The Austrian National Downhill Championships, the so called Staatsmeisterschaften, were held at the Zauberberg Bikepark in the town of Semmering. The competition was not limited to Austrians, however, and the race boasted a strong international field.

After being plagued by technical problems during his World Cup run in Maribor one week ago Matti Lehikoinen (MS-Intense Factory Racing) showed his potential by taking home his first win of the season with a time of 2:48.29. Californian talent J.D. Swanguen came in second, only 0.98 seconds behind his team-mate, and edging the best Austrian, Markus Pekoll (SOLID Aclass Factory Team Planai) from Schladming, down to third place by another 2.50 seconds.

In the women's elite category Austrian World Cup racer Petra Bernhard (Ancillotti - FSC tieschen) won in a time of 3:07.56 ahead of MS-Intense's Mio Suemasa, who was recovering from last week's crash at the World Cup in Maribor. Anita Molcik (Union four Elements) finished third.
