Ski Mountaineering World Championships 2023: Axelle Gachet-Mollaret and Rémi Bonnet win Individual Race

The penultimate day of the ISMF Ski Mountaineering World Championships 2023 hosted the queen discipline, the Individual race, which took place in beautifully sunny conditions on a perfect course.

Switzerland's Rémi Bonnet, winner of the Vertical race a few days ago, dreamt of becoming double World Champion and he took the race into his own hands right from the outset, building a 40-second lead after the first climb. Not williong to give his adversaries even the slighest of chances, he increased his lead throughout the course and crossed the line almost two minutes faster than Matteo Eydallin from Italy who finished second. Teammates Robert Antonioli and Nadir Maguet placed third and fourth, while France's William Bon Mardion finished 5th.

In the women's race France's Axelle Gachet-Mollaret demonstrated her astounding superiority once again, steering clear of the pack right from the start to finish with a monumental +3 minute lead ahead of Italy's Alba De Silvestro, while teammate Giulia Murada placed third 42 seconds later. Johanna Hiemer of Austria achieved a career-best result placing fourth, as did fifth-placed Giulia Compagnoni.
