Mathilde Gremaud also wins the third slopestyle competition of this World Cup season. The Fribourg woman, who was previously unbeatable on the Stubai Glacier in Tyrol and in Laax, achieved her fifth victory of the season in Mammoth Mountain, California. She also dominated the Big Air discipline twice, in Chur and Beijing. In total, it was the twelfth victory in the World Championship for the Olympic champion and world champion. Sarah Höfflin from Geneva narrowly missed her first World Cup podium in slopestyle this winter in fourth place.

In the men’s race, Andri Ragettli finished third behind the Americans Alexander Hall and Colby Stevenson. For the Graubünden resident it was his first top three finish in slopestyle this season. At the beginning of December he also came third in the Big Air in Beijing.

Just like last season, Melanie Hasler wins a European Championship medal in the two-man bobsleigh. The woman from Aargau secured bronze with the German pusher Mara Morell in Sigulda, Latvia, where the continental title fights take place as part of the World Cup races.

The German duo with Olympic champion Laura Nolte and Neele Schuten successfully defended their title. Silver goes to compatriots Kim Kalicki and Anabel Galander. At last year’s European Championships in Altenberg in Saxony, Hasler finished second together with Nadja Pasternack.

Livio Wenger also impresses in the mass start race at the World Cup in Quebec, Canada. The man from Lucerne came third in his flagship discipline. It is Wenger’s third podium finish this winter. He also finished third at the season opener in Obihiro in Japan in November and second in Stavanger in Norway in early December. (SDA)
