The Reiteralm World Cup races did not smile on the Swiss. No place on the podium for both ladies and gentlemen. Worse, Fanny Smith fell heavily in the small final.
Eight days before the Worlds in Bakuriani (Georgia), Fanny Smith did not reassure. The Vaudoise first completely missed her semi-final, where she was finally ranked 3rd after a jury decision when she had crossed the line in 4th position.

The worst was yet to come in the small final. The Swiss had taken the lead at the first intermediate score, but was then clearly hampered by the Canadian Tiana Gairns, who changed lines and sent the Vaudoise into the background. His airbag even triggered, emphasizing the violence of the fall. She was finally placed 7th, but did not make it to the finish.
In Austria, no Swiss has therefore reached the semi-finals. Among the men, Joos Berry took 6th place, two places better than Marc Bischofberger. Victories for Sweden’s David Mobaerg and Sandra Naeslund.
