Atkin and Harle on top in World Cup season's grand finale Isabel Atkin (GBR) and Teal Harle (CAN) have claimed victories at the 2016/17 slopestyle World Cup finals staged at Silvaplana's Corvatsch Park in Switzerland. As well, the season’s crystal globes ware handed out to overall slopestyle World Cup champions Sarah Hoefflin (SUI) and McRae Williams (USA). With the top 8 ladies and top 16 men selected in yesterday's qualifications including some of the biggest names in the sport, the anticipation was high ahead of today's competition. The innovative course, crystal globes up for grabs, and world's best freeskiers all on hand in Corvatsch, everything was set for another exciting show. Atkins claims her first World Cup win In the ladies' competition 18 years old Isabel Atkin of Great Britain stepped it up big time in the finals taking her first ever World Cup victory. Atkin scored 88.40 points for her first run that included a switch lipslide, wall ride, left 720 safety, a switch dub 12 and a switch left 720 mute as she took an early lead that she would keep for the rest of the day. Isabel was delighted with her win and said she put everything into the run following all her hard training this season. Emma Dahlstrom (SWE) grabbed the second place today with 86.00 points for her second run. It was also the fourth podium finish for the Swedish freeskier this season, with her highlight performance being a top spot in big air World Cup in El Colorado (CHI). Representing the host nation was Mathilde Gremaud, doing the Swiss proud and rounding out ladies' podium on third with a score of 80.20 points. Harle on top in men's competition Similarly to Atkin, also Canada's Teal Harle wrapped up the season's finals in Corvatsch in great fashion with a career-best result. Harle was on fire today, stomping perfectly both of his runs and with the high score of 92.80 managed to finish on top of the field. His run included 270’s in and out of the rails, left dub 900 safety, a switch dub 12 mute and stylish left corked 900 hand drag over the final feature. Notably, he landed his signature trick, the intricacies of which are his secret. “It’s like a double cork 10 but then you block it and land at 900 instead of 1080, so you skip the last 180. I believe it’s the first time that the trick is done in a contest run. It’s a little something that I have that is kind of unique!” said Harle. With the World Championships just around the corner, the win comes at good time for Harle, and the Canadian hopes for another good results in a couple of days in Sierra Nevada. “This gives me a lot of confidence going into Worlds. Now I know I can land my run so hopefully I can keep the momentum going,” Harle added. Harle is having a break-out season on the World Cup tour and after some promising results earlier this year with fourth and fifth place finish in Italy and Canada, he has finally made it into the podium. The US duo of McRae Williams and Gus Kenworthy took second and third respectively with 90.20 and 88.20 points. It was second podium finish on tour for both of them, with McRae also taking the win in Font Romeu, while Kenworthy placed second in the halfpipe World Cup in Mammoth. Hoefflin and Williams awarded with the crystal globes In the overall slopestyle ranking it was Sarah Hoefflin (SUI) and McRae Williams (USA) who showed the most consistent form throughout the season and ended up with the crystal globes in their hands. Hoefflin who had a 19 point advantage over Johanne Killi (NOR) before the competition in Switzerland, managed to stay on top of the ranking despite missing today's finals, placing the pressure on Killi to make top 5 in order to close the gap for the overall lead. The Norwegian rider gave it all right from the start throwing down big tricks one after another. However, at the end of a run that looked like it could have easily placed her on podium today, she ended up with big crash after going massive on the third kicker. Though she fought through the pain and managed to land her second run, the score of 72.20 points was only enough for sixth place on the day. Thus Killi had to settle for the second place in the overall ranking, falling short to Hoefflin by only one point. Colline Ballet-Baz (FRA) finished the season in third. As for the men, McRae Williams managed to edge out all the competitors with his second-place finish and took over the ranking with 180 points. Last year's slopestyle World Cup winner Andri Ragettli (SUI), who certainly wanted to repeat his success this year, couldn't quite stomp his superb run from yesterday's qualifications again in the finals. Finishing on sixth today Ragettli wasn't able to keep his advantage and wrapped up the season on second with 172 points. The last podium stop ended up in hands of Colin Wili, also representing Switzerland. With the World Championships just a couple of days away, the athletes will now slowly travel to Spain, with the slopestyle competition scheduled to take place March 17-19.

