The Swiss quartet had no luck on their side in the Cortina World Cup team event. Norway wins ahead of Sweden and Germany.
The best locations
- 1. Norway
- 2. Sweden
- 3. Germany
- 4. Switzerland
Switzerland missed the ninth medal in the ninth World Cup decision. Wendy Holdener, Camille Rast, Semyel Bissig and Sandro Simonet lost in the small final of the Germany side event. In the decisive fourth race, Bissig was only 12 hundredths short of third place.
It would have been much more possible for the Swiss team, who triumphed in Are in 2019. Yes, even the fight for gold or silver was within their reach: in the semifinal duel with Norway, it was only 0.02 seconds that Bissig and company ruined the final. The damn two hundredths of a second had already ruined Loïc Meillard’s final standings in Tuesday’s side race.
In the second round, the Swiss-Ski-Quartet enjoyed a break after the withdrawal of France, in the quarterfinals the Swiss beat Canada by a narrow margin.
Norway is the new world champion
Norway were crowned world team champions for the first time. The team surrounding Thea Stjernesund, Sebastian Foss-Solevaag, Kristina Riis-Johannessen and Fabian Solheim forced Sweden to their knees with a 3-1 win after runs.
The duel between Foss-Solevaag and Kristoffer Jakobsen (SWE) was the subject of discussion. Jakobsen went off the track, which apparently irritated Foss-Solevaag. The Norwegian missed a goal and discarded his hands. Jakobsen carried the victory to the end. However, the race management decided in retrospect to repeat the race, with the best finish for Norway.
Austria, who had been one of the main favorites in the run-up, failed in the quarter-finals. The record world champion in this discipline drew the short glass against the Swedes.
Distance
Due to the increase in temperature, the track was soft. And with each trip it affected more. Like the day before, the red route turned out to be faster than the blue one.
