The incredible Eric Frenzel wins the day and his fifth overall Once more, Nordic Combined superstar Eric Frenzel has made history. He won the last event of the season, making it a double victory in Schonach, and also his fifth consecutive overall. In the end Frenzel beat rival Rydzek by 125 points. Francois finished second in the event, +7.7 seconds after Frenzel, Japanese Akito Watabe was third (+11.2). With this result, he also captured rank three in the overall from Fabian Rießle with 1086 over 1069 points. Local hero Tobias Simon got to enjoy a lot of time in the Leader Board as the 24-year-old German won the jumping round with bib number three. 104.5 metres proved to be unbeatable today and 128.2 points gave Simon a head start of 27 seconds on runner-up Johannes Rydzek for the race. Rydzek did not give up on the overall World Cup and announced his intentions for the victory of the day with a 101.5 metre jump. 121.5 points meant starting position two and 30 seconds of advantage on Eric Frenzel, who ranked eighth after the jump. Jan Schmid repeated a strong jumping result and finished third today. 101 metres and 121.3 points meant a starting time of +0:28 after Simon. Young athletes were out in full force in the top ten of the jumping part: Mario Seidl was fourth, Vinzenz Geiger fifth, Espen Andersen sixth, Samuel Costa seventh, Leevi Mutru ninth and Antoine Gerard tenth. Local hero Fabian Rießle unfortunately fell after landing a good jump of 102 metres. He had to start from position 38 with a delay of one minute and 51 seconds, while his rival for the third position in the overall, Akito Watabe, ranked 16th with 94.5 metres and a time behind of one minute and 14 seconds. The situation before the race was tense: If Rydzek took the win, Frenzel would have to finish at least fourth to secure his fifth consecutive overall. During the race, it first looked like Eric Frenzel would speculate to rank fourth or better as the defending overall champion let Johannes Rydzek ski away at the head of the field. First accompanied by Jan Schmid, Rydzek held the lead for the first seven kilometres of the race. After Schmid dropped off, Frenzel switched into higher gears and also went for the victory of the day. Looking strong, he caught Rydzek, who had nothing left to fight against Frenzel. In the end, it was a triumphal finish for the Nordic Combined legend, while a tired Rydzek dropped back to position nine in the end. Francois Braud used the moment to capture the second place, beating out Akito Watabe, who still beamed with this result as it meant he secured the overall third rank. Rival Fabian Rießle finished 15th in a photo finish against Jørgen Graabak. Finland's youngster Eero Hirvonen collected another great fourth place.

Ochner and March triumph in Winterberg PSL Team event The 2016-17 FIS alpine snowboard World Cup season closed out in Winterberg today with a PSL team event staged on the Poppenberg slope in pouring rain again. Italy's Nadya Ochner and Aaron March grabbed the win ahead of 2017 PSL world champions Daniela Ulbing and Andreas Prommegger of Austria. “It was a fantastic race. It weren't the best conditions with the rain but the slope hold out pretty well. It was a pleasure to ride with Aaron today. I was pretty confident that he would do well today after he finished second yesterday. So, I just had to make sure that I go as fast as I could – and it worked out well,” said Ochner with teammate March adding: “It's a fantastic finish of the season. It was fun racing today, especially as Nadya was paving the road to victory very well. She gave me some pressure to go fast.” Germany's Carolin Langenhorst and yesterday's triumphant racer Stefan Baumeister rounded out the podium as third doing their home country proud by beating Switzerland's Julie Zogg and Dario Caviezel in the small final. The second PSL Team event was the first one ever to be staged on German soil. In the team event, the second racer starts as soon as the first one has crossed the finish line. It's a format which provided tons of thrilling duels from start to finish today – including the battle for first and third as both heats featured some exciting head to head racing and were decided by the tiny mere of 0.03 seconds.

