Grond, who was the only Swiss to survive the men’s qualification, reached the finals as a lucky loser in both the quarter and semi-finals. In the battle for his first podium place, he clearly lost to the Norwegian quartet with day winner Erik Valnes and in the following places Ansgar Evensen, Even Northug and Harald Östberg Amundsen.
At the end of the year, Grond had already finished fifth in the sprint in Toblach as part of the Tour de Ski and in Livigno the season before.
On the women’s side, Désirée Steiner was the only qualified Swiss woman to be eliminated last in her series in the quarter-finals. The 25-year-old fell home in the home straight, but progression to the semi-finals was no longer within reach at this point. (par/SDA)
