Swiss Schmidiger posts huge margin in World Jr slalom win
Make it two straight for Swiss slalom ace Reto Schmidiger. The 18 year old successfully defended his gold medal from the 2010 World Junior Championships Monday (Jan. 31) by a little more than a second and a half over teammate Justin Murisier. Getting third, and the bronze medal, another half second out was Mathias Rolland of France.
Erik Read – son of Crazy Canuck Ken – posted sixth on the day at the FIS Junior World Ski Championships in Crans-Montana, Switzerland behind fourth finishing Klemen Kosi of Sloevnia and Santeri Paloniemi of Finland.
Matthew Strand of the Buck Hill program, led the U.S. in eighth. Canadians showed well, in addition to Read, with Philipp Brown in tenth and Trevor Philp 11th. Brennan Rubie was the next U.S. skier on the finish list in 26th.
“The good news,” said U.S. team leader Walt Evans, “is that Matt Strand, a 17 year old rookie on a team among all these veterans, got the ice broken and got us some Hodler Cup points.”
Evans said he was impressed with Strand as the youngster watched Mike Ankeny, in his third year on the World Junior team, struggle and changed his strategy. “He went a little conservative on the first run and skied really well in the second to move up to eighth,” said Evans.
He said it was particularly impressive considering the number of World Cup skiers in the field. “I’m not making excuses. Our guys are skiing great, but haven’t sealed the deal. We’re looking to move forward and start getting results now.”
He pointed out several of the U.S. squad hiked to complete their runs to stay in contention for the combined event with totals results from the GS, slalom and downhill.
Seven men will start training for the downhill with the last two guys shooting it out for one of the six starting slots.
“There isn’t a lot of snow, but the courses are very good. It’s a strong organizing committee,” Evans added.
Canada’s Read said he felt the conditions were a bit too soft. “My first run was alright, but conditions were pretty soft again,” he said. “About half way down I caught an edge and slid a little, but I stayed up, kept going and skied the bottom really well. … I’m really happy with my result today and I’m happy for the whole Canadian team.”
For the second straight day Lotte Smiseth Sejersted was fastest in the women’s downhill training run, again followed by a handful of Swiss racers. Canada’s Sarah Freeman broke into the top 10 finishing ninth. Abby Ghent led the U.S. for the second straight time, with a 20th place finish.
Men have their first training run Tuesday while the women go live with their downhill.
