The savior of the Swiss Downhill Championships is Lenzerheide
The Swiss downhill specialists are now coming to their championships after all. After the originally planned event in Saint-Luc on October 3-4 had to be canceled at short notice, Lenzerheide is now stepping into the breach.
The weekend of October 24 and 25 has been reserved for the national championships - Saturday for training and timed runs and Sunday for the finals. All licensed athletes in the U17 girls and boys, U19 women and men and elite women and men categories can register, and the masters can ride for the title.
The races will take place on the official World Cup course in Lenzerheide. Lutz Weber will be the defending champion in the men's race, while Carina Cappellari's successor in the women's race is still to be decided. Cappellari ended her career last fall.
The big favorite is the newly crowned world champion Camille Balanche. Emilie Siegenthaler has to miss the start due to her knee injury.
