In the wake of the ski-cross the day before, the finals of Snowboardcross de Veysonnaz gave the final verdicts for the 2021/2022 season.
Among the ladies, the British Charlotte Bankes was already assured of her crown. She confirmed it by winning the final. On the men’s side, in the absence of his Austrian “hunter” Alessandro Haemmerle, Martin Nörl quietly won the crystal globe, despite being eliminated in the quarterfinals. It’s the Canadian Eliot Grondin who ended up raising his arms on the tops of Zion.
Among the Swiss, only Kalle Koblet might harbor legitimate ambitions during this final Valais. The 24-year-old from Zurich had just celebrated a fine 3rd place at Reiteralm (Aut) a week earlier. But the Helvetian crashed from the start, missing his start. He ended his season in last place in his series, disappointed not to have fun one last time in front of “his” public.
It was not more brilliant for Lara Casanova. The 25-year-old St-Galloise was also eliminated from the start, finishing dead last in her quarter-final.
