Petzen-Bleiburg is ready for its international winter triathlon debut this weekend (26 January).
The race is guaranteed. The course for cross-country skiing is prepared with artifical snow.  said Hannes Brger from the LOC.
The winter triathlon season started in Valberg two weeks ago. Sigi Bauer (AUT) and Sigrid Mutscheller (GER) won the world cup title in France at the beginning of the season. On Saturday the home favourite Sigi Bauer would like to take the opportunity to confirm his great shape just a week before the ETU Winter Triathlon European Championships to be held in Gaishorn (AUT) on 2-3 February. His main opponents could be the reigning European Champion, Andreas Swanebo from Sweden and the bronze medalist Daniel Antonioli from Italy. Over 60 men will line up in Petzen-Bleiburg.
In the womens field another Austrian-Swedish duo, Carina Wasle (AUT) and Eva Nytrom (SWE) could compete for a gold medal. Both of them were on the podium at the European Champs in Triensenberg-Steg (LIE) last year.
