Matej Svancer conquers Slopestyle World Cup: a race to victory!

Matej Svancer impressively demonstrated that he belongs to the head of freestyle sports. With a shiny second round, in which he scored 89.43 points, the Salzburger secured his first place and at the same time took the lead in the overall ranking of the "Park and Pipe" discipline. He left the New Zealand Luca Harrington (87.54) and Ben Barclay (87.00) behind and demonstrated his great progress. It is particularly noteworthy that Svancer, who ended as 13th in the first round, pushed the pole position from third place in the overall ranking. The Halfpipe World Cup has already ended, which means that Alex Ferreira, the third-placed American, cannot collect any more points, such as Laola1 reported .

At the start of the season at the Stubaier Glacier, Svancer had already set a strong sign by taking sixth place with 81.22 points. This was not only his best result in slopestyle, but also the start of a promising season. The Norwegian Birk Ruud, who triumphed again, also made first place in this discipline, while Svancer kept his nerve after a bumpy first attempt and clearly triumphed in the second round. Before the competition, the bad weather conditions whirled the qualification, but Svancer still found his shape and showed impressive tricks, where he surprised himself. In an interview, he said: "I am glad that I brought down a run", which underlines his relief about the successful appearance, so Austria.