FIS FREESTYLE SKIING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Men's Halfpipe Final Results BLUNCK Aaron 91.80 RIDDLE Mike 89.60 ROLLAND Kevin 88.40 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Women's Halfpipe Final Results ONOZUKA Ayana 89.80 MARTINOD Marie 87.00 LOGAN Devin 84.20 Onozuka and Blunck claim halfpipe world championship golds The penultimate event of the Sierra Nevada 2017 Freestyle Ski & Snowboard World Championships went down on Saturday night under the lights of the Spanish resort, where Ayana Onozuka (JPN) and Aaron Blunck (USA) took gold medals in the halfpipe competition. Competition was delayed by 30 minutes as crews went all-out to clean out a pipe that changed rapidly as temperatures dropped just before competition, but once they did get things in order the stage was set for what turned out to be hugely entertaining contest. Ladies’ gold medallist Onozuka was on fire all night, stomping all three of her runs and earning scores in both runs two and three that would have been enough to earn her the world championship title. At the end of the day though it was run two that would do it for her, putting down a line that was highlighted by a first-hit left 900 and a switch right 720 safety, earning her a score of 89.80. Big, clean, and stylish from run to run and trick to trick, there was no doubt that Onozuka deserved the Sierra Nevada 2017 world championship title. “I still can’t believe it,” Onzuka said after awards, gold medal adorned, “It’s my first win of the season, in the last competition of the season, and I just can’t find the words to describe this feeling. Before dropping in tonight I was very nervous, but I was able to land my runs and for that I’m so happy. Especially about my 900, which has been my new trick this season.” Onozuka was followed up by halfpipe veteran Marie Martinod (FRA), the 2016/17 World Cup halfpipe crystal globe winner who qualified first and was the last lady to drop in on the evening. Martinod changed her run up completely for her third run in a go-for-broke push for the gold medal, launching a well-grabbed final hit 1080 that, had she landed it, would very likely have had her on top of the podium. However, she came up a little short on the final rotation, and as a result her first run score of 87.00 would be the one to stick, and she would have to settle for the silver. Bronze went to Devin Logan (USA), last season’s Freestyle overall crystal globe winner. After a decent first run some and problems in run two, Logan was able to put it all together in run three to earn a score of 84.20 and her piece of the Sierra Nevada 2017 halfpipe podium. Blunck sets early benchmark that can’t be beat Over on the men’s side, Aaron Blunck dropped in with the second run of the evening and proceeded to stomp a benchmark score that could not be met by a finals field stocked with the great majority of the best halfpipe skiers in the world. Blunck squeaked into finals in the 9th spot, but once there he made no mistake in his first go, with a run bookended by a first-hit left double cork japan and a last-hit double cork 1260 mute, and with three hits of near-perfection in between. “I could not be more stoked,” said Blunck from the finish, “This is the best season I’ve ever had and it’s been like a dream come true for me. I’ve just wanted to have as much fun as possible and this season it feels like that’s all it’s been. “I was super excited to land that first run. As the night went on it got faster and icier and scarier in there, so to get that first one down was big. But the crews here in Sierra Nevada did a great job to get the pipe to the condition it was in tonight.” Just behind Blunck in second place was top qualifier and long-time halfpipe ruler Mike Riddle (CAN). After missing much of last season due to injuries and struggling somewhat in 2016/17, Riddle was able to put it down when it mattered most this season, landing a second run in Sierra Nevada that was highlighted by a silky smooth left double cork 1260 to earn a score of 89.60 and the silver medal. Third place and the bronze medal went to France’s Kevin Rolland. Like Blunck, Rolland went all-out on his first run to earn a score of 88.40. However, knowing he had Blunck’s mark to catch, he pushed it even harder on his second run only to suffer the most spectacular crash of the evening. While he would be mostly unharmed from the wreck, he wouldn’t be able to put down a clean run three, and the 2016/17 halfpipe crystal globe winner would have to settle for the third step on the podium.

