Franz Klammer, Franz Heinzer, Luc Alphand, Stephan Eberharter. These sizes of the downhill run managed to win the small crystal globe in the discipline three times in a series. Now Beat Feuz belongs to this exclusive circle.

Within three seasons, he has completed 25 runs of their 20 on the podium, the 33-Year-old scored in 1822 of 2500 points, no worse than Eighth, he never was. The Numbers, the incredible constancy of the Emmentaler – the Beat Feuz show not too long ago, even for the impossible had held.

His reign is the result of a change. His self-understanding is different than it was even three, four years ago. At the time, he stacked in front of departures on supposedly not tailor-made lines deep, to which him in the race the last Conviction was missing.

His reign is the result of a change.

Meanwhile, Feuz know that he can be independent from the terrain and the conditions, the fastest. This Belief is deep inside of him, says the world Champions of 2017, "but it needed its time until I realized that really". Close to him say, because of his mental strength and inner security Feuz start of each quasi with a couple of Hundredths ahead of the competition.

the service man, he hardly speaks about the Ski

The security is in connection with Feuz generally a key factor. It is the main reason he dominates the scene, but not a serial winner. With ten take place in the descent, he himself is in Switzerland, only the number 4 – behind Peter Müller, Heinzer and Didier Cuche.

Feuz is none of this wild daredevil, the risk to the long slats of the head and neck. Rather, he is the master of the calculated attack, he always builds in a little margin. He has a unique sense for the Situation, understands the driving style to the visibility, and slope to adapt to conditions. Feuz is satisfied with the bird in the Hand. For this, he crashes almost never. After eleven knee surgeries and the threat of sports disability, this tactic is no alternative.

Maximum Minimalist, he was for many years in fitness training, he still holds a little of extensive video analysis.

Ultimately, Feuz is the Prime example of that unconventional paths can lead to success. Maximum Minimalist, he was for many years in fitness training, he still holds a little of extensive video analysis. With the service man, he speaks about everything, but almost never on the Ski. Common training lessons Feuz leads since childhood to the point of absurdity. Not only because of the chronic knee badly his physical conditions are not ideal: 173 centimeters and 84 kilos, it is for a driver to be too small and too easily. He compensates for lack of mass with brilliant technique, with feeling, with instinct.

33-year-old Feuz, for a driver that is no age. And even if the Dressens, Paris’ and Kildes press, will depend on him so fast hardly. Wherein a fourth bullet hermuss necessarily – more like the first victory in Kitzbühel. Win the bracket, Heinzer, Alphand and eberharter ahead of him.
