The German hope wearer fails early in the parallel giant slalom and misses the ko round.
Ramona Hofmeister awarded her first medal chance at the Snowboard World Cup in St. Moritz at an early stage. The fellow favorite, who convinced this winter with six World Cup victories, failed in the parallel giant slalom at the start of the title fights in Switzerland surprisingly than 20.
After a messed up first run, the Olympic third on Mount Corviglia did not make it to the top 16 drivers despite the third best time on the Red Course. The hopes from a German perspective now rest on Cheyenne Loch, which qualified as 15th for the decision (from 1 p.m.). Melanie Hochreiter (25th) left like Hofmeister. The Czech all -rounder Ester Ledecka set the best time in advance.
The parallel giant slalom is Hofmeister’s strongest discipline, but the four-time overall World Cup winner is still missing. Hofmeister has previously won the World Cup medals in the parallel slalom, in 2019 she won bronze, 2021 silver. The World Cup decision in the parallel slalom is on Saturday (1.30 p.m.).