Schoeffmann and Baumeister victorious in season's PSL finale Sabine Schoeffmann (AUT) and Stefan Baumeister (GER) have claimed victory in the 2016-17 FIS Snowboard World Cup season's last parallel slalom race which was staged in Winterberg (GER) in pouring rain today while Ester Ledecka (CZE) and Andreas Prommegger (AUT) capped off an incredible season with the alpine snowboard overall World Cup title. But before things got fired up in front of some hundred spectators which were braving the weather and cheering for their favourites, it was time to say good-bye to Isabella Laboeck (GER) as the 2013 PGS world champion had announced her retirement from competitive snowboarding for health reasons. Ongoing problems with her right ankle had led to the decision to go for one last run in front of a home crowd – as a result, the 30-year-old two-time Olympian performed as forerunner of the knock out rounds before the world's best were ready to go for one last race for the podium – and the last title decisions. In fact, the battle for the four remaining Crystal Globes was still an open one; and it wasn't always the leading athlete to walk away with the precious prize and glory. In the women's event, Sabine Schoeffmann earned her career's second crossing the finish line of the 350 metres long course on the Poppenberg slope only 10 hundredths ahead of 2017 PGS world champion Ester Ledecka therefore underlining, that she can deal with bad weather conditions. Back in 2014 in Montafon, Austria Schoeffmann had secured her career's first win in a shower of rain, too: “I guess I'm a fan of rain, but yes, I'm glad that I was able to perform well despite the weather conditions, especially as things didn't went the way I wanted them to at the world championships. It was a tough week, but I'm happy with things turned out.” With Ledecka finishing in second position, the Czech superstar who had earned a Gold and a Silver at last weeks world champs was able to head off Alena Zavarzina on the home stretch snatching the alpine snowboard overall World Cup title (4,860) with the so far leading Russian having to settle for second (4,500) after wrapping up her season with a seventh rank finish. “It was a great race again. I am very happy to be here, it was a great organisation, the slopes were quite similar so it was a very nice race for everybody, and I am happy because I enjoyed every single run, and at the end I got the big Crystal Globe. Actually, that was a big surprise because I have missed three races when I attended the alpine ski world championships last month. But I didn't think of of the title at all. So, I'm very happy about the title and finishing off the season as second of the PSL World Cup, too. It was a great season, and I'm already looking forward to the next one. In today's battle for third, Daniela Ulbing was left standing with nothing after her Austrian teammate Julia Dujmovits had crossed the finish line first. But the surprising winner of the 2017 world championships parallel slalom race was able to defend her lead in the PSL World Cup standings bringing home her career's first Crystal Globe (2,300). “Of course I was going for the podium, and although I missed it, I'm very pleased as I won the PSL World Cup title. It's incredible. I'm super happy,” explained Ulbing Over in the men's event, Baumeister beat Aaron March in the big final to secure his career's first with the slight advantage of 0.31 seconds on his rival from Italy. Although having been defeated in the final run of the day, the South Tyrolean athlete claimed his career's first Crystal Globe as the fifth ranked rider of the 2017 parallel slalom world championships event moved onto the top of the PSL World Cup standings with a total of 1,560 with Baumeister (1,440) and former leader Christoph Mick (ITA; 1,410) wrapping up the season as respective second and third of the discipline ranking. “It was tough today as it was raining all day long. I knew I have to give it everything I have to have a chance for the podium, and I have tried to concentrate on my racing. This went out pretty well. I knew that I would have a slight chance for the Crystal Globe, but everything had to fall into place. And well, that's what just happened. So, I'm very happy. Taking the title is amazing. It was a dream of mine since I have been a little kid,” March said. In the men's small final, it was Austria's Alexander Payer bringing home the third rank ahead of double Olympic champion Vic Wild (RUS). Andreas Prommegger, fresh off two Gold medals from the 2017 world championships in Spain, placed 13th but finished off the season as dominating raceboarder securing the alpine snowboard overall World Cup title and therefore his career's third Crystal Globe. “The whole season was crazy, especially the last week was intense. I had a very good streak with for wins in a row, which unfortunately ended today in tough conditions. But, having the luck on my side, things went to my favour, so I was able to claim the overall World Cup title. It was an incredible season I would have never expected to experience,” the double world champion of the 2017 worlds said. The alpine snowboard World Cup tour will close out the season tomorrow with the season's second PSL Team event staged in Winterberg on the same slope. It's the first time ever a German venue will host a team event. Finals are slated to take place at 10:15 AM CET. Check this link for LIVE TV times.

