Austria's best female slopestyle rider Anna Gasser has suffered an injury of the intervertebral disc in a training accident which occurred in Woodward, Colorado during her preparations for the up-coming competitions.

Huge honor for Alexander Stoeckl. The Austrian was voted "Coach of the Year" in Norway.

Benjamin Karl has been competing 19 times in Bad Gastein so far, now, the Austrian raceboard crack is ready for his 20th appearance.

Gregor Schlierenzauer withdraws from ski jumping indefinitely. The Austrian explained on his website: "I'll take an indefinite break after ten years of elite sports, I want out of the spotlight."

The warm winter weather has taken its toll on the Nordic Combined World Cup this year and so many teams went in search of snow to at least keep the training level on a high standard.

Bad news from the Austrian team: Sepp Schneider had a heavy training crash in Lillehammer, Norway yesterday and sustained a severe concussion.

Exactly one year ago, Nick Fairall suffered a severe back in injury when he fell in the qualification in Bischofshofen. Now he returned to the ski jumping World Cup for the first time.

He was the most dominating man of the last winter bringing home all three World Cup titles of the alpine snowboard World Cup tour but this season, Zan Kosir is still working on his comeback hoping to finally make his first World Cup appearance soon.

For the Polish team the 2015/16 season has been a disappointment so far, also their top jumper Kamil Stoch is still struggling with his shape this winter.

Gregor Schlierenzauer will not take part in the final event of the 4-Hills-Tournament in Bischofshofen. His place on the Austrian team will now got to Thomas Diethart, 4-Hills-Tournament winner 2013/14.
