Intro:

The German alpine sports team held a media day on Monday (October 6th) at the Molltaler Gletscher (glacier) ski area in Austria.

Script:

SOUNDBITE: (German) Victoria Rebensburg, German alpine ski racer

"Sure, the highlight will be the World Championships in Vail Beaver Creek. A World Championship medal is still missing in my collection, so I won't mind if get something back home from there."

SOUNDBITE: (German) Fritz Dopfer, German alpine ski racer

"I think the main focus for me personally is to have a good start into the season. And then to probably improve a bit race by race, step by step and to achive good results accordingly then."

SOUNDBITE: (German) Mathias Berthold, men's head coach

"And when you are in the front at the World Cup from the very beginning, then you'll have of course big chances in big events and to be in the front at the World Championships. I think it is important to show these top performances during the time of the entire season."