Norway takes the home win, Kraft the world record Incredible team competition as part of the RAW AIR Tournament in Vikersund (NOR). On the world's largest Ski Flying hill local hero Robert Johansson was the first to set a new world record with 252 m (the old record was set by Norway's Anders Fannemel in 2015). Only a few minutes later there was yet another record jump: Austria's Stefan Kraft landed at outstanding 253.5 m and could hardly avoid a fall. The win in the team event went to Norway. At first it didn't seem as if it would become such a great day for Ski Flying due to the difficult wind conditions. It took almost 40 minutes for the first 12 athletes to jump in the first round, then the jury had to decide to cancel it and start again later. What followed was an unbelievable spectacle on the HS 225 Vikersundbakken in Vikersund! With the two world records, many flights over 240 m and personal bests the triumph of the Norwegian team, the first this winter, almost became a side note. Daniel Andre Tande, Robert Johansson, Johann Andre Forfang and Andreas Stjernen took the win for Norway with 1572.6 points. The strong Polish team, with Piotr Zyla, Dawid Kubacki, Maciej Kot and Kamil Stoch finished second with 1538.6 points. The third place went to Austria (Michael Hayboeck, Manuel Fettner, Gregor Schlierenzauer and Stefan Kraft) with 1465.4 points. "Everything has to be perfect for a new world record and everything was perfect today, the conditions and my jump", said the new world record holder. "It was an incredible feeling, pure adrenalin. As a team we are happy about the third place", added Kraft. Robert Johansson, who held the world record for a few minutes today, was also overwhelmed by what happened on the monster hill in Vikersund. "After my jump of 252 m I was full of emotions and adrenalin. I knew that it would go near the world record when I was so high over the knoll. Then I just tried to go as far as possible and stand it. For me it was the first time that I stood on top of the podium with the team and it's something very special. It was a great day for us. We all showed very good jumps", said Robert Johansson. Piotr Zyla explained for the second-placed Polish team: "It was a really good day for me. The trial round was already very good and in the first round I had a great jump on a new personal best. Everyone on our team was jumping well and we are very satisfied with the second place. The conditions were good today, it was nice head wind. Ski Flying is the perfect ending for the RAW AIR." Slovenia came in fourth with 1424.0 points. The team around Peter and Domen Prevc could have made it to the podium, if Anze Lanisek's first jump wouldn't have been over after only 120 m. The Prevc brothers and Jurij Tepes were as strong as usual in Ski Flying. The evening in Norway ended with a disappointment for the German team. With 1305.2 points the athletes of Werner Schuster finished fifth. Karl Geiger, Richard Freitag, Markus Eisenbichler and Andreas Wellinger lost their chance to fight for a top result today when Karl Geiger landed already at 132 m in the first round. Wellinger still leads RAW AIR overall Once again Andreas Wellinger was the outstanding athlete of the German team. He showed a completely convincing performance with 245 m and 242.5 m and defend his overall lead in the RAW AIR. Before the final event on Sunday in Vikersund, Wellinger leads with 1879.5 points, followed by Stefan Kraft (1873.3 points) and Kamil Stoch of Poland (1806.0 points). Japan, the Czech Republic and Switzerland came in on the places six, seven and eight in today's team competition. The final competition on Sunday will definitely be extremely exciting. The event on the Vikersundbakken starts at 2:15 pm CET. Full Results Here Stefan Kraft 253.5m New World Record

Hirscher, Vlhova win on penultimate day in Aspen Marcel Hirscher won his third giant slalom race in a row to cap off the season where he held onto the discipline title despite advances from a number of competitors. In the come-from-behind race victory, Hirscher took down first-run leader Felix Neureuther – who ultimately finished second – by 0.53 seconds and third-place finisher Mathieu Faivre by 1.19 seconds with a spectacular second run. "You know today’s race was very tough but you’ve known me for quite a long time and for me every race is very serious and I want to win it if it is possible," said Hirscher, referencing both his competition and warm temperatures. "I’m super, super happy protecting the globe from Alexis Pinturault this season. It means a lot to me because at the beginning of the season he was unbelievably fast, so I proved myself to be pretty good during the season.” With his podium finish, Faivre finished the season standings in second place and Pinturault, who failed to finish the second run, finished in third by a single point. In the ladies slalom, Petra Vlhova held onto her first-run lead to claim her first race victory in a season. Mikaela Shiffrin, who secured the slalom title last week, pushed hard in the second run but ultimately finished in second. Frida Hansdotter rounded out the race podium in third. With her result and Ilka Stuhec deciding not to start in the slalom race, Shiffrin also mathematically claimed the 2016-17 Overall title, the first big crystal globe of her career. "It’s beautiful," noted Shiffrin. "I love racing at Aspen and I love racing in front of a home crowd. It was a good day." She has yet to fully process the accomplishment of the Overall title. "No, I don’t know if I’ll ever process [the Overall globe]. It’s been a goal and a dream of mine since I was five years old, and it’s really difficult to understand something that finally happens after 20 years." Veronika Velez Zuzulova in second and Wendy Holdener in third completed the slalom standings podium. The ladies will race GS and the men slalom on the last day of World Cup Finals on Sunday.

