Linus Straßer Aims for Historic Slalom Victory in World Cup

The German ski star targets the elusive Crystal Globe as he prepares for the new season, hoping to end a 34-year drought for German men.

  • Linus Straßer, one of the world's top skiers, is focused on winning the World Cup Slalom title after narrowly missing out last season.
  • Straßer's goal is to secure the Crystal Globe, a feat no male German skier has achieved since 1990.
  • The skier has trained intensively over the summer, including a stint in Argentina, and is ready for the upcoming race in Levi, Finland.
  • Straßer faces increased pressure as the main hope for the German team following several retirements and injuries among teammates.
