The German skier's ongoing confidence issues hinder his performance, leaving him out of World Cup points again this season.

Linus Straßer failed to finish the second run of the Slalom World Cup in Alta Badia after taking excessive risks following a difficult first run.
Straßer admitted to struggling with self-confidence, which he believes is affecting his ability to perform consistently and avoid mistakes.
The 32-year-old had a disappointing start to the season, failing to replicate his strong performances from last year when he ranked second in the Slalom standings.
Norwegian skier Timon Haugan claimed victory in Alta Badia, followed by Switzerland's Loic Meillard in second and Norway's Atle Lie McGrath in third.
German teammate Anton Tremmel secured his first points of the season, finishing in 25th place, despite challenging course conditions that saw 22 skiers eliminated.
