The telemark queen also strikes in Carezza

The Swiss, who celebrated her incredible 159th World Cup success, and the Frenchman won the spectacular and exciting sprint race in the Carezza Dolomites ski area on Wednesday in fantastic conditions. Local hero Raphael Mahlknecht from Völs, however, had to settle for eleventh place.

Amélie Wenger-Reymond is the most successful FIS athlete of all time. On Wednesday she also continued building her monument in Carezza. The 35-year-old Swiss, who won the overall World Cup eleven times and became world champion 20 times, achieved the fastest time in both runs on the Karerpass and ultimately won her 159th (!) World Cup race without a penalty second in 2.12,83:XNUMX minutes. A time that would have placed Wenger-Reymond eighth among the men.

Her compatriot Martina Wyss took second place, just 1,63 seconds behind the Swiss telemark legend and with the tenth fastest time overall. Wyss won the overall World Cup last season, when Wenger-Reymond took a break to have a baby. Completing the podium was Norwegian Goril Strom Eriksen, who raced into the top three for the sixth time in her career.

A penalty second and its consequences In the men's race, the young Frenchman Noe Claye celebrated his second World Cup victory. Still in third place after the first run, the 23-year-old took the fastest line in the decision and won his 70th World Cup race in 2.07,87:2.08,72 minutes. Claye benefited from a flawless run, as his compatriot Elie Nabot received a second penalty in the second round, which ultimately cost him the highest podium finish (XNUMX:XNUMX).

A Swiss, however, was able to take third place in Carezza. Nicolas Michel completed the two runs on the Masarè piste in 2.09,00:54 minutes. For the Swiss, it was the 35th World Cup podium of his career. The reigning overall World Cup winner Bastien Dayer, also from Switzerland, had to settle for seventh place at the World Cup premiere in Telemark in South Tyrol. The XNUMX-year-old was not without mistakes and received a six-second penalty.

Raphael Mahlknecht and the pitfalls of jumping Local hero Raphael Mahlknecht was even given seven seconds, as he did not reach the minimum distance in both rounds of the jump - one of the elements to be mastered in the sprint. The 21-year-old from Völs ultimately finished eleventh in his home World Cup, making him the best “Azzurro” ahead of Giacomo Bormolini from Livigno. “I'm not completely satisfied. Unfortunately I made a mistake during the jump. But tomorrow (Thursday, editor's note) is a new day and I'll attack again," promised South Tyrol's telemark pioneer.

The FIS Telemark World Cup in Carezza continues on Thursday with a second sprint race. The first run on the Masarè piste directly below the Rosengarten starts again at 10 a.m.
