Olympics 2018 and World Cup 2019. Switzerland has been measuring everything in team events in recent years, always winning a gold medal. In Cortina, however, it was already clear after the second duel: there would be no repetition.
Shimel Bisg was the last to win his run, but then hit the ice with his ski pole. Two hundreds were missing.
So Switzerland fail in Norway in the semi-finals and it is very close. In addition to Bissig, Sandro Simont and Camille Rast started, losing their pair in the semi-finals, as in the previous round against Canada, when Wendy Holdner presented each. Switzerland started with a by-election as there were only 15 teams.
A disappointment for Holdner
The defending champions had a bronze duel against Germany, which had previously failed due to Sweden. Things were repeated, Holdner defeated Emma Eicher, but then Simon and Rast lost Stephen Lutz and Andrea Filzer to the blue course.
And the only thing that was biting was the shaking of the head, faster than the 23-year-old rival and parallel expert Alexander Schmidt, but this time 13 hundreds were missing.
Switzerland has to do with the fourth place. To the disappointment, particularly to Holdner, there will not be a medal in this World Cup at this time, but there are still chances in the giant slalom on Thursday and the slalom on Saturday.
In the Duel for Bronze, Wendy Holdner scored the first for Switzerland against Germany.

The final was Scandinavian. The best possible team without Henrik Christophersen and a duel for gold with Norway. And if somehow this curiosity is not over, Cortina won’t be Cortina. Sved Christopher Jacobsen became a little too close to his opponent, Sebastian Foss-Solewag, after which he broke his run.
So both of them were initially straightened out to compete for running again. Fosse-Solewag won his run and because shortly after teammate Fabian Wilkens Solheim defeated Matias Röngren from Sweden, Norway are the world champions of the team event.
Norway is the world champion, with Sweden securing silver and Germany securing bronze.
Only fourth place in Switzerland is ungrateful. Here is a brief summary of the race.
Norway submitted 1–0.
But now the second run will be repeated: Jacobson apparently interrupts Norwegian Fos-Solewag during the race. Now we will drive again!
Sarah Hector has now scored a point for Sweden. So 1: 1.
Now again: Fosse-Solewag against Jacobsen. And Fosse-Solewag wins the repeat. 2: 1 for Norway.
The World Championship gold medal goes to Norway in the team event!
Here we go, it’s about bronze! Holder vs Emma Eicher.
On the red course, Schwezerin wins again. 1–0 for Switzerland.
Can Simone run an innocent now? He competes against Stephen Lutz.

Camille Rast vs Andrea Filmer. Valaisian is also driving well, but you know, she also loses on the blue course. 2: 1 for Germany.
Semyel Bissig will have to fix it again. Hope Schwyz!
It’s a shame, it’s not enough. Vicious defeated Alexander Schmidt, but again he failed by a few hundred.
Fourth place for Switzerland, Bronze for Germany.
“It will be exciting against Germany, but we have a real chance,” says Swiss ski head coach Beat Centur. It is expected that Holdner, Biseg & Co. will seize this opportunity. To be continued soon.
Sweden lead 2–1 and German final driver Stefan Luitz faces a Herculean task.
But it was difficult even after all, you can’t blame Luitz here. Sweden in the final, Germany against Switzerland for bronze.
Will the Swiss make it to the finals? Holdner starts again and he drives against Reece-Johannison.
Our parallel race chief delivers again and gets the first point.
