Neureuther with 'whole body pain' in fifth place

While the interview with winner marcel hirscher was shown on the giant video screen in the finish area of zagreb, neureuther’s own conclusion was nevertheless good despite missing the podium and finishing fifth. "After the fall, this is actually a very good placing," said the skier from partenkirchen, who had fallen in training. "I was in pain all over, and it’s not so easy in the head after a crash like that."

Austrian hirscher not only extended his lead in the discipline world cup over neureuther in front of 17,000 spectators on sunday, but also took over first place in the overall rankings. He won the day ahead of andre myhrer (sweden) and compatriot mario matt.

Two days after the floodlit performance of the women’s slalom team with maria hofl-riesch in sixth place as the best german, the german alpine men also hoped in vain for the fifth pole position of the world championship winter. After crossing the finish line, teammate fritz dopfer said he trusted "felix" to win the next race after his strong new year’s performance in the parallel slalom in munich. But neureuther lost too much time in difficult conditions. 1.31 seconds off hirscher, 0.22 off the podium. "I could have done a bit better in the first and second runs, but I didn’t take the full risk," the 28-year-old complained a little.

Dopfer finished eleventh, his second best slalom result of the season. "I can build on this and go into the new races with confidence," said the man from garmisch.

In the women’s race, on the other hand, there was no other german top-15 finish with the success of the 17-year-old american mikaela shiffrin. "But there will be races again where things will get better," said alpine director wolfgang maier. For the ladies stand in st. Anton the first speed races of the year, perhaps with lindsey vonn (USA) as a returnee. The men fight for points in slalom and giant slalom in adelboden in switzerland.

But first of all, neureuther was looking forward to the healing actions of his doctors in bavaria. "It’s good to come home and be treated well," stressed the three-time world cup winner, who had experienced a "pretty heavy takeoff" in training in preparation for the race in the croatian capital. "His fall looked very wild," admitted hirscher. In zagreb, neureuther had therefore started with bruises and first had to feel his way in the first run. "Now i know it’s going to last," was his conclusion after ranking seventh in the first round. There was the world cup for dominik stehle as 33. And stefan luitz on rank 37 already over.

Neureuther wants to be fit again in adelboden, hofl-riesch also promised to "keep fighting" – and will soon have the permanent rival of the past years as an opponent. For the first speed races of the year a return of vonn is on the horizon. The four-time overall world cup winner returned to european snow training after a world cup break."It feels great to be back and i can’t wait to race again," explained the 28-year-old.

Two drivers were caught by the police on sunday for driving well over the legal alcohol limit. Both now face criminal charges and the loss of their driver’s licenses.

Officers stopped the first alcoholic sunday around 10.15 o’clock in burghaig. During the check of the 49-year-old daihatsu driver, a suspicious "flag" was waved by the police contrary to. A preliminary test showed a value of more than 1.6 promille. The woman’s journey was thus ended on the spot, she had to hand over her driver’s license to the officers and had to undergo a blood sample procedure.

Only a few hours later, another patrol crew checked a 46-year-old man from kulmbach in his daewoo in bayreuther strabe. He had attracted attention because he drove his car out of a gas station lot, but at the sight of the patrol car he backed up and made another purchase at the gas station.

The reason, however, was not a forgotten errand, but rather an attempt to escape scrutiny. The reason for this was also quickly found: the test device showed a blood alcohol level of more than 1.3 per mill. The 46-year-old also had to say goodbye to his driver’s license and head home to fub after having his blood drawn.

The willow splint is barely wider than a wool thread: waldemar backert pulls it precisely through the rods, which are only half a centimeter apart. Under his dexterous fingers, a tiny basket is created that is just one-third as big as his hand. The michelauer is a master of his craft, and even if he is now at an age when others have long since put their hands in their laps, he makes many younger ones look old with his dexterity, weaving miniatures that have made him famous in the meantime. Weaving has been more than just a profession for him, it is his passion.

"He who weaves baskets grows old", jokes adolph kraus ,and the other weavers who for the last time in the season 2018 in the german basket museum in the "living workshops" present their craft, nod enthusiastically. In addition to backert and kraus, these are wilfried popp, for many years deputy head of the state vocational school for wickerwork design in lichtenfels, ilse schardt and werner herold, the last spank basket maker in mistelfeld. For all of them, their craft is a passion, a vocation, even in retirement.

Preserving traditions

The "living workshops want to preserve the old traditions and bring them to younger generations, explained first mayor helmut fischer in his short speech. During the summer months, weavers regularly demonstrate different techniques and work methods, from fine work to beaten work and special weaving techniques.

Many people who buy a basket today do not know how it is actually made, said the head of the town hall, let alone "how much time it takes to weave it". Fischer regretted, however, that the number of weavers was steadily declining. Nowadays, unfortunately, hardly anyone can earn a living by weaving.

That's why the community of michelau, as the much-cited "cradle of fine weaving," deserves a special mention and the association of the basket museum is keen to provide information through the demonstrations of the weavers and the exhibitions in the museum. The municipality is also willing to pay for it. The basket weavers who regularly demonstrate their craft here have made an important contribution to increasing the museum's attractiveness.

Nina-regina notzelmann and mayor fischer were particularly pleased that the german corbstadt queen alicia I. The "living workshops a visit: through the workshops the visitors can take a look behind the scenes of this original craft and its diversity. This can now also be experienced by the new basket city queen and passed on to many through her public relations work.
