WC Sochi, RUS

The trip to Sochi was a big challenge for all teams. Three planes were loaded with skis and bags in Zurich. After a turbulent flight, the journey to the skiing region Rosa Khutor continued by bus. The skiers were able to run three training tours on the technical and icy slope. Many athletes had big difficulties with the demanding slope.

At the downhill race on Saturday, Beat Feuz succeeded with a top run and he won the race in front of Benjamin Thomsen and Adrien Theaux. It was a very exciting race, many athletes were far in front of Beat Feuz on the upper leg, but he raced off in the lower leg.

The Super Combination on Sunday proved to be a duel between Ivica Kostelic and Beat Feuz for the small crystal ball. Feuz was ahead after the downhill race but Kostelic only had a deficit of 1.5 seconds. In the slalom, the Croatian ran a great race and took over the lead. The Swiss also skied well but it was only sufficient for the second place. Thus Kostelic wins the ball before Feuz and Romed Baumann.

Congratulations!!
