World Cup victory! Filehner makes a big impression in Cortina

He's a phenomenon, this Roland Fiwickeler. The 38-year-old is currently struggling with severe back pain and said after his seventh place in Carezza on Thursday: “I hope that I can get my problems under control. Because it doesn’t make much sense to continue torturing yourself.”

15th career win Now “Fisch” has shown that even with a damaged back, he is one of the world's best parallel snowboarders: In the night giant slalom in Cortina, the veteran fought his way to the final, where he met Olympic champion Nevin Galmarini. Thanks to a clean and error-free ride, the Villnößer also had the upper hand against the Swiss.

For Fischler it was the 15th victory of his career. He seems to feel particularly comfortable in Cortina: he won the parallel slalom there last year. March and Ochner are convincing In addition to “Fisch”, Aaron March also knew how to impress: Schabser finished the race in fifth place. In the women's category, Karerpass winner Nadya Ochner failed in the quarter-finals, but a sixth final place is also quite impressive. Unsurprisingly, the victory went to Olympic champion Ester Ledecka. Parallel giant slalom in Cortina Men Pos Name Country 1. Roland Fischller ITA/Villnöß 2. Nevin Galmarini SUI 3.