FIS FREESTYLE SKIING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Men's Ski Cross Final Results OEHLING NORBERG Victor -Big Final PREBBLE Jamie -Big Final PLACE Francois -Big Final ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Women's Ski Cross Final Results NAESLUND Sandra -Big Final SMITH Fanny -Big Final DAVID Ophelie -Big Final Double ski cross gold for Sweden in Sierra Nevada The 2016/17 ski cross season came to a conclusion in storybook fashion on Saturday at the Sierra Nevada 2017 Freestyle Ski & Snowboard World Championships, as a double gold medal-winning performance for Sweden's Sandra Naeslund and Victor Oehling Norberg capped off a rollercoaster season for the Swedish ski cross squad. It was an incredibly entertaining competition from start to finish in Sierra Nevada, with the surprises coming early and often through the course of the day. In the very first heat, three-peat crystal globe winner, 2013 world champion, and top qualifier Jean Frederic Chapuis (FRA) was bounced from competition after casing a landing in the middle section of the course and falling behind. Season third-overall on the World Cup Alex Fiva quickly followed suit on his way out of the competition, while top names like Chris Delbosco (CAN), Marc Bischofberger (SUI), and Jonas Devouassoux (FRA) all found themselves done for the day after the 1/4 finals. Then, on the ladies’ side, 2016/17 crystal globe winner and reigning Olympic champion Marielle Thompson (CAN) failed to advance from her semi-final heat, and was forced to settle for fifth place with a small final win. However, even without Thompson, the ladies’ big final came down four of the toughest competitors in the game, with Naeslund lined up alongside Fanny Smith (SUI), Heidi Zacher (GER) and Ophelie David (FRA) - the athletes who finished ranked second to fifth, respectively, on the 2016/17 Audi FIS Ski Cross World Cup leaderboard. Naeslund’s gold medal-winning performance was a dominating one, as she lead from top to bottom with only a brief period where Smith closed in hoping for an opening to pass. Naeslund wasn’t having it, and turned on the jets, crossing the line as the Sierra Nevada 2017 ski cross world champion at the age of 20 years, eight months, and 12 days to become the youngest-ever ski cross world champion. “I’m really happy,” said the typically understated Naeslund following awards, “I didn’t get a full training run today because I got yellow flagged, and then in the 1/4 finals I had some mistakes, my starts weren’t so good, but I felt confident with my skiing once I got going and my skis were fast. "It’s incredible for our team, today. For Victor, he’s had a tough season, and for him to win the gold now is amazing. For me, I’ve been skiing good all year, and now to take the gold medal is really good.” Smith would cross in second for the silver medal, giving her the missing piece for a collection that already includes 2015 bronze and 2013 gold. Meanwhile, the incredible David would hold off Zacher to take bronze and the fifth world championships medal of her career, all at the age of 40 years old. Oehling Norberg caps toughest season of his career with triumph Victor Oehling Norberg’s gold medal performance at Sierra Nevada 2017 was an incredible triumph for the 26-year-old on a multitude of levels, and should go down as the most emotionally-charged story of the season. First, there is the fact that that he just returned to competition at the World Championships after missing the final two events of the season due to nagging injuries, making for more than a month elapsed since his last taste of ski cross competition. However, more important than that, is the burden he has carried throughout the season since his teammate and partner Anna Holmlund went down with a serious injury in December. Oehling Norberg excused himself from the tour to be by Holmlund’s side following her injury, attempting a late-season return to competition for events in Germany and his native Sweden that would lead to the re-aggravation of those nagging injuries mentioned above. Oehling Norberg was slowest out of the gate in Saturday’s big final, but quickly passed Francois Place (FRA) to make his way into third behind 2015 world champion Filip Flisar (SLO) and Jamie Prebble (NZL). When a small mistake by Flisar in the middle of the course saw him drop out of the lead and into fourth, Oehling Norberg zipped by both him and Prebble and into a lead he would not relinquish, crossing the line first and capping off a season in which he has weathered the lowest-of-lows with the highest of titles - world champion. “When I woke up today I didn’t even think I was going to make it through to finals,” Oehling Norberg said from the finish, weary but smiling, “Everything I was saying to the media before today was lies, actually, just to pretend I was fine and to try to keep up momentum, because I’ve been feeling not the best and my body has been not the best either. “It was a very emotional win today. Even after the first heat I was exhausted. Sitting on the snowmobile going back up my legs were just thumping. It was so crazy. But I just took it one run at a time. Every time I was in the start gate I just thought, ‘Ok, this is the last time, let’s do this,’ and then I just kept making it through. And somehow, now, I’m world champion.” Prebble would hold on to Oehling Norberg’s tails to take silver; an incredible result for the lone World Cup ski cross athlete from New Zealand, who travels without his own national coach or technician and relies instead on a partnership with the Australian team. While his best World Cup result was a fifth last season in Arosa, with the fastest starts and determined runs throughout the day he truly earned his Sierra Nevada 2017 result. Finally, one more incredible turn of events in a men’s race that was full of them, was the bronze medal going to France’s Place after it was determined Flisar missed a gate in the first turn of the big final, disqualifying the Slovenian. Place’s performance surely goes down in history as the quickest an athlete has ever joined the ski cross World Cup and gone on to win a world championship medal, as the recent Alpine transplant only had three World Cup competitions to his name before stepping on to the Sierra Nevada 2017 podium on Saturday.

I have this feeling that this will be the only course Sagan will never win you know his nemesis, Lendl never won Wimbledon, Sagan will never win San Remo, because it´s not normal to always lose by milimeters with non-sprinters like Ciolek or Kwiatek, I guess we all understand that in each other race he would won without problems
