Vice world champion Loïc Meillard (27) cannot even live up to the high expectations in the first giant in Alta Badia. After a cautious first run and a major challenge in the final lap, the Valais finished in 16th place. This means that the Graubünden Gino Caviezel (31) is the only Swiss in the top 10, besides the star Marco Odermatt (26).
Team senior Thomas Tumler (34) also performed very impressively in 15th place. The man from Samnaun saved his racing career at the very last minute last winter. «If in extremis I had not qualified for the World Cup final in Andorra in Kranjska Gora, I would have stopped. “I ended up suffering financial loss for two years and had to live off my savings.”
But since Tumler finished fifth in the giant slalom during the World Cup final, things are looking brighter for his bank account again. And his performance at the Gran Risa gives hope that things will get even better. The same applies to 23-year-old Fadri Janutin from Landquart, who finished 21st with starting number 55 and took some valuable World Cup points.
