Switzerland triumphs: Monney and allmen dominate the departure in Bormio!

In an impressive competition in Bormio, 24-year-old Alexis Monney celebrated his first World Cup victory in the departure. Monney, who went into the race with the start number 19, surprised with a courageous journey and distanced his compatriot Franjo von Allmen by 24 hundredths of a second. Monney, previously known for a eighth place in Kitzbühel, once again demonstrated that it belongs to the new generation of skiing stars, while the Austrian athletes continue to step on the spot, such as laola1.at reported.

Swiss dominance in Bormio

In total, six Swiss placed in the top twelve. In addition to Monney and Von Allmen, who ultimately dominated the podium, Cameron Alexander from Canada was also able to reach a place on the podium as third. The world-famous ski dominator Marco Odermatt had to survive a frightened second in the race when he had a teat in the middle section, but lived grandiose. With his fifth place, he only missed the podium by eight hundredths of a second, as platformj.ch reported.

While the Swiss indulge in the successes, the situation for the Austrian team looks different. With Vincent Kriechmayr as the best Austrian in a disappointing eighth place and Daniel Hemetsberger in eleventh place is noticeable. "It is not the result that I have set myself. In the end this is a big deficit. It is a bit depressing," said Kriechmayr. The situation throws shadows on the previous achievements of the red-white-red drivers, who could no longer achieve more than back points.

The departure in Bormio clearly revealed the strength of the Swiss team and the difficulties with which the Austrian Speed ​​class fighters are faced. Monney's victory and the closed team performance of the Swiss set clear signs in the international ski competition.