But this competition was won in an intense fight. In the end, it was one second that separated Rydzek and gold from Norway’s Magnus Krog and silver. Akito and Yoshito Watabe took the bronze medal for Japan, +10.2 seconds behind the winners. Francois Braud and Maxime Laheurte shone in the jumping part of the event. Both delighted the crowd with jumps of 125 metres and a point total of 264.2 points had the Frenchmen leaving the start line 16 seconds ahead of the German team. Frenzel/Rydzek accumulated 256.1 points after two jumps of 125.5 and 122 metres. The brother pair Watabe put Team Japan on the third position after the jumping event. Two times 123 metres brought them 255.4 points and a time disadvantage of 18 seconds on Braud/Laheurte. Also still in the contention was Team Norway with 24 seconds to make up after Magnus Krog and Magnus Moan jumped 126.5 and 119.5 metres respectively. Bernhard Gruber and Willi Denifl followed 4 seconds later and were also still on course for a medal at the start of the race. The local heroes from Finland, Eero Hirvonen and Ilkka Herola, had two slightly weaker jumps and started 48 seconds behind the leaders from France. Team Slovenia had a solid performance on the jumping hill with youngster Vid Vrovhnik holding up well under the pressure and Marjan Jelenko showing part of his jumping strength with 121.5 metres. The had to make up a time disadvantage of one minute and four seconds. Even a crime writer could not have come up with a storyline with more tension and excitement than what the cross-country part of the race provided. The gaps between the first five teams were eliminated quickly into the race and from then on a true “formula one” feeling took over. With constant action in the stadium and fast interchanged between the athletes, the spectators were entertained at best. Germany, Norway, Japan, France and Austria stayed together in the leading group, even with Akito Watabe falling closely before an exchange at the halfway point of the race. Willi Denifl hat lost contact to the top four on one of his laps but with the athletes in front playing tactical games, his teammate Berni Gruber was able to close the gap again. Ultimately, however, the Austrians, Frenchmen and Japanese were left behind again when Eric Frenzel and Magnus Moan attacked on the last uphill on their last lap. Exchanging to Johannes Rydzek and Magnus Krog, the hunt for the medals was truly on on the last lap. In a nailbiter of a finish line sprint, which was made even more difficult by Russian athlete Samir Mastiev who was just overlapped in an inconvenient position before the finish strait, Rydzek got the inner lane and stormed to his fourth consecutive gold at Lahti 2017. Magnus Krog and Magnus Moan had to be satisfied with silver, while Akito and Yoshito Watabe won the first-ever Japanese Team Sprint medal at World Championships. Austria claimed rank four, France finished on the sixth place, Italy was seventh and the Finnish team ended their home World Championships on place eight. The fastest team on the track was team Norway who needed 28:38.8. for the 2x 7.5 km, the fastest individual skier was Magnus Moan (13:53.0).

Russia took silver and Sweden battled back from 7th place after the second exchange to take the bronze. Sweden's Marcus Hellner recorded the fastest third leg and brought the team into medal contention. Sweden had Calle Halfvarsson as the anchor and amongst the 4 team fight for the final podium position, he was the best finisher. The games began early between Halfvarsson, Finland's Heikkinen, Germany's Boegl and Switzerland's Perl with no one wanting to lift the pace to early to thin the group down. Sweden, Finland and Switzerland entered the final curve together with Halfvarsson leading the group. A fall by Heikkinen on the final curve took Finland out of the bronze medal battle. Switzerland's Perl kept Halfvarsson honest all the way to the line arriving just 0.2 seconds behind in 4th. Heikkinen recovered in time from his fall to bring Finland across for 5th just ahead of Germany in 6th.

