Shock for Sigi Klotz: end of season after crash in San Candido

The Ski Cross World Cup is only three races old – and for Siegmar Klotz it already ended on Saturday. The Pawigler fell in the semi-finals in Innichen and fell unhappily on the pool. Klotz then complained of severe pain and was taken to the hospital in Innichen, where the bitter diagnosis was made: a pelvic fracture. “The season is probably over for me,” said Klotz. It was little consolation that, despite the crash, he achieved eighth place on Saturday and thus his best result of 2018.

Berry leaves everyone behind The second ski crosser World Cup race produced two new winners on Saturday on the Haunold slope. In the men's category, Joos Berry celebrated his first ever World Cup victory. The Swiss, who achieved the sixth fastest time in the qualification, eliminated his competitors in the knockout phase and was always the fastest ski crosser in his run. This was also the case in the final: Bastien Midol (France) was in the lead on the first part of the route, but Berry caught the entrance to the negative curve - this year's criterion on the Haunold piste in the 3 Zinnen Dolomites region - ideally and took the lead took the day's victory. Naeslund triumphs among women Among the women, the Swede Sandra Naeslund was in a class of her own. The 22-year-old Scandinavian celebrated her tenth World Cup victory, the second in San Candido. The reigning world champion prevailed in an exciting final ahead of the Olympic champion from Sochi, the Canadian Marielle Thompson, and the Swiss Sanna Lüdi. For the Swiss, it was the first World Cup podium in almost five years and the ninth overall of her career, while Thompson finished in the top three for the 33rd time - in 3 World Cup starts.
