The Austrians celebrate, the South Tyroleans disappoint

Without Roland Filehner not much is possible at the World Championships. The veteran who won the silver medal in Rogla, Slovenia on Monday had made a big impression in the parallel giant slalom , was not set up in the slalom on Tuesday. Because of his mixed performance in the slalom, the coaches, who only have four starting places available at a World Cup, gave other athletes their trust. A questionable decision, after all Firiegelr had boosted his self-confidence with his silver medal. The South Tyrolean hopes lay with Aaron March, Edwin Coratti, Daniele Bagozza and Nadya Ochner. But of these four, only March made it into the knockout rounds. For Coratti (32nd), Bagozza (eliminated) and Ochner (30th) the final stop was already in the qualification. March took on Poland's Michal Nowaczyk in his round of 34, but was behind by a measly five tenths of a second. So the race was over for him too. The 12-year-old finished 11th in the final ranking. The best Azzurro was Maurizio Bormolini, who was also eliminated in the round of XNUMX and finished XNUMXth. Gold and silver for Austria While the parallel slalom was disappointing for the South Tyroleans, Tuesday was a day of celebration for Austria. Benjamin Karl was crowned snowboard world champion for the fifth time. The 35-year-old won the Austrian final duel in the slalom against Andreas Prommegger by 0,09 seconds. It was the third World Cup final duel between Karl, who was born in Lower Austria, and Prommegger from Salzburg. In 2017 in Sierra Nevada, Prommegger won against Karl in both the giant slalom and the slalom. The day before, Julia Dujmovits, an Austrian, also won bronze in the PGS, this time the Burgenlander was eliminated in the quarterfinals against the Russian Sofia Nadyrshina, who then won gold.
