenny, Prommegger made a mistake at the start gate but Schoeffmann made up the deficit with a brilliant ride to gold.
“Amazing, I can’t believe it," Schoeffmann said. "It was such a tough three weeks and now we earned this. I don’t know, I mean what can you say?
“I think the whole week and the last three weeks were amazing, but this was the top of the top.
"Winning at home, winning in front of family and friends, I am so grateful and thankful to everyone who makes this race possible.”
Prommegger and Schoeffmann are two from two in the discipline having won the season opener at Bad Gastein, with the next race at Craigleith, Canada on February 16.
Bronze went to the German pairing of Ramona Hofmeister, who took third in Bad Gastein with Stefan Baumeister, but this time led Elias Huber onto the podium.
