Visit Austria's ski crosser: No medal at World Cup in the Engadine!

Austria's Ski Crosser suffered a bitter defeat at the World Cup in the Engadine in Switzerland without winning a single medal. After a disappointing performance in the individual races on Friday, the mixed teams could not on the podium on Saturday. Adam Kappacher and Katrin Ofner landed in seventh place, while Johannes Rohrweck and Christina Födermayr already failed in the quarter -finals. Gold medal for Switzerland was won by the two outstanding athletes Ryan Regez and Fanny Smith, who also triumphed in the mixed competition, such as krone.at reported.

difficult conditions and scarce failure

Kappacher, who had already occupied seventh place in singles, showed a solid performance despite the difficult conditions due to a very slow slope. He and Ofner survived the quarter -finals as second, but had to delete the sails in the semi -finals. In the small final, they fought for places five to eight and finally reached third place, which brought them the seventh overall. "It's a shame that only places one, two or three count," said Kappacher in an interview with ORF.

The quarter -finals were fourth for Ofner, while Rohrweck only failed by 0.03 seconds in the semifinals. The sporting director Markus Gutenbrunner drew a mixed conclusion of the World Cup and noted that the results reflect the previous services in the World Cup, in which small mistakes repeatedly thrown back the athletes. However, the ski crossers have the opportunity to prove themselves at the upcoming World Cup final in Idre, Swedish, as laola1.at reported.