So, It was really a very long period since Slovaia had 3 athletes on points in the womens biathlon. Today was a Very nice day for us. Especially great efforts by both Fialková sisters. Paulína once again showed that she can in a perfect day fight against the best in the world. today she had 10th best skiing times !!! which helped her despite 2 penalty loops to finish in top 15. But the moment of the day was her sister Ivona, incredible long waiting for her very first points in world cup came finally to the end today, with only 1 miss in the standing shooting and very good skiing (17th fastest of the day) in general fantastic skiing of our girls today . she ended together with her more famous sister in the top 20. Also Jana Gereková finishing her season here in PyeongChang this weekend, tried to finally earn her best seasons result, and she was very close, todays 27th place is her second best result this season. same as for her team mates, pitty for this 1 penalty, otherwise it would be 3rd top 20 today. Terézia Poliaková was again slow, as all current season, unfortunately she had also a very bad shooting resulting in 80th place, far from the points. In overall, today was a crazy day for our womens biathlon, even without Nastya we achieved by far our best race in a couple of last seasons since Kuzmina wins in World cup finals in Oslo 3 years ago. We collected absolutely crazy 365 points for the Nations cup today !!!!!! what apitty our 17th place looks fixed, we are 137 points behind 16th USA, but at least our 5 olympic quotas looks now pretty well assured, since we have currently a very confortable 1111 points advantage over 21st place of Slovenia. in the 4 starters next seasons world cup battle we gained today also a very nice amount, now we are 547 points ahead of 18th Japan.

This gold came in the ladies' 4 x 5 km relay at the 2017 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Lahti, Finland. The 2017 Sprint World Champion Maiken Caspersen Falla was given the 1st leg spot for Norway and not only held her own but skied away to give her team a slight lead at the first exchange. At the first exchange it was down to a four-team lead pack with Norway, Sweden, Finland and Poland. Poland had Justyna Kowalczyk as their lead off skier. Kikkan Randall of the USA was the 5th team into the exchange just behind the leading group. On the second leg Norway's lead was gone quickly after fast starts from Sweden's Charlotte Kalla and Finland's Kerttu Niskanen. The quick start for Kalla proved to be a bit to much as Niskanen went to the front and pushed the pace over the final few kilometers and at the second exchange it was just Norway and Finland together. Impressive skiing from both Norway's Astrid Uhrenholdt Jacobsen and Sweden's youngster Ebba Andersson changed the dynamics of the competition with Norway out front alone and Sweden and Finland battling for the silver medal position. Despite the team lead Norway's anchor skier Marit Bjoergen still recorded the fastest time on the final leg and brought Norway home for the gold medal. The race for silver came down to the final 300 meters with Stina Nilsson of Sweden overtaking Finland's Krista Parmakoski coming off the final downhill to secure the silver medal by 0.5 seconds ahead of Finland who settled for the bronze. The US team skied to a solid 4th place finish +1:33.8 back of Norway and just over 30 seconds off the podium. Russia took the 5th place position almost a minute behind the USA.

Thank you, lovely neighbor

oh no, I´m really satisfied, maybe it sounded too harsh, but no, it wasn´t my intentions this is a super day, I´m very happy about their performances, the girls deserved it, especially I´m mega happy with first ever points for Ivona, we knew she can do it for years, but always something happened and she finished far behind, her best WC results before todays race was 43rd place in Oslo WCh.. so finally!!! the comment about shooting was maybe a bit exaggerated I admit, they have repeatedly demonstrated even much worse shooting in the past

well, it is not that so many other nations are missing, not many countries have capacities to form a relay, for example from todays missing entries I would say that only France not sending a relay is quite surprising and unusual

well, this is possible, I just wrote what our commentator said

3 GIRLS ON POINTSSS (and without Kuzmina) !!!!!!!! Ivona Fialková with her absolute careers best. first time ever she won points in the world cup standing !!! Congrats Ivka!! Paulína with 8th fastest skiing time !!! wow congrats Paulína ! this was very very very succesful race for us, something like this didn´t happened for a f....g long while pitty once again with our miserable shooting, I don´t even want to try to imagine what ranks we would have today with perfect shooting...pitty for this shooting, but maybe it would be too much

Marie Dorin-Habert DNF after big crash...she was currently 3rd after 2nd shooting
