He was of the view that ski-racing as a profession is quite competitive in nature in Austria. In order to explain the same, he affirmed that finishing at second position is not bad for others, but in Austria the second position cannot guarantee a spot in the Olympics team.

Reichelt has said that it would not be wrong to affirm that it is like a battle secure a place in the Olympics. There are so many players in Austria and the only thing that one can do is to push hard and that is when you get on the team.

Reichelt has won the World Cup with six wins. Not only this, he has also registered the slalom title with him and was a runner-up in giant slalom. Players face injuries, but then also they continue to work hard.

If to talk about the current World Cup ratings then the top 15 positions are full of Austrian skiers. Reichelt stands that third position, Hirscher is at second position and Matthias Mayer is at eighth position.

Reichert has also suffered back injury. He was of the view, "Sometimes I do have to take painkillers, and it hurts after GS. GS is really hard on my back".?
