Perspective
Feurstein was raised in the village of Mellau in Vorarlberg, and debuted as a junior in November 2017. In February 2019, he won two medals at the 2019 European Youth Olympic Winter Festival in Sarajevo, finishing second in the mixed team event and third in the slalom.
At the 2021 Junior World Championships in Bansko, Bulgaria, Feurstein secured a win in the giant slalom as well as a silver medal in the super-G. This earned an invitation to compete in the super-G event of the World Cup finals at Lenzerheide, where he finished 19th.
In December 2021, Feurstein suffered bilateral tibial contusion when he crashed at race in Zinal, Switzerland.[1] He was able to return into racing a few weeks later and was third in the Super-G standings for the Europa Cup season, which secured a spot for the next World Cup season.
On 28 January 2023, Feurstein achieved his first top 10 result in the World Cup, finishing sixth in the Super-G at Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.[2] He crashed out in the following race, suffering from a medial ligament tear and missing out on the remainder of the season.[3]
Feurstein achieved his first World Cup podium on 7 December 2024, in a super-G at Beaver Creek, Colorado, US. His first win (and second podium) came a few months later at the World Cup finals in March, taking the super-G at Sun Valley, Idaho, US.
