Dirty Talk Worldcup Preview - Leogang

Dirty Talk Preview

New week, new World Cup and therefore a new Dirty Talk episode. In the latest Dirty Talk, Camille Balanche, Leogang expert and Swiss downhill figurehead, talks about the course in Leogang, the status of downhill sport in Switzerland and what she plans to do after the World Cup in Valais.

After what feels like an eternity, the Downhill World Cup continues. From the brand new course, it's back to the well-known and proven classic in Leogang. Leogang has hosted a World Cup every year since 2010, except in 2012 and 2020, when the Downhill World Championships took place instead. What else stands out about Leogang and 2020? The course was radically rebuilt and Camille Balanche won the gold medal at the World Cup with her controlled ride. In general, Camille and the new Leogang course are a very good match. Since 2020, she has won World Championship gold once, World Cup victory twice and 2nd place in 2023. 

So it's no wonder that Camille, of all people, is a guest on Dirty Talk. Camille had to sit out most of last season due to a crash in Andorra, but is now back at the top of her game. How has it gone so far, what will happen in Leogang and what will Camille do after the 2025 World Championships at home?
