At the final of the Argovia Vittoria-Fischer Cup in Hägglingen, Jolanda Neff leaves nothing to be desired and wins by almost three minutes ahead of Seraina Leugger and Chrystelle Baumann. In the men's race, Nick Burki beats Sven Olivetti and Fabian Eder to win the overall standings. Fiona Klien celebrates overall victory in the women's race.

The iXS Downhill Cup in Ilmenau also counted as the German Championships, which brought surprising twists and turns in the women's race. The title went to Raphaela Richter, while the top favorite Nina Hoffmann came away empty-handed after a spectacular crash. Richter won ahead of Helen Weber and Hanna Blochberger. In the men's competition, defending champion Henry Kiefer kept his horses together and won the title once again. Hannes Lehmann and Julian Steiner took the places of honor.

With the aim of offering a simpler and more comfortable alternative to a chest strap, COROS developed the heart rate monitor for the arm. The heart rate monitor is very precise in its measurement and is barely noticeable on the upper arm. The lightweight strap was designed to be worn on the biceps - it weighs 19 grams including the sensor. The battery lasts 38 hours in activity mode and the HR monitor can be connected to three devices simultaneously via Bluetooth to transmit accurate heart rate data in real time. The HR monitor is compatible with any Bluetooth-enabled device.
