Gold and silver go to two riders who are back in action at the World Championships after injury breaks. Myriam Nicole has yet to ride a race this season and Tahnee Seagrave was injured in the second World Cup race of the season after winning the first one.

In this respect, it becomes clear why Emilie Siegenthaler said at the finish that this fifth place was actually worth even more than her third place in Lenzerheide. "Myriam Nicole can hardly run, what she showed here is impressive. My goal was top five and I wanted to be less than 15 seconds behind. Now it's five seconds," explains Siegenthaler. "It was a huge run for me."

Apart from small mistakes, she did very well over the fast 2.9 kilometers. She felt "very strong", said Siegenthaler, who wants to try and make it onto the podium in the overall World Cup rankings next weekend in Snowshoe Mountain.

Carina Cappellari finishes tenth (+23.813). "The course has become extremely fast, almost too fast," she says. She started slowly, "as always", but then managed quite well. "I would say: it's okay," says Cappellari.

Camille Balanche makes a mistake in the top sector that costs her around six seconds. Then she tries to push. That goes wrong at some point. She rides off the track, pushes back to the point where she went out and then, with this loss of time, has no chance of a result that matches her performance so far this season. She finishes 17th, 37.995 seconds behind
"I pushed too hard, was simply too fast and had to get off the track. The mistake at the top resulted in the second one," says Balanche. She is already thinking one week ahead, to the World Cup final in West Virginia. "The overall is more important to me than a single race."

Juniors: Klaus in eleventh place

Janosch Klaus is "not dissatisfied" with his run, as he says. At the finish line, he shook his head because he made "too many mistakes". Sometimes a wrong braking point, sometimes not hitting a line - that sticks in the mind for now. "I don't think anyone gets down here without making a mistake. The track is very special compared to those in Europe, but it's awesome," he says after his second race in Mont Sainte Anne.

"I'm happy to have survived it," he says with a smile. In the end, he finished eleventh, 9.323 seconds behind world champion Kye A'hern from Australia (4:17.776), who beat Antoine Vidal (France) by 1.144 seconds and Tuhoto Ariki-Pene from New Zealand by 1.294 seconds.

Favorite Thibault Daprela from France only managed fifth place (+1.889). Yannick Bächler drops out of the race. After a crash, the suspension fork shifts so that the bike is no longer rideable. Yannick Bächler is unable to finish the race.

No Swiss rider is competing in the juniors. Defending champion Valentina Höll from Austria lives up to her position as favorite and wins 12.928 seconds ahead of Norway's Mille Johnset and 21.230 seconds ahead of Anna Newkirk from the USA.
