Florian Wilmsmann, Tobias Müller and Daniela Meier were eliminated in the semifinals of the Ski Crossers’ World Cup opener at the Secret Garden (China) and thus missed their chance to make the podium. The best DSV athlete was Wilsman in fifth place, Müller in eighth, Maier happy in sixth on his return from a long injury. Tim Hroneck finished eleventh. Daniel Bohnekar and Niklas Baxletner took 19 and 29 ranks.
Naslund and Ridzik win the World Cup opener
The victory went to Sandra Naslund from Sweden and Sergej Ridzik from Russia. While fellow favorite Naslund did not stand a chance in the final and long-term rivals Fanny Smith from Switzerland, Marielle Berger Sabatel (France) and Katrin Offner (Austria), it was the more exciting men’s competition. Ridzic was only ahead of Brady Lemmon (Canada) and Bastian Midol (France) in the final meter.
Goal: Gathering Knowledge
Ski crossers “sniffed” the Olympic routes for the first time. “In addition to procedures and running paths, we mainly want to collect valuable information about snow conditions and weather,” said Haley Herdt, sports director of Ski Cross, which runs the Olympics ahead of the start of the World Cup. There is also a test program for Play. said.
Daniela Meier, who is celebrating her return to the World Cup after a serious knee injury, was delighted to have the opportunity to drive in China and “feel what the snow is like there, what the mountains look like and what the course is”. Result (yet) not played the first puzzle. It will be very different in early February.
