The crowning conclusion on the Seiser Alm

Due to the weather forecast, the start of the snowboard men's final was brought forward to 9 a.m. Just in time for the start of the competition, the sun peeked through the cloud cover and gave the athletes the best conditions. 18 drivers made it to the final and fought an exciting battle for the podium. Anyone who expected difficult conditions and therefore restraint from the athletes was immediately disabused. In the first of the two final rounds, the snowboarders put on a show at their best with some triple corks in the kicker line and top technical standards in the rail section.

Lauzi surprises everyone US boy Chris Corning immediately confirmed his ambitions of winning the day in the Snowpark Seiser Alm with a technically difficult run and a triple cork. But it was the only Italian in the final, Emiliano Lauzi, who was the absolute sensation until shortly before the end had eyes. Having only qualified through a wildcard from the organizers and the Italian national team, he immediately took second place with his first run until the penultimate starter, Tischendorf Fridtjof from Norway, positioned himself in second place. However, it was the last rider, Farrell Lyon from the USA, who pushed Emiliano Lauzi off the podium by 0,61 tenths. “I feel at home here” “For me it's unbelievable, a podium place would of course be much nicer, but I'm still happy with my performance and did my best,” said Lauzi, who added after his best career result: “And at home too, because That’s what it feels like here on the Seiser Alm, which has offered us incredible training conditions for years.”

Meanwhile, with today's victory on the Alpe di Siusi, Corning also secured the crystal globe for the overall World Cup winner.
